As a completely non #blind person with no #accessibility needs at all, I LOVE #AltText on images.
They often help clarify what's meant, why the image was posted, a bit about the posters personality and more. Image didn't load or can't wait for it? No problem! Didn't get the visual joke? The text usually makes it clear!
Don't do this just for peeps like me, but alt text helps a TON of people, *especially* but not only visually impaired people.
Alt text it all (esp artists)!

Love the concept, still adapting to the execution.

I've used debian since 2000 or 2001 or thereabouts and this is the first time I'm reading the release notes. 🙂
Before I've just winged it.
It could be that this not reading the release notes is a habit I acquired, because I stayed so many years on testing before I got my first stable upgrade...?
