  I haven’t personally tested this, so this is all an assumption because of how related things work.

  On the web app for Lemmy, alternative text should be called out instead of the image (well, alongside since it lets you know there’s an image with alt text). When you use an image as the text of a link (so, what is normally a clickable image) it should call out that it’s a link, then that the link is an image, then that the image has alt text. This is not dissimilar to how things work if the image won’t load and the alt text is shown instead.

  On mobile apps it’s the wild west, almost entirely depending on if the app developers put in the additional effort to make all of that information available to screen readers. By default not a whole lot is given other than the text itself so images are often completely skipped or called out without the alt text.

  Yes. It partially makes sense because you could screw the new congresspeople who aren’t corrupt with hidden income sources into not being able to afford their living situation, which could become a really bad point of leverage for awful people. I believe their staff goes without pay though.

  They’re starting to charge $0.30/packet in some areas of the US. Clearly this place is going downhill only because of that /s

  I’ve unfortunately met people before who think those areas are just another parking spot, so honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if this was the real answer.

  After a while you just get used to the fact that your license plate is going to be bent at the very bottom if it doesn’t have a plastic holder behind it.

  It’s incredible how low of a bar that is, yet tons of people still don’t know how to clean their ass after they shit.
