      And I need to stress, neither of them had shit to say about NYC chanting (rightfully, imo) for Noem to hang. 🤷🏽‍♂️

        Learn to link to sources unless you're ready to provide a redundant text alternative: you screenshot is inaccessible.

        Images of text break much that text alternatives do not. Losses due to image of text lacking alternative such as link:

        • usability
          • we can’t quote the text without pointless bullshit like retyping it or OCR
          • text search is unavailable
          • the system can’t
            • reflow text to varied screen sizes
            • vary presentation (size, contrast)
            • vary modality (audio, braille)
        • accessibility
          • lacks semantic structure (tags for titles, heading levels, sections, paragraphs, lists, emphasis, code, links, accessibility features, etc)
          • some users can’t read the image due to lack of alt text (markdown image description)
          • users can’t adapt the text for dyslexia or vision impairments
          • systems can’t read the text to them or send it to braille devices
        • web connectivity
          • we have to do failure-prone bullshit to find the original source
          • we can’t explore wider context of the original message
        • authenticity: we don’t know the image hasn’t been tampered
        • searchability: the “text” isn’t indexable by search engine in a meaningful way
        • fault tolerance: no text fallback if
          • image breaks
          • image host is geoblocked due to insane regulations.

        Contrary to age & humble appearance, text is an advanced technology that provides all these capabilities absent from images.

        Referring to objections to Hamas as “PR campaigns for an illegal land sale” or a blanket condemnation of “pro Palestine protests” is an obvious strawman fallacy & you know that. Work on your integrity & be less cartoonishly dishonest.
