Thank you for your understanding.)
Hello. Georgiana Brummell is not my legal name, but it is what I prefer to be called. I chose it in honour of Beau Brummell. I live in New Jersey and am forty-one years old. Some of my interests include studying dandyism, nineteenth-century grammar, Upper Received Pronunciation, British history, and the Regency. I like coffee, tea, wine, nasal snuff, cooking, hot baths, reading British literature, nature and historical documentaries, old BBC radio shows, gardening, hot weather, and playing cards and dice. I also love cats. In classical music, I enjoy Baroque through a bit of early Romantic, while in popular, I usually prefer 1950's through 1970's. I love theatre (especially English and Viennese operettas, Edwardian musical comedies), and some Regency/Georgian plays. I am starting to learn about opera, with my main focus being singers from the 1940's and earlier, due to the change in singing style that began roughly in the 1950's. I prefer antique menswear and accessories. It's my dream to either buy a genuine Edwardian suit or have one commissioned. I love wit, wordplay, and dry humour without vulgarity. My parents are lesbians, and I am a gay rights supporter. I have been totally blind since I was two months old, due to Retinopathy of Prematurity. I am happily childfree and am not religious. My main goal in life is simply to enjoy it, and have fun learning new things along the way. I am also single and searching. If you are or know a genuine dandy, or at least, a single, childfree, intelligent, well-dressed man, preferably over sixty, please tell him about me.
Please note. I don't write about American politics, race, anticapitalism or world affairs (wars, poverty, oppression, etc.), and will not add those who do, as I don't want it filling my timelines. While I am interested in technology to an extent (particularly website accessibility), I am not a programmer or gamer, do not use Linux,and don't care what social network you use. I tend to get along better with people much older than I, but I will accept friends twenty-one and over. I have no understanding of chronic illness, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, loneliness, etc. so if you need help with that, I'm not the one to ask. I enjoy hearing about cats, cooking or gardening adventures, animals and nature, antiques, and interesting facts and life stories.

in reply to Georgiana Brummell • •@Ⓜ3️⃣3️⃣ 🌌 @Georgiana Brummell I assume that the alt-text is read when the screen reader gets to an image,
and that it says nothing at all if there's no alt-text
(and I have no idea if there's a difference between alt-text and title-text, because both exist in HTML coding
Ok, I looked it up:
Alt-text is for when an image isn't shown - be it someone who's turned off images, someone who isn't able to see images, or images that doesn't load e.g. due to a bad/slow connection.
Title-text is what can be seen when hovering over an image, i.e. not for the visually impaired.
→ alt-text it is, then!
But I think alt-text is also shown "when mouse-hovering", if there's no title-text.
so, on to the tests:

When I choose Preview, and hover over the images, both give me the "from Wikipedia"-text. No idea where the title text ends up. 😅🙈 (two emojis, one with a sweatdrop smiling face, another with a monkey-see-no-... )

Unknown parent • •- but I'm unsure of whether it only works on mastodon (because I've only seen it on federated mastodon posts, here on Friendica), or if it's possible to "summon" it to here as well.

I'll go follow @Altbot too. Even if I won't post a lot of my own images, there might be images in links.
