IF YOU WANT THE SACRED ASHES, BEST GET OUT THOSE SACRED ASSES 馃崙馃檹馃崙馃檹馃崙
Remember that time in Dragon Age Origins where you canonically have to get naked to get to the ashes of Andraste? I remember that time.
This is from my upcoming Dragon Age animation project!
[Video description under the cut. Other image descriptions are in alt-text.]

WAKE UP, OLD MAN, I TOOK MY CLOTHES OFF FOR THIS
Video description: A series of digital illustrations animating characters from the game dragon age origins, including the warden character, who in this case is a handsome chubby Dwarven man with face tattoos, short hair, and no beard. First, a close up on an intricate urn containing the sacred ashes of Andraste. Then it cuts to the warden looking serious, squinting down at carved stone writing on a pedestal. behind him, Alistair holds his shield and looks similarly heroically determined. they are both in full armor. the characters remain in the same position but their facial expressions change. The warden's eyes go wide And a blush appears on his cheeks. He knits his brow with a tiny little frown of mortification. behind him, Alistair looks confused at The sudden change. The warden blushes even harder as he glances back towards Alistair, not moving in the slightest, but sweating a little. Alistair looks even more confused and concerned. The shot zooms in on the wardens face. The scene cuts to a close up of the warden staring straight ahead, lips pursed in a cartoonish embarrassed expression that reads like he cannot believe this is happening. there's a deep blush on his face, and he's not wearing a shirt. Without his shirt, his body tattoos are visible. The shot zooms out to reveal Alistair standing next to the warden in front of the sacred urn. They both appear to be naked and reaching down to hide their genitals from view. The warden's large soft chest squishes together as he does so. Alistair is looking up and away, His lips similarly pursed, sweating profusely. not only is he blushing on his face, but splotches of pink cover all visible parts of his body. he is very muscular, and he has a slight bit of chest hair. The audio is a clip from An instrumental version of the song "Little Lion Man" by Mumford and Sons.

From a text my wife sent me. I don't know what news outlet she got the headline from, but the point is that ruthlessly min-maxing for profit and secrecy makes bad art, and also my wife is hilarious.
Listen, what's more important? Making a GOOD story, or making sure no one can PREDICT your story??? After all, no one could have predicted the end of Game of Thrones! And people LOVED that . . . 馃憖馃憖馃憖
#original#alt-text#image description in alt#avengers#mcu#marvel#the thunderbolts#thunderbolts#avengers doomsday#I LOVE MY WIFE#I forget what franchise I was learning about recently where the plot was changed because some executive discovered like a Reddit#thread where someone had guessed the plot and so it was replaced with something SIGNIFICANTLY worse#despite the fact that if you structure your story well and you have a million+ person audience obviously someone's going to guess the plot!#you know what I think it was Star Wars. I think this is one of the things that happened with The Last Jedi which everyone fucking hated#they like read a bunch of complaints about the previous movie on Reddit and tried to cater to that crowd apparently#which is an utterly wild way to make a movie.#also I looked up other instances of this happening and apparently Westworld did this and people really didn't like the result#if you set up a mystery in your story and literally no one can guess it I think you did a bad job actually#like if I'm watching a murder mystery trying to guess who the murderer is based on the information given it's not a better story if#actually the perpetrator was a clown never before mentioned in the story based on evidence we didn't get to see! it would be surprising!#but it would also be deeply disappointing and annoying! spontaneous combustion is surprising too! but doesn't mean it's a good plot beat!

12. Februar 2024
Wir werden also 5300 Bildbeschreibungen schreiben m眉ssen
Bei der Vorbereitung der diesj盲hrigen Techniktagebuch-als-Buch-Ausgabe z盲hle ich zum ersten Mal durch: Das Techniktagebuch enth盲lt rund 5600 Bilder. Davon haben 300 eine Bildbeschreibung, die von Screenreadern vorgelesen werden kann. Bei 4700 steht im alt-Tag nur "image" und bei den dann noch fehlenden 600 vermutlich nicht mal das.
Ich habe so was 脛hnliches erwartet, denn in den ersten sieben bis acht Jahren des Techniktagebuchs haben wir uns fast gar nicht um Bildbeschreibungstexte gek眉mmert. Schwache Entschuldigung: Der alte Tumblr-Editor machte einem das nicht so leicht, man musste die Bildbeschreibungen von Hand in der HTML-Ansicht des Beitrags einbauen. Wenn etwas so umst盲ndlich ist, suggeriert das auch, dass es eh nicht so wichtig sein kann. Aber eigentlich h盲tten wir es besser wissen m眉ssen.
Ich wei脽 nicht, was bei den anderen Autor*innen des Techniktagebuchs die Gr眉nde waren. Ich selbst bin vor allem deshalb nicht fr眉her auf die Idee gekommen, weil ich erst seit wenigen Jahren selbst (fr眉her bei Twitter, jetzt bei Mastodon) oft Bildbeschreibungen sehe. Dabei habe ich gemerkt, dass es erstens viele Menschen gibt, die sie sich w眉nschen und man sie zweitens auch als sehender Mensch gut brauchen kann, zum Beispiel wenn ich nicht verstehe, was auf einem Bild zu sehen ist. Oder wenn der Text auf einem Bild in der Ansicht auf dem Handy unlesbar klein ist (so wie in den Screenshots in diesem Beitrag hier). Oder wenn ich Hintergrundinformationen brauche, weil ich wegen meiner Prosopagnosie oder aus Ahnungslosigkeit abgebildete Personen nicht erkenne. Oder wenn ich mit dem Zug durch eine Funklochregion fahre und statt der Bilder nur die Bildbeschreibungen zu sehen bekomme.
Ich habe mit einem ung眉nstigen Verh盲ltnis von Beschreibung zu Keine-Beschreibung gerechnet, aber dass dem Techniktagebuch so viele Beschreibungstexte fehlen, 眉berrascht mich doch. Und es bedeutet, dass es sehr lange dauern wird, die Bildbeschreibungen nachtr盲glich einzubauen. Da die Beitr盲ge, die im alten Tumblr-Editor (vor 2023) geschrieben wurden, nur in diesem Editor bearbeitet werden k枚nnen, hei脽t das, dass wir dazu jeden Beitrag 枚ffnen, in die HTML-Ansicht umschalten und das alt-Tag mit der Bildbeschreibung an der richtigen Stelle einf眉gen m眉ssen. W盲hrend man das Bild dann beschreibt, kann man es nicht sehen. Das ist im neuen Tumblr-Editor sogar genauso, denn da 眉berlagert das Eingabefeld unpraktischerweise das Bild. Man braucht also in jedem Fall einen Second Screen, auf dem das Bild zu sehen ist. Ich mache das mit dem Handy.
Wegen dieser Umst盲ndlichkeit, und weil in letzter Zeit 眉berall von gro脽en Fortschritten in der Bildbeschreibung mit Hilfe von Bildanalyse und gro脽en Sprachmodellen zu lesen ist, probiere ich heute mehrere Tools aus, mit denen das angeblich automatisch geht. Ich habe nicht aufw盲ndig recherchiert, welche man da nimmt, es sind einfach die ersten paar Googletreffer zu dem Thema.
Ich teste mit dem als Letztes im Techniktagebuch verwendeten Bild aus diesem Beitrag von Oliver Laumann.

