ALT text copied and pasted from the linked website: An infographic titled βHow To Write Alt Textβ featuring a photo of a capybara. Parts of alt text are divided by color, including identify who, expression, description, colour, and interesting features. The finished description reads βA capybara looking relaxed in a hot spa. Yellow yuzu fruits are floating in the water, and one is balanced on the top of the capybaraβs head.β
Posting this again because a lot of people said they found it helpful! Guide to ALT text: www.perkins.org/resource/how...

I'm not sure how much more evidence school administrators and teachers need before they put a stop to socializing children into lifelong Google customers and users of Gemini, but I sure hope that day arrives sooner rather than later.

Apple is adding video support to its podcasting apps β thatβs great. But the way itβs doing so might jeopardize the openness thatβs kept podcasting from getting enshittified like every other form of media. Itβs not too late for them to fix this. anildash.com/2026/02/28/a...

I've joined the Green Party. I'm sick of Labour betraying everything they're meant to stand for. The Green Party is now a serious political force, and is the best chance of defeating Reform by offering a genuine alternative to the rotten politics of the mainstream parties. join.greenparty.org.uk
