Finally some good news from the film industry.

[A picture of a dog/wolf looking back with the dail hanging down, looking kind of mean]

Maybe not mind-blowing, but sometimes dogs/wolves in movies need CGI tails if they're supposed to be acting mean bc they're so excited to be doing a good job acting that their tails can't stop wagging.

Someone needs to make a bot that can transcribe with optical character recognition to transcribe posts that humans can't reach

Maybe yeah, but it's quite hard to get something that consistently works, we used to do it by hand on reddit as well, when we get enough people doing it it's pretty nice :)

is there a formal syntax for image transcription that screen readers can read ?

Is there an alt text option like in mastodon/calckey? I know that's considered basically compulsory for people posting images on there

I had forgotten about that but I think there is but a bot that can transcribe text from ocr would be a great thing for people who don't add it to their images

I feel like this gave me a false impression of how much dogs wag their tails. Now I have a dog and the walls have many bruises

Dogs are pretty much perpetually happy, or asleep. They seem to only have two modes, off and OMG best day ever!

I tapped on the header in the image 3 times before I realized. Just like yesterday when my s.o. showed me her phone and asked something about a post - from fb I think.

Her:"What does this mean?" Me: taps link Her: "it's a picture" Me: * Me: taps link Her: "it's a picture" Me: * Me: ...oh

Sadly, I think it took me 3 times then as well, even with the helpful commentary
