hello. can you pls tell me what the highlighted numbers mean?

i used to assume they indicated new/unread posts in the associated #circles, but the observed behaviour does not support that interpretation. regardless of how many times i view said circles, or reload the page when at said circles, those numbers do not go away at that time. eventually they do either stop, or change value, but again bearing no correlation that i can understand to the actual circles' posts status.

if they are indeed supposed to indicate unread posts then afaict the function is broken -- can i disable it in Settings?

This is a colour abstract photo in landscape format of a line of five Turbo Otter float planes, viewed from the front and moored to a pontoon. Vancouver BC (2018). From the base of the photo and rising upwards to the three-quarters up level in the image is body of silver and black water with only the smallest ripples disturbing the surface. In the lower right corner the left edge of the pontoon extends away from the camera with more of the pontoon coming into view with increasing distance. Slightly to the right of centre and few metres from the camera is the front of the first floatplane. It is viewed from the same level as the centre of the propeller, with the height of the plane filling most of the height of the photo and with the both wingtips out of view to the sides of the image. The aircraft sits on two long and streamlined floats with multiple struts and cables connecting the two floats to the plane above. At the front is a large single propeller with three feathered blades (The forward edge of the blades are in line with the airflow and in this case with the camera). The blade in the five o'clock position is tied with a rope to the plane in order to stop the blades turning in the breeze. Behind is a long and streamlined nose with a rectangular black scoop underneath, the air intake and two large, dark, exhaust pipes on the side. The fuselage is white though the top surface of the nose is painted black. Behind and above the nose are two large wrap-around windows. The wings sit above the fuselage and are supported by a strut angled from below the fuselage outwards and upwards towards the lower surface of the wing. While the propeller and nose are in focus, every thing behind and on shore, rapidly blurs out of focus. On the water's surface four more sets of floats can be seen behind our first seaplane with three sets of wings visible above and behind. The pontoon on the right, stretches away from the camera. The left edge of the pontoon is lined with multiple, small car tires and is lined with numerous mooring cleats many with ropes extending from the pontoon to the moored float planes. The background is also blurred out of focus and overexposed to a milky coffee colour from the still low morning sun.

#AltText Test - Do you really need AltText ?

Can you favourite this post if you are #blind or similar ?

I know AltText is useful even for those not blind etc but not sure how many are desperate to see my posts, because the text is usually more than enough.

If your #disabled (or whatever the better terminology is you can teach me) let me know if anyone here actually needs my post as AltText.

Thanks

Being more mindful about #AltText helped me in a recent in-person interaction. There’s a blind family in our neighborhood and they were greeting our new puppy. Without thinking about it, I just launched into an alt text description of him as they were saying hi and they seemed to appreciate it.

Spotted the trippy turquoise bullfrog again! First saw Big Blue, as I call him, a few times last July, and we’ve been looking carefully for it this summer. Today success! It has a rare pigmentation deficiency known as axanthism, which affects amphibians. #Hiking #AltText

Alt...

A turquoise blue bullfrog rests on the surface of a shallow lakeshore, its big eyes projecting above its head and the water, its hind end covered by green algae, and in front of it is a yellowing lily pad. Its blue body is dotted with gray-black markings all over, and behind its eyes are two slightly raised round spots, which being bigger than the eye, marks it as a male. The color of this big bullfrog is crazy!

How long has it been since you’ve seen the original “Jurassic Park”?

SAM NEILL The last time I watched it in its totality was sitting beside Princess Di at Leicester Square at the London opening.

On the other side of me was my son Tim — he was 11 and completely swept away by it, but about the time the T-Rex turns up, Tim started to fart. And the draft was drifting across me to royalty! I spent the whole film in a muck sweat, thinking, “Princess Di is being exposed to the horrors of a little boy’s fart, but she’s going to think it’s me. Iam going to be subliminally blamed for my son’s crimes, and I don’t think she’ll talk to me afterwards.” But she was well brought up and never mentioned it.

JEFF GOLDBLUM [I love that story, Sam. I’ve heard him tell that a couple of times, and it’s just amazing the lengths that he will go to still blame the boy.

Gentle reminder to add alt-text to your images and screenshots if you want your content to be accessible AND multiply your engagement with much more people reposting your posts.

Adding alt-text is a win-win-win situation, really. It helps everyone 💚

A young Frederick Douglass looking very seriously at the camera.

I was just thinking, what if for one day we shared our pictures as text first and then attached “alt images” to them somehow — as a CW image?

Like you read the #AltText as the primary content, and then had to choose to view the image.

Not so we all wrote more florid image text that day, but to flip the script on the sighted experience.

Experimental example 👇

An Adélie penguin is captured mid-air, frozen in a perfectly vertical leap high above a floating ice floe in icy Antarctic waters. The penguin's body is upright, wings slightly pinned to its sides, with a spray of water droplets trailing beneath its feet. In the background, calm grey-blue ocean water stretches toward a foggy horizon with a massive, pale blue iceberg towering in the distance.
