     Hey!

     Absolutely will do in the future. Our apologies.

     For the record, the photo in the prior post shows Jeri, a lady with red hair and wearing a T-shirt, holding one of her inventions: a retro-looking game console, with an embedded hi-res 5 inch screen.

     @kde Hi there! I'm a #blind #screenreader user.Have you considered adding descriptions to your images? It can be helpful not just for #VI people like me but also for #autistic folks who sometimes find the context helpful, and for anyone with a low bandwidth connection or strict dataplan who doesn't want to load the images.Some instances offer automatic #OCR which can help grab any text in your image, though proofreading is still important. You can also follow @PleaseCaption to be reminded when ever you post an image without captioning it.And don't worry, a highly detailed description or fancy writing, while always nice, is definitely not required. Something is nearly always better than nothing when it comes to alt text.Thank you for reading. :)#captionyourimages #a11y #accessibility#kde