Oliver hat dazu die folgende Bildbeschreibung verfasst:
"Vierfarbkugelschreiber in Originalverpackung, R眉ckseite einer Postkarte mit dem Text 'Ich hab die Originalminen dringelassen, weil Original, aber hier sind neue. Gr眉脽e, Kathrin', kleiner Zip-Lock-Beutel mit vier verschiedenfarbigen Kugelschreiberminen".
Es ist sicher nicht ganz einfach, dieses Bild hilfreich und korrekt zu beschreiben, wenn man nicht Oliver Laumann ist, sondern eine Maschine. Aber die Schwierigkeit der Aufgabe scheint mir einigerma脽en repr盲sentativ f眉r die 眉brigen Bilder im Techniktagebuch.
Beim "Free AI Image Alt Text Generator" kann ich zwischen mehreren Sprachen ausw盲hlen:
Au脽erdem gibt es verschiedene Beschreibungsstile:
Ich w盲hle "Casual". Das Ergebnis ist wenig hilfreich:
Im Stil "Academic" wird es nicht besser:
Auch die anderen Beschreibungsstile f眉hren nur zu minimalen Variationen von "Irgendwas mit Farbstiften, perfekt f眉r kreative Projekte!"
Der "AI Alt Text Generator" bietet mir in der Testversion keine Sprachauswahl an und schl盲gt vor: "A package of colored pencils with a note on it." Immerhin ist die handschriftliche Notiz hier erkannt worden. Zum Verst盲ndnis des Beitrags tr盲gt die Beschreibung aber nichts bei.
Der "Alt Text Generator" meint: "a box of pens and a package of paper".
Einige andere Tools verwenden offenbar intern die gleiche Technik und sagen ebenfalls "a box of pens and a package of paper".
Ich halte es f眉r m枚glich, dass es kostenpflichtige Angebote gibt, die bessere Bildbeschreibungen erzeugen, finde aber im Rahmen meiner Suchgeduld nicht zu einer M枚glichkeit, das gratis auszuprobieren. Und ich habe keine Lust, erst einen Testaccount anzulegen, nur um dann herauszufinden, dass die es auch nicht k枚nnen.
Vielleicht sind Bildbeschreibungen nur eine Br眉ckentechnologie, und bald werden Screenreader die Bilder selbst erkennen und beschreiben k枚nnen. Hier denke ich mal einen Gedanken, denn ich eher selten denke, n盲mlich: Bildbeschreibung von einem Menschen, bevorzugt einem mit Wissen 眉ber das Bild, das nicht im Bild enthalten ist, wird immer besser bleiben als automatisch erzeugte Beschreibung. Gleichzeitig misstraue ich diesem Gedanken aus Prinzip, weil "Irgendeine Technik wird irgendwas niemals so gut k枚nnen wie ein Mensch" eine Aussage ist, mit der man historisch oft unrecht hat. Zusammengefasst: Ich habe keine Ahnung. Aber diese Ahnungslosigkeit von 2024 ist hiermit festgehalten.
Jedenfalls werden wir 5600 Beschreibungen selbst ausdenken und einbauen m眉ssen. Das klappt f眉r die diesj盲hrige Buchausgabe nicht mehr. Aber das Techniktagebuch ist ja ein Langzeitprojekt.
(Kathrin Passig)

Those graphic is so good. Another trick is to imagine how you would describe this image to your friend on the phone. You have some purpose in wanting your friend to understand this image, and you also don't want to get bogged down in so many details that you lose the point.
(As the graphic indicates, do describe color. Blindness is a broad spectrum. Blind people may have limited sight and see colors, or they had sight at one point. Even people totally blind since birth learn what colors things are and what the cultural associations with those colors are.)
yknow i never noticed the sheer rareness of images having ids or alt text on this website until i started adding alt text to my art (and trying to remember to add it to any images i post in general, especially text screenshots) and that makes me kinda sad
