Funny, when I view this page on my Android phone running the Firefox Focus browser (6.1.1), I see the image replaced by a text box that says
Image may contain: one or more people and swimming
I’m not writing to complain, because the page displays fine in Chrome and regular Firefox. Firefox Focus is a minimalist browser that does not display some content, maybe blocking the content by design, and/or as a side effect of being minimalist. I’m writing because it’s funny that Focus automatically generates text to say what the image showed, in this case
one or more people and swimming
The algorithm is not capable of snark or pith, but I do enjoy reading into that. The one or more people could be all the president’s enablers, and the swimming could be consequences heading their way.
Dave, #6; it sounds more like the ‘trigger’ warnings given out before certain programmes or news items on television: ‘The following report may contain flashing images’, etc. Maybe Focus is just being over-protective.
Dave Ricks, the text you see is the “alt-text” property of the image, provided by the web page. Good development practice is to provide a brief description of the image for situations where the browser is, for whatever reason, unable to display the image. You can see the text in Chrome if you long-press on the picture. It’s not created by image analysis in the Focus browser.
Sackbut – the alt text is also used to make the site accessible for ADA purposes. I know, because I am in the process of creating alt-text for all the hundreds of images I use in my class! If someone can’t see it, the alt-text tells them what it is (and, as you can see from the above, not always very well – one or more people swimming hardly captures this image).
Nice, but I’d have gone with his head sticking out of a cesspit.
I hope they sent him extra copies for framing and display in every property he owns.
Without the Atomic Combover, Trump might not recognize it as himself.
That water is nowhere near turbid enough for him.
Holms – maybe he’s been ‘washed’ down by Russian call girls?

AoS #7, that made me laugh. I’ll remember this thread in case Focus gives me another one worth posting here.
