Core Intuition 554 hot topics

Listened to most of @Coreint while exercising and there were a couple of particularly interesting discussions:
- to prompt or not for alt-text, - hearing “tone” in text messages.

Both resonated with me.

I forget alt-text on pictures and would love to be able to turn on prompting in micro.blog and MarsEdit when I forget.

I also find it difficult to anticipate the tone others might hear in my messages. I always hear it in my normal (quiet, deferential, Canadian?) voice but have been surprised occasionally that someone had clearly taken my response as abrupt or sarcastic. I don’t want to add smileys to everything I write but maybe I should use them more.
