Me too. Which is somewhat ironic, considering the amount of Leave voters who wanted to “go back to the good old days”…
The past is a foreign country; since Brexit I increasingly want to live there.

If you don't put attach alt text (descriptive text) to your images you will likely be unfollowed.

I'm sorry - are we just allowed to set up companies that aren't legally affordable? What are you? Thames Water? If you can't pay for what you use, you don't get to use it. You get to make money off the back of the work of people whom you don't pay? Get absolutely fucked. Go disrupt your own anus.
OpenAI is begging the British Parliament to allow it to use copyrighted works because it's supposedly "impossible" for the company to train its artificial intelligence models — and continue growing its multi-billion-dollar business — without them. futurism.com/the-byte/ope...

Has anyone else seen the new Fury vs Usyk promo and realised the creative was definitely a casualty of “Come to Daddy” by Aphex Twin?

What I will say, though, is if you’re posting about Chris McCausland’s win, and you include pictures without alt text, then is there actually any point and have you learned anything over the last few months?

What he did was twisted and evil. It’s completely acceptable however for a 16 year old to join the US army and kill people to defend an oil rig in Syria. Dont argue with me about it please, you’ll hurt my sense of identity which I have based on a centrist worldview

From here on out, it’s no longer called an “everything shower”. It should be known henceforth as a “Bret Hart Shower”

It’s really not, especially when you can click on the image and the alt text is on screen.
Also, stop giving Him Indoors ideas that he could be a secret agent. He’s a 6 foot large man with a ginger beard, a man bun and a gloriously loud laugh. He does not do inconspicuous.

I’m convinced ALT texts are ciphered messages. Spies are feeding information to one another right before our very eyes.

Possibly equal only to knowing which exit your blind partner has used at a complicated station when they phone you up in a panic because “things don’t sound right”, and you can navigate them back to where they should be without a video call.
