I saw two posts today both identical with the image. One had alt-text the other did not. Guess which one got boosted by me?

Apparently according to the post office, Nepean is not a part of Ottawa. (I'm waiting for a parcel)

I had given up on pleading for more alt-text but I'll try again!

Please add alt-text to your photos/pictures it only takes a minute and does not have to be fancy. My policy is not to boost images without alt-text and I am not the only one.

This is one of the cultural things I like about Mastodon, the inclusiveness. Please don't ruin it.

I hope Mr. Beige pants chokes at his breakfast. I have no idea what it is about him but I despise him. I don't hate people as it's a waste of time. But some I just look at like a piece of doggy doo-doo on the road.

This is one of (many) lessons I learned, way back when, from Brian Kernighan. His approach: first, get it right (my phrasing: there's no benefit to doing the wrong thing thing quickly); second, measure, because your guesses about bottlenecks are almost certainly wrong; third, optimize.
