Real hacker.
77-year-old Carl Gunn legally blocks a Flock license plate camera in St. Petersburg, Florida, by sitting on a public sidewalk and holding a 12-foot pool skimmer pole with a “DOWN WITH FLOCK CAMERAS” sign. Because he remains on public property and never touches the equipment, police confirmed his protest is lawful. #flock
@baskin Alt text: photo of the man described in the post doing what he’s described as doing in the post.
@aral Okay but say I'm using a screen reader. I don't know if it's a photo of the act being described. It could be some other supporting image, like "Down with Flock!" or something, or a meme. It could be a photo of something related, like police harrassing him. The point is @baskin should really have added alt text.
@thejessiekirk @baskin That was me providing alt text that poster could edit the post to include on their image to address exactly the point you’re making.
@thejessiekirk @aral @baskin It seems that the mighty Baskin is above adding alt text. It's always nice to find admins who can't be bothered to be inclusive. That'll be yet another blocked domain then.
@RosePuckey @thejessiekirk @baskin Let’s not read intent from and jump to conclusions over a single post. Everyone can forget to add alt text. If you see a post without it and have the time, just provide it (or tag one of the alt-text bots). Also remember that for some people with disabilities it is extremely onerous to write alt text. So let’s help if we can but I don’t think blocking a domain is a proportionate response.
