🗨️ My comment ➡️ We also need people to listen. To accept the person's imperfections (since we all have that inescapably). To point out what we think after or along the way nicely, because right now it CAN'T say things at the job or in close circle so easily when wearing different hats / costumes / contracts.

Just #listening is a big tool and respect back into life and good practice.

To be heard / respect others in non-mainstream 'system' or workplace - because those places don't care about you / others to any high level.

#AltText

@pixelfed

Would be better to be like Mastodon as uncomplicated or functioning with even #old browsers.

Why not have it basic?
I know you and top coders can do it!

My browser is ancient #Mypal 68 / Maybe #Firefox 92-ish or lower but does other sites show stuff but with yours I get this error pictured

(#alttext added saying similar to this text)

Text read: Why can't PixelFed do things simply / is too backwardly compatible unlike my Mastodon account. How about making g a fallback mode / less complicated?

@RobsMuir Ok boosting that post for a start...

People make your own valuation for these estimated losses by #Russia from #Ukraine Armed Forces below!

🛸 #Drones = $29 million (is my valuation - below for calculation):

So per #drone I'd say $1000 (with the upgrades)
as if we were to buy it today as our own #market price and then consider how much it would be different for them to buy it at their cost.

Even our own personal valuation is nice here as a thought to think about... and then minus their 'discount':

So we could say $1000 per drone:

🛸 = $1000 x 57,5704 (#drones / #UAV)
= $57,504,000 / say $58 million 💲 💰

then say half that #cost...
= $29 million
...to pretend we have the #military discount or cost #price that we would have in their shoes....

$29 million only in drones!

OK that was fun... I might do this for the rest during the week and pick one at a time... :)

Readers please add your calculation below!

OK the list so far!

🛸 Drones = $29 millions
✈️ Airplanes = ?
🔫 Missiles = ?
🚛 MLRS = ?
⛑️ Troops = ?
🚢 🛬 🛫 = Warships / big boats
🚁 Helicopters = ?

I'm boosting this as a start and others smarter can get in on this and ahead of the game if they want meantime.

Certainly the visual price put price next to each would be like
"$$$ WOW $$$..." 💰

Have to look up how much a #submarine costs... but I know the battery are well worth all their money ! ⚡ ⚡

Let's say the formula is "hell of a lot of thousands each" or "look it up", minus a military discount / bulk-buy cost
= answer per "toy"!

#UAV =Unmanned aerial vehicle
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unmanned_aerial_vehicle

COST OF TOYS in WAR - LO$$ PER "TOY"

The title of the post shows the similarities of stealing and foraging. Both have in their actions what we basically all do: 'bring, take, get, collect, pile up'... something under different #circumstances and #environments for ourselves or others, near and far.

The morality is different for stealing but much of it the the same in life (as uncomfortable as that sounds!) when it's for yourself or family (or government using everyone's money to wage #wars / 🏦 paying for wars elsewhere / military industrial complex / #USPol etc).

This post outlines a tone showing it's the environment mainly that determines if actions are bad or good (which people can deliberately setup as the overall good or bad shell). So what defines if you are stealing for me?

➡️ Stealing if existing system is about scarcity / not loving people (then lead people to steal in some form (legally formed stealing company or state or other stealing from people).

Often both people and #planet #robbed / resources are "moved" elsewhere!)

or

➡️ foraging (if existing system is about growing people AND PLANET not cut-throat profit-priority TAKING AWAY EVERYTHING forcing people #conform / steal with $tates).

To forage is where a previous #generation or two have made it a priority to preserve and ADD things for people in the future to forage (trees, bushes, water pools, lead a simple life of fetching things rather than convert it to money-using objects etc).

A BETTER 'EFFICIENCY' WORKING WITH PEOPLE EVEN "STEALERS"??

I think you can #mutually use each other better to do more actions (I think that's what governments take advantage of in bad people) but importantly under a better environment....

Think of dogs and raising them in a fight club for dog fights or having them fed and watered while giving them options of things to fetch or people to go running with (people have dogs for these simple reasons sometimes).

People as a better " #EcoDiversity " (or some such term) comes into it for those that can do more and having #Diverse abilities to do bit of everything. A dog that can do more, some that just like running...

