And please remember, if you didn't provide an image description & someone replies to your post with one of their own, they are not attacking you & they are not trying to show you up or make you look bad (or at least they shouldn't be).
When someone offers you an image description for something you post, they are saying that they see value in what you posted & want more people to be able to interact with it.
So don't take offense—it's a good thing!
@artemis I post alt text a lot, I really hope I haven't upset any people doing it

Fortunately most people don't take offense, & it is really helpful for an accessible Fedi! -

@artemis Social media should show counters for how many times the alt text was looked at.
I try to add it to all/most of the images I post. But it has 0 visible payoff for me.
Am I writing it for it to disappear into the aether with no mortal eye ever having seen it? Or is it actually useful?
I know the answers are no and yes respectively, but it doesn't feel like it.

There are more blind/low vision people on fedi than corporate social media, in my experience, not to mention all the other people who use alt text for whatever reason.
If you're posting it, there's a really good shot it's being seen and appreciated by someone. I know I always appreciate it when I see it. -

@artemis So far, folk have been great when I reply with alt text. They usually thank me and add it in. :)

As someone with ADHD I sometimes start something online, get distracted, and then when I comeback to it forget to add the alt text... so I would never take offence when someone adds an alt text, in fact I appreciate it

I did ask 2 years ago: https://fosstodon.org/@diondokter/109947325125137824
Not a really satisfying answer...

@RantingCanuck @staringatclouds @artemis thanks for sharing that. I do sometimes boost without alt text and add my own, most people either ignore it or thank me but I have had one person be a bit shirty so it's good to hear it's appreciated!

@artemis I wish this were more broadly known—if I notice missing alt-text (or rubbish/generic/AI-generated alt-text) on something I want to share, I'll provide better alt-text first as a follow-up comment.
I wish there was a better way to do this in a clear "I'm trying to be helpful, not attack what you posted" way. 😞

Part of it (for me) is the satisfaction of just doing it correctly. So that means that even when I'm sending an image via DMs to someone who I know is sighted, I still include alt-text on the image. Maybe they don't get my humor or what I was trying to draw attention to and the alt-text helps them. Maybe there's a network glitch and the image doesn't actually load. So it feels a bit weird in those cases, but I still do it :)

@artemis This also applies to spelling and grammar. :)

@betelgeuse93 @fucinafibonacci @giochi Mi sono chiesto la stessa cosa su che cosa centrano gli Svedesi, che stanno dall'altra parte dell'oceano, sul fatto che una fetta di americani è schizzata di testa.
Ma se non ci tiravano fuori la sviolinata non sapevano come farci un articolo. 😏Cmq si per Crusader king...

After deep thinking, I've designed a satisfying solution and broke it down into 4 issues:
Annotations system (#83): Low-level primitive that allows passing runtime context to parsers via parse() options
SourceContext interface (#85): High-level system for composing multiple data sources (env, config, etc.) with clear priority ordering via runWith()
@optique/config (#84): Configuration file support with Standard Schema validation (Zod, Valibot, etc.)
@optique/env (#86): Environment variables support with automatic type conversion
The key insight: use a two-pass parsing approach where the first pass extracts the config file path, then the second pass runs with config data injected as annotations. All sources can be composed together with runWith([envContext, configContext]) for automatic priority handling: CLI > environment variables > configuration file > default values.
