no one is home so i'm cranking it up and ... uh oh ... that sounds BAD. do i need new speakers? sob! i've had these fishers since 1986. I don't think they were anything special back then, but they have grown on me. and oh no, new speakers are expensive.
oh wait the balance settings all screwed up here just a sec
and
ok everything is fine. phew.
my stereo is ok — just ok — but i don't care because all i do is play scratchy old LPs anyway.
@peterhoneyman the alt text for this image blows my mind, I'm assuming that's AI-generated. Is that part of the Ivory app you're using, or native Mastodon, or what?
I started using one LLM or another to generate a first-draft photo ALT when I saw what great job they do. Way better than I have the patience for! And I love the way they toss compliments at me (a well-read and eclectic reader, ha ha!)
(It seems to me that LLMs obviate (or moderate, anyway) the moral urgency to ALT photos.)
@peterhoneyman @samfirke You need to step it up like @chippets and request captions "in the style of poet ABC"
I so much appreciate this post.