The problem is about being fed and housed enough, as the basic that hold people together, so people need not feel they have to steal or forage too hard (this is a hard #fact of #life and hard to bypass as some people will still do too much of even the nicest work or stab people in the back... but imagine most are nice dogs or through generational improvement could be turned from fighting dogs to much more pleasant runners. (behaviour over time / #epigenetics)

The #environment is the key mostly, like epigenetics and evolution through #habits... IF the rich and elite could ease up A BIT the horrendous profits they take from people and spend on them instead, so we could all get along a bit more and 'steal' / forage more properly together for each other. And even enjoy the time in city, field or wherever.

A bit like the lords and estates or feudal times but as benevolent dictator. It's a big of a dream I know but we've had flavours of them all that we could just stick with. It shows we able to do it, under a whip or under an incentive or bounty.

Not easy or realistic for your tastes, with profits perhaps coming from generation of screwing people, but I see #nature as saving us because it gives us what to do, what to get, grow, water, dig etc. Now more than ever.

Without being fed or housing (and without uncomplicated government growing things) then we revert to stealing of some kind what little is left or from other countries (wonder why #war continues?)...

Under nature we could find what to do... moving / stealing hay or whatever #environment we're in. If people are in a cut-throat banking system then stealing on the street is a direct reflection of those barriers (#banks choose who and how to give money and it's VERY political - good projects don't stand a chance to get funding / startup finance).

My thoughts are that if you enable the bad people you can still actually get the good out of them (both willingly and as knowing each others tendencies towards #productivity if better environments can be found).

ℹ️ For example - People who steal are just good at fetching things and accumulating (the basis of almost all work, legit or not)

Yes it is wrong is some sense but the actions can be seen simply as "bring and get"...

If it's all about pubs on Friday as an environment (and #profit for #government get the tax boost on the weekends) then it's only going to lead to a mess and poor #culture.

So if you can feed people enough (so they don't feel their life is in danger or depressed that they need money so much) then to 'forage' instead of steal can achieved together more harmoniously somewhere.

We all need a bit of thrill, adventure, physical exercise working with people occasionally, feel part of a unit etc...

I admit this is today with the overall crimes of the past (Governments are robbers themselves) then it's hard not to call anybody bad who works for them (we are all paying them as money 'disappears' or sorry 'we don't have enough and have to steal from this other pot, again'.

You always have to watch out for back-stabber but mostly if fed and housed people will do small and big work... Its true fed and housed is not priority of most #Government (they rather change with companies and reap/rape the profit) but this is another 'overall problem' or Meta problem that people have to understand.

Yes there are people that steal for kicks and just to hoard stuff.

No there are people that steal because there is nothing else to do, or literally is similar in morality as working in a call centre for an insurance company or bank.

Title in middle says Forage versus Steal, all year, every day? Background has assortment of foraged items like Nettles, Tomatoes, Eggs, Mushrooms, other greens.

#Access Is #Love for those that allow and enable other people...

Love for everyone in the creation and #access.

It can be hard to remember absolutely everyone (even to this post picture) but remembering and practising with others help developing better #habits for the way!

It is possible to add #AltText or take advice.

#FreeSchool hashtag is about developing 'Better people' so that #habits are the way towards that 'better' with people's own logic and understanding along the way how it #includes everyone.

#FreePalestine quote and higher public levels of #intelligence ...

" People are fine with "Save the #bees" as long as it doesn't actually threaten #capital, but speaking out against #apartheid is a bridge too far, apparently. "

#Quote by @daraghhayes @daraghhayes

#FreeSchool comment and picture below:

General level of public people is so bad right now (and maybe always was) and shirks so much responsibility it is like handing life on a plate on all levels (not just #war) ,

#Responsible #Humans #Needed not just for #Gaza

ℹ️ #ALTTEXT for pic below (or can skip reading the rest):

Title says: "Here take it all - As long as I sit here and do nothing. Here, take it as much as you want"

This is said by a perceived average Human Consumer towards those so-called leaders just extracting from the planet (and it's people).

There is a butler style silver tray under the title with the earth damaged and broken served on top (I drew this as people seem to let Earth get to this and not defend their habitat or own rights). This post exists as the level of intelligence or willpower to fight or make friends I see and hear is too low and main problem in life is to solve that and make friends / help out (which is why I'm on #Fediverse).

