        @AwetTesfaiesus Da stimme ich Dir zu, für mich wird an zweites Merkmal aber immer wichtiger, was mir allerdings auch erst in den letzte Wochen und Monaten bewusst wurde: Wie einfach ist es, mit den Vertretern der Partei in einen Austausch zu treten? Zu meiner Überraschung funktioniert dies in meiner Bubble nur mit zwei Parteien, den @GrueneBundestag und @dielinke .  Spannenderweise ist es bei meiner Familie ebenso, und die treiben sich nicht auf #Mastodon.

        Ich sehe von daher noch nicht ganz schwarz, Pun intended, wenn es um das Wahlverhalten der Menschen im #Fediverse geht.

          I have always loved daisies of any kind. These pretty white blooms called Chrysanthemum White Daisies I captured in a local parkland in the north of Sydney, NSW, Australia.

Each flower displays vibrant green yellow centers against the contrasting white petals.

This White Daisy is approx 5 to 6cm across. The green eye or stamen turns to yellow as flower ages. Grows in sprays.

THE FINE ART AMERICA LOGO WILL NOT APPEAR ON PURCHASED PRINTS OR PRODUCTS.

                          When I want to spin up my own instance that supports when composing a post and that can handle my significant amount of followers with a seamless migration from my current instance, which Implementation would you use? Ideally it should be a simple rootless container setup that JustWorks™ with podman. Perfection would be a single, self-contained container without the need to spin up several ones for databases or other stuff.

This image feels like a celebration of color, movement, and imagination. Thick, richly textured ribbons of paint sweep across the canvas like winding rivers seen from above, each stream flowing into the next through the full spectrum of the rainbow.

                                So how do they think it can be enforced everywhere?

                                Just like they try to enforce anything everywhere.

                                • They'll simply tell you to do it.
                                • They'll lecture you about it.
                                • They'll call you out if you don't do it.
                                • Once they've caught you not doing it repeatedly, they'll insult you as ableist.
                                • They'll block you. Before they block you, they'll announce in public that they'll block you because you're an ableist swine who refuses to add alt-text to his images, and they'll mention you so that you can see it.
                                  If you're only here to get and stay in contact with a select few people, none of whom are on Mastodon, you might not care.
                                  But if you need a certain amount of reach especially on Mastodon, this is bad.

                                I've seen all the above actually happen.

                                  Right now, this feature is only available in a development version of Mastodon and only on mastodon.social. Next will be the daredevil servers that run development code to be ahead of release in features.

                                  But eventually, a new stable release will be rolled out with this feature. More and more servers will be upgraded to this new version with this feature. Once typical activist servers like beige.party introduce it, my prediction will come true.

                                  I have family who have varying levels of blindness who consume media from all over the internet. All of them have been quite thrilled about the state of these new robot assistants we all now have such easy access to.

                                  Specifically assigned "alt-text" is never necessary.


                                  People who aren't sighted are usually happy about image-describing AI because it's better than nothing, and without image-describing AI, they've got literally nothing.

                                  In fact, however, image-describing AI is just barely better than nothing, if at all. It describes stuff that doesn't matter. It doesn't describe stuff that does matter. Most importantly, it's unreliable and inaccurate. It hallucinates and describes stuff wrongly. However, people who aren't sufficiently sighted don't know. They can't verify whether what the AI says is true because they can't see the image well enough to be able to compare it with the description.

                                  100% hand-written alt-text is always more reliable, more accurate and more fit for the context than AI-generated alt-text will ever be.

                                  I know from first-hand experience. I've tasked an image-describing AI with describing an image which I've described manually with no AI help first, and then I've analysed the AI description and compared it with both the actual image and my descriptions. I've even done that twice. The results were abysmal.
