I wish there was a way for me to add a separate set of text to my posts, that would only be read by screenreaders

that way I can do stuff like keysmashing and spongebob text, and in the screenreader text I can replace those things with *keysmash* and *mockingly, spongebob text*

this post is not about people who read alt text to optionally better understand images. this post is about people who need alt text and do not meaningfully (i.e. clearly) view the images they are attached to

people who need alt text: do you still find the same value in images as people who clearly, visually see them? for example, if you read an image of a beautiful sunset or a cute cat, does it fulfill you to read a long description of the details, or even just a short sentence, over nothing? what about jokes and memes, do you still find them as funny as those who see the images themselves, just based on the description? in other words, what images do you enjoy reading without visually seeing, and which do you not?

im especially interested in those who are totally or legally blind (as in the definition, not the gatekeeping), but if you read the fediverse from a (non-sixel/kitty/iterm) terminal or other non-visual medium i’d like to hear from you as well

query: has any visored entity attempted to display a qr code on its visor? this unit is curious if qr code readers can reliably [detect, decode] one from a visor's led grid.

consider a robot that responds to queries about its [identity, intended function, limits, status, …] by displaying {a qr code containing the url of its website} on its visor

sometimes when im using windows i pick a random microsoft process with a stupid name and kill it

With so much in the world being distressing, let me show you an article from The Onion from 1999 which is just simple and funny and kinda wholesome

As a sighted person, a 23-character long all-lowercase hashtag made from several words is hard enough to parse. For a visually impaired person or a screen-reader, it's friggin impossible. Use CamelCaseInYourHashtags! for the cost of a few shift keys, you'll make it SO much easier for everyone.