(ironically I couldn't apply the AltText due to some server issue currently so I'll retry / re-post later)

A number of points shown using arrows as a big list below:

Benefits to use AltText for all types of users.

Points use these arrows ➡️ which might make it easier to read or skip this longer list of reasons and questions I have below (aimed at sighted or other users to all chip in about):

1 ➡️ For #Blind people, the benefits are:

Adding #AltText hashtag to posts helps because there are people actively following #AltText itself daily as a hashtag. People enjoy using it to read more posts WITH text description of pictures. Those without text aren't going to be read by this audience. So I'm happy there are people we can #care about.

When descriptions are added it helps signify to those clicking or using tools they can enjoy this content in their feed and is more more suited to them.

2 ➡️ For Sighted people, the benefits are:

When I save your pictures, the AltText helps me copy and paste that description of where, what, who it came from. Sometimes I add your name to revisit your account later or give ideas. It helps come back to talk to you or those that have great flower pictures constantly to look at their account.

So #AltText overall helps the able and less able to understand and be reminded about your work and even keep in touch.

3 ➡️ About Creative Commons for pictures (can skip this section)

For those that want to add #CreativeCommons copyright license e.g. CC-BY-SA-NC etc it can easily write that to help stop big companies using your data (could also put this in your bio to cover it all to avoid copying and pasting as it can be a lot of work),

Add your attribution credits to the AltText (or bio) and show the level of sharing you're ok with.

For example "CC-BY-SA-NC" means it's:
Creative Copyright material
- Attribution needed
- Share-Alike (content can be shared in same way)
- Non-commercial license

#CreativeCommons or #CC is great. More info here:
https://CreativeCommons.org/

4 ➡️ I also would like advice about how well I phrased this post:

What do people prefer for example as words:
The blind / non-blind
Able-Bodied / #Disabled (not sure of this one)
Sighted / Less sighted users
#Accessible / Less #Accessible users ?
#Accessibility sound good like a level of access... but just wanted to hear what others think of these words in the list or big common errors.

This is all new to me but I've been using CamelCase forever and other types of good practices.

Also I'd like advice about presentation of posts...

5 ➡️ When making this post I clicked "CW" to add a Content Warning box even though I didn't need to warn anyone about the content but wanted the one-line compact post because it neatly adds a title bar and "Read more" button to expand the text.

➡️ My question is:
Adding CW doesn't show all the text at once on screen but I was wondering if that makes it harder to access for people trying to 'read' it using other ways?

Does it matter to those trying to use #readers and #accessibility tools if I add CW / Read more box to text? (#question)

THANK YOU TO ALL READING

The picture in this post was originally posted by Ambivalena @ambivalena post here: https://pixelfed.global/p/ambivalena/869884814199224176

I edited this picture add why it's a good example of #AltText (picture is of the moon at dusk and mostly dark shadows and I've added arrows showing AltText and mouse-over description)

8 ℹ️ THANKS AGAIN TO ALL - Hope I did well - a bit long but let me know what I can do to make it better as I can write fast !

I will be personally adding more #AltText #hashtags to my picture posts and re-doing some as I go along since people actually care !

Happy to hear / collect more considerations about #Readers #Braille #Disability #Ability etc.. 💜🥰

Picture is taken from another AltText post which has 2 arrows added around the description showing the Hashtag and AltText the picture uses. The original description without arrows said: A dark silhouette of some tree tops and the sky at dusk. Just above the trees hangs the pale red and almost full moon, against the dark blue sky.

#Buddhism Quote + #AltText for Pic ➡️ ...

" You might be tempted to avoid the messiness of daily living for the tranquility of stillness and peacefulness. This of course would be an attachment to stillness, and like any strong attachment, it leads to delusion. It arrests development and short-circuits the cultivation of wisdom. "

#FreeSchool summary = Attachment (even to #stillness) can lead to #delusion... or maybe just #delay.

Since the last update, in the #Mastodon #webClient image #altText is not shown until you click on the image, but it is in the source code for screen readers. Here it's not in the source code, and being an audio file it doesn't pop-up in the browser to let you see the text.
