This week I learned, from a blind acquaintance here, that when we write in ALL CAPS in alt text, their screenreader* reads it all out, *one letter at a time*.

Totally defeating the point of alt text making things accessible, right?
Needless to say, I've stopped.

Well, LOL remains LOL, of course!

* apparently, not all screenreaders.

In my last weekly review post I had to admit that I didn’t explicitly learn anything in that week and that I wanted make more effort for learning.

To help with that, I’ve created a little tool to generate Flashcards of knowledge as printable PDF documents.

Idea is to have a bunch of knowledge as a Markdown file and then either use your favourite LLM with the provided prompt, or the provided Python script to generate a printable PDF file.

I’m starting with ‘tmux‘ as I want to learn how to use this effectively.
