@futzle We mostly don't need to boil a couple of cups of water though. :) It's not something I ever felt was missing from my life there.

I’m trying to figure out what works better for alt text accessibility in practice — please reply ONLY if you ever actually use text-to-speech, braille interfaces, or anything similar for accessing the alt text of images.@0xabad1dea Different screenreaders work differently, but if you can include the characters it's best to do so. Mine usually skip symbols they don't recognize (really annoying as a linguistics student!).
But if a summary would be sufficient ("it's a poem about birds" or "it's the name of this person" or whatever) because you're actually sharing the image to talk about the quality of the brushstrokes or the color or whatever, that's fine too.
