mildly annoyed today at tumblr and twitter methods of indicating that there is alt text for an image by putting an "ALT" label in the corner of the image so depending on what size screen youre using (phones especially) and the size of the image, that little label won't scale appropriately so i cant see/read the text on the image anyway because that label usually covers a necessary 5-10% of it.

im not disparaging the idea of alt text but it feels ironic that an accessibility aid makes it less accessible to someone like me that doesnt need that particular aid.



i seem to be running into the problem lately with websites i visit on my phone that my phone screen is too small. i have an iphone 2020 SE, it's literally one of the smaller iphone types because i have small hands and i prefer a phone with a home button on it and im not one of those people that update my phone all that often. i've only had 5 cell phones over the entire course of my life, that number including ones that weren't smartphones.

notification pop ups about what cookies are being tracked with a button at the bottom, terms of service text i have to accept, or other "fullscreen" bodies of text are often offscreen for me these days and i can't scroll to whatever i need to look at or zoom out because the developers of whatever thing i'm using consider the smallest viable screen is about 200-400 pixels larger than what my screen is capable of displaying (so i end up accidentally refreshing the page and just staring at the same wall of text again). this is still a fairly "new" phone, it's running on semi-latest version, i had the battery replaced a few months ago, it's a perfectly good smartphone device, but i guess an "average" user is not using a phone at this display size.

i guess that's the nature of software/website development though, smartly building for the most middle of the ground specs/requirements because then you don't have to make that many versions or adjustments for every single possible piece of hardware, firmware, or software that interacts with whatever you're making.

i wouldn't be here if i weren't trying to access your website though. it'd accept your shitty cookies policy but you can't even give me that.
