So, this cookie alert on theverge.com is both refreshingly honest and depressingly disturbing

A cookie notice that seeks permission to share your details with “848 of our partners” and “actively scan device details for identification”.

I mean this is literally the purpose of alt text, so that you can share an image and its description (which in this case should contain all the text from the image) and screen readers can do their thing.

I actually didn’t realize their was support for alt-text. The clients I’ve used the few times when I’ve posted images … I don’t recall even prompting for alt text.

Even without direct support for alt text, you can achieve the same result by posting it all in the post body.
