capjamesg The IndieWeb was mentioned in Sara Joy's State of the Browser talk in London about whimsy and accessiblility on the web this weekend:
#
capjamesg Slides are on her website at https://slides.sarajoy.dev/whimsica11y-sotb2025/
#
[tantek] Amazing!
#
[tantek] Good slides too.
#
[tantek] What is delight?
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "delight" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "delight is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[tantek] What is joy?
#
Loqi joy is a good motivator and focus for making things for your own website, and is something the IndieWeb community encourages people to prioritize and pursue with their IndieWeb projects, and deprioritize (or automate) things that do not bring them joy https://indieweb.org/joy
#
[tantek] delight is /joy
#
Loqi ok
#
capjamesg It was a great talk.

[tantek] joy << 2025 State of the Browser talk by Sara Joy: [https://slides.sarajoy.dev/whimsica11y-sotb2025/ Whimsica11y: Whimsic Accessibility - bringing the joy and whimsy to *everyone*]
#
Loqi ok, I added "2025 State of the Browser talk by Sara Joy: [https://slides.sarajoy.dev/whimsica11y-sotb2025/ Whimsica11y: Whimsic Accessibility - bringing the joy and whimsy to *everyone*]" to the "See Also" section of /joy https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=100672&oldid=91608

[KevinMarks]1 By turning on 'force alt text' on bsky and mastodon, I have been learning to write alt text even for visual jokes where you don't naively describe the visual image but just the bits that make the joke work, and pace it like a spoken joke
[aciccarello] joined the channel
#
[aciccarello] I think that's the biggest mind shift when writing alt text. When I first started, I only looked at the content, but the context and vibe are almost more important.
nemonical joined the channel
#
[aciccarello] Also why attaching alt text to an image database and using that everywhere isn't the best. One use of an image could be communicating something very different than another.
#
[tantek] could be yeah. I still like the analogy of describing an image/photo to someone over the phone
barnaby joined the channel
#
[KevinMarks]1 for example, the alt text here is not what I would use for either portrait in isolation https://bsky.app/profile/kevinmarks.com/post/3lfcxs2g4b22i
#
[KevinMarks]1 Or in this case where the point is to describe why the actor looks like Doctor Who https://bsky.app/profile/kevinmarks.com/post/3lkpzctabwk2n
