C’est juste histoire de tailler la route et de voir le temps qu’il fait. N’empêche que la saison hivernale n’est pas la plus facile à passer. Le froid. La pluie. Le vent de face. Sur les routes le vélo ramasse tout le temps des saletés.

Finished work for today. Now as a reward I get to play a little #Enshrouded
I love this game. It's got all my favourite features from some of my most liked games all rolled up into one.
it's got bits of #Valheim and bits of #Ark and bits of many other games.
I can't say I've mastered it but it's certainly fun.
Obligatory screenies follow :D
More info in the #Descriptions / #AltText
I wish to begin this by saying that nothing can replace the wonderful consideration of people adding alt text to their images. It is very much appreciated, and I thank you for doing it. But for those images without said descriptions, I found something truly useful. It's called AltBot, and it adds alt text to posts without descriptions. I just followed it a few hours ago. On TweeseCake, at least, you'll hear something like "image with no description", and when you go to the next post, you'll hear the bot's explanation of the image. If you wish to folow Altbot, it can be found at altbot@fuzzies.wtf. I don't know who created it, but I sincerely thank whoever did. If only such a lovely bot could work on all sites.

I was also able to easily identify and manipulate the temperature controls in the room. In the absence of human assistance, this was a great way to get what I needed.
There were a couple of instances when the #LLM just made up things that weren't there in the room.

#Photo #descriptions are becoming essential when I'm traveling for instance. While in a hotel I used to have to rely on a human to distinguish between various shampoo/conditioner/ soap bottles, something insignificant for most people but rather frustrating for someone like me. I was able to take a quick photo and get those bottles identified while traveling this weekend. Getting a general description and queering for details got me information that I wouldn't have just by touch.
For this experiment, I asked several friends to send me photos and share #descriptions with me.
To give you one example, I was sent a photo of a table surface with a small coffee pot and a cup of coffee with foam on top. The table also had a plate of cookies, muffins, and croissants.
The #AI description described the drink in the coffee cup as a yogurt-based concoction. It also missed the cookies on the plate.
This is not to suggest that automatic descriptions aren't useful. Several tools available to #blind people are now capable of providing a good idea of the contents of photos when no descriptions are available. Apps and hardware are able to analyze photos and videos for quick access to the environment when this wasn't possible short time ago.
Even though these tools exist, automatic #descriptions should not be a substitute for alt text.
Thread:
I've conducted several informal experiments over the last few weeks about alt text for #photos as described by humans and as provided by #AI systems.
#LLMS, despite providing plethora of details when describing images, still miss the nuances of what the photos contain. Human #descriptions certainly continue to be better at conveying context.
When it comes to #photo descriptions, llava-v1.6-34b is quite good now. It used to have a lot of issues. It's processing has tgotten faster and the descriptions it provides for photos is quite good even compared to some others like BingAI. It seems like #Gemini is a joke right now for this purpose.
Go here to try it if you haven't. Queery the chat bot about a deatailed description after uploading the photo.
I'm sorry. But, if I found you on the Mastodons after discovering that you post lovely photos with descriptions and now no longer do so or boost too many photos without descriptions, I regret that I'll unfollow you.

to my #Blind friends, any idea on where to put #Image #Descriptions so it will stay with the file and not with the phone only? Since we already have this #AI things already, i wanted to organize my photos. I have an android phone and a computer. Thanks! #Blindness #Accessibility #Photo
#Iowa #LGBTQ #students file #lawsuit over new #state #law.
The #ACLU of Iowa joined two #lawfirms in filing a #lawsuit challenging #Iowa #SF496, which #prohibits the #instruction of #genderidentity and #sexualorientation through sixth grade, #prohibits #books with #descriptions of #sex #acts and #requires #parentalnotification when a K-12 student wants to be referred to by a different #pronoun or #name in school.
IN case you didn't know, Google's Lookout app is now updated. It will provide better #photo #descriptions and will be able to anser questions based on photos. The updated app may only be available for Pixel phones for now. I'm not sure about this particular fact though.
A note from a relatively old-hand at the #SocialMedia game- I may not be an expert but I know my way around it alright.
If you want to build a network, it *really* helps to:
Write a bio- even just a few things about what you like and stand for. Be bold- putting out the MOST likely things to chase away people you DON'T want around.
Use #ALTText for your pics- image #descriptions. This lets many MORE people experience your pics and can let you put in important context like WHAT the pic is.
So. It seems like those people who complain about being forced to write #photo #descriptions (i.e.,, complaints about being nagged about #AltText) will like Threads since you can't add alt texst on photos in the #iOS app. Congratulations. Meta has started a new Twitter with basic functionality missing. The app is also not optimized for navigation. It is almost accessible with a very few minor inaccessible things.
That's something, I suppose.
@Mayana I LOVE #ALTText, even though it's not a necessity for me. I have always tried to keep it as vibrant and thorough as possible, saving my #descriptions in files for repeated use- one file for merch, one for selfies, and one for miscellaneous stuff like my logos and screenshots.
I've worked with the #disabled community for a long time- #inclusion is one of my core interests and callings.
I've had a lot of new followers in the last few days. Welcome all. I have my intro pinned.
Please add your bio/intro to your profile. It helps with filtering out potential #spam bots.
I boost quite a few things here. Feel free to mute those boosts if you are overwelmed. It's one of the ways to discover other people and content.
I boost content that has photos with description. I'm #blind so rely on those #descriptions.
Enjoy this place. Great for convos.
