The process is complex. A control balise tells the train to lower the pantograph; but as a failsafe a further zero balise is placed beyond the lower zone as the last line of defence; it tells the driver to lower the pan or stop the train.
If the pantograph fails to lower, the driver must bring the train to a stand to avoid damage. So the zero balise must be at least the braking distance before OLE end.
The cumulative effect of this process is that at 125mph the zone is ~ 1.2km long. #ALT4me
It's good to have a start to #Caturday with a few described cat #photos. Keep those coming for those of us who'll need them throughout the day. It seemed like there were only a few of them last week.
#Photo descriptions are important for those of us who can't see. We want to enjoy them too. Not only that, we want to see what brings you joy or everything else. So help as much as you can. If you aren't able to write descriptions, use the #Alt4Me hashtag and kind souls will help.

@Lezecolos Si tu manques d'inspiration pour la description, tu postes ta photo avec le hashtag #alt4me, et quelqu'un te proposeras une description.
Mastodon:
If you’re sighted and you see the hashtag #Alt4Me underneath an image post, it means a blind person wants you to write a description of the image. Reply to the post with the tag and give them the description.
Also, if you’re a sighted person and you see a remarkable image that doesn’t have a description and no one has requested one yet, be pro-active and reply with a description using the tag #Alt4You which will let blind people find your description more easily.

Semi-regular reminder to please put alt text captions on your pictures! They help people using screen readers to navigate the Fediverse know what it is you are posting. Doesn't your cute #cat deserve to be accessible to all?
No need to be fancy, describing the point of the image suffices ("a cute orange cat is sleeping curled up in a ball").
If you cannot describe your images, you can ask for help with #Alt4Me .
Thanks! :ablobcatbongokeyboard:

Solitamente non guardo moltissimo le TL (sto soprattutto sulla home) ma oggi, facendo un giretto tra varie TL locali, ho notato che ci sono in giro moltissime immagini senza descrizione.
Dai amicɜ!!! Possiamo impegnarci di più cavolo. Scrivere due righe porta via un paio di minuti al massimo.
Se poi questi minuti possono aiutare qualcuno valgono oro! No? 😉
Dai, dai, dai!
P.S. se proprio non avete tempo provate l'hashtag #ALT4me e, appena qualcuno vi risponde, modificate il post.
@bronakins @HaruEb @Mrfunkedude #Alt4Me : "Here is my image - could someone please suggest an #AltText description for me because for whatever reason, I can't right now."
#Alt4You : "Here is some #AltText to accompany the image you posted."
