@quintessence Hi, could I ask a question about something that was written in the Hackyderm docs? (if not, just ignore this post, it's fine)

On the 'accessible posting' page you had written: "Note you cannot add alt text after posting by editing a post." and I'm curious why that is. Doesn't adding it to the image make it the best for when someone who needs the alt text to easily find it in the right location they'd expect it?

GamersNexus posted an update to their YouTube channel regarding this stuff about the LG monitors:

It's been 0 days since I read someone stumbling over gender stuff and saying '... his/her.... ' instead of just saying '.... their...... '.
Why do so many (presumed) cis people still bother awkwardly saying male/female terminology instead of just simplifying it...

What kind of person are you?

Fedify is a TypeScript/JavaScript library for building fediverse software with ActivityPub. It takes care of the annoying protocol parts: WebFinger, HTTP Signatures, inboxes, outboxes, and NodeInfo. Ghost uses it for their fediverse integration, and the work is backed by the @sovtechfund.

They should make Thib but not stupid.

#DuckDuckFedi What is most likely the thing that's going wrong with my monitor? And it fine to just keep using it until the (backlight?) fully breaks and then send it off for repair or try and repair it? Or should I fix it before it shits itself because it'll damage stuff or something?

They sent me an email saying that 10 other connections have already played these puzzle games.... on linkedin... Is linkedin just Facebook from 10+ years ago? What is happening? Are the vibe coders at microslop that relaxed they just spend time on whatever now?
