it's tragic that microsoft gs wavetable synth doesn't have chorus, the chorused honky tony piano part is one of my favourite parts of this song and you can only appreciate it if you use, well, basically anything other than microsoft gs wavetable synth to play it back
here's PASSPORT.MID from Windows 95 played back with my Roland SC-7

Today, 15 years ago #OTD the person or group with the fictive name of “Satoshi Nakamoto” created the first cryptocurrency named Bitcoin with the thought of it becoming a secure and fast alternative to fiat currency.
Now it's known as the most wasteful use of electricity, inefficient and limiting capability/functionality, as well as being among the most insecure and de-anonymizing ways to transfer money.
However, what Satoshi Nakamoto probably hasn't expected is how many scam-currencies would come after theirs, and how their invention would create a new breed of the most annoying people known to our species: crypto-bros.
@hikari Yeah, I feel like the question of "who is this for and what purpose does it serve" doesn't always get asked, but it really does guide what kind of alt text it'd even need.
The other thing is, the WCAG guidelines tend to emphasize concise descriptions in ways that posts about alt text here don’t. If the community guidelines don't line up with pre-existing "advice for writing alt text" guides, that makes it even harder to figure out.
But I had put together how many real world systems are examples of the same thing: mass screening for low prevalence problems.
And how the different situations make it either a good or bad idea.
I knew about the problem of trying to detect something that has low prevalence. The number of false-positives may vastly out number the true-positives.
A very insightful talk!

@PaulWermer @drahardja True. That reminds me of this comic by #WorkChronicles. https://workchronicles.com/comics/page/38/
@drahardja there is a distressing tendency to reward those who respond to a disaster, while ignoring those who do the difficult work of preventing a disaster. The latter is so much harder to see, and also so much more challenging...
