    Needs text alternative.

    Images of text break much that text alternatives do not. Losses due to image of text lacking alternative:

    • usability
      • we can’t quote the text without pointless bullshit like retyping it or OCR
      • text search is unavailable
      • the system can’t
        • reflow text to varied screen sizes
        • vary presentation (size, contrast)
        • vary modality (audio, braille)
    • accessibility
      • lacks semantic structure (tags for titles, heading levels, sections, paragraphs, lists, emphasis, code, links, accessibility features, etc)
      • some users can’t read this due to lack of alt text
      • users can’t adapt the text for dyslexia or vision impairments
      • systems can’t read the text to them or send it to braille devices
    • searchability: the “text” isn’t indexable by search engine in a meaningful way
    • fault tolerance: no text fallback if
      • image breaks
      • image host is geoblocked due to insane regulations.

    Contrary to age & humble appearance, text is an advanced technology that provides all these capabilities absent from images.

    another case of willful ignorance of meanings of words & political science

    not providing alt text is right wing

    Due to a proposition of the philosophy: the sanctity of private property rights.

    Was answered with

    What do we call a philosophy that accepts the core propositions without the elements you object to? Liberal: your objected elements aren’t essential to the philosophy.

    and counterexample of liberal socialism.

    And no, there is no private property under socialism, you’re thinking of personal property.

    Contradiction: personal property is private, ie, owned by non-governmental entities per conventional definition. I already wrote about “personal property” & "means of production”.

    Owning certain items is illegal even in the US[1], yet people have private property rights. Prohibiting ownership of some things doesn’t prohibit the right to have property.

    fucking Proudhon

    Don’t know, not critical to the argument. The fact remains the core propositions of liberalism & socialism can be combined without conflict, and liberalism isn’t an economic philosophy.

    You never stated your disagreement with the core propositions I had identified.

    China at least is fucking big

    That doesn’t explain the other communist states or excuse the failure to meet the main outcome & whole reason for existing. All countries have developed & underdeveloped regions. Same excuse would apply to liberal democracies with lower economic inequality, yet they don’t need it.

    social democracy in Scandinavia is currently being peeled off by the far right

    Again

    The actions of governments don’t necessarily follow from a philosophy they may fail to track.

    Lapses from a philosophy don’t inform us about the propositions of that philosophy. Are liberalism & socialism consistent together? Philosophies combining both exist.

    Could you point out which of the core propositions I identified are incompatible with socialism?


    1. those items may either not be legal property, be restricted, be public domain, or simply be illegal to possess ↩︎
