Found this old gem when walking through a pile of old papers. It generates an #ASCII #Stereogram from an input file. Stereograms used to be a big thing decades ago. 😎🤣
I guess I’m finally getting old, but still have my #3D vision to view such images. 🤓
Copy the C source from the #AltText and create a sample source image to do it yourself. Compile the source and run it as shown.

Ban Ho, Vietnam
A farmer from the Red Dao ethnic group prepares his terraced paddies before planting rice in the village near Sapa. The economic fallout from the Iran war is affecting farmers across Asia as the planting season for staples such as rice gets under way. The costs of fuel and fertiliser coming from the Middle East through the strait of Hormuz have rocketed.Photograph: Kevin Frayer/Getty Images

Making it up as we go - seems like a fine way to start after what we know up until today...
Who's with me in that sentiment?

Salto del Agrio
This image was captured at Salto del Agrio, in the province of Neuquén, Argentina.The 45-metre waterfall plunges into a canyon carved by ancient lava flows from the Copahue volcano. Surrounded by basalt, the scene is enriched by the vivid colours left behind by minerals, particularly iron and sulfur carried by the Agrio River.

@Scott Jenson @Stefan Bohacek @Rosy This even raises quite a few questions.
When are you "doing it wrong"? What is the point at which you'll stop "doing it wrong"? What are the minimum requirements for, quote @Rosy, "good alt text"?
If you think you have the definite, all-encompassing answer, have you ever talked about it with someone, preferably with an alt-text activist? Because I'm pretty certain that their minimum requirements for "good alt text" and not "doing it wrong" are different from yours. Ask someone else, and their minimum requirements are different yet again.
Still, no matter how they define the minimum for "good alt text" and not "doing it wrong", you'll have to fulfill that to keep your dignity and your reputation, not to mention your reach.
This is why I try to play by all the rules when describing images. This is why I carefully choose between rules that contradict each other. This is why I take such a lot of things into consideration whenever I describe an image.
This, in fact, is why I haven't posted an actually original image in almost two years because the effort is so enormous.
And this is why I'm actually working on a wiki about alt-texts and image descriptions in the Fediverse. It'll have over 50 pages, and it uses more than 50 references all over the Web already now.
Now, what if I told you that you can even be lectured or sanctioned or insulted or blocked outright for not having good enough alt-text behind an image that you've posted several years ago? And that my images aren't auto-purged after a certain time?
