based off of a similar solution by Charlie_Veniot, I have solved one of the long-standing friction points with adding images to my digital garden in TiddlyWiki.
This image importer will accept drag/drop links of image files (via the filesystem viewed in a webbrowser i.e. file:///Users/myPath/…) plus being able to quickly designate them into specific system directories via checkbox, or just supply the custom path directly
As someone who is totally blind, the Fediverse is the only place where I have ever been able to follow people such as photographers, artists, or even those who post pictures of their cats or the food they ate. The reason is that most of them use alt text. They take the time to describe the images that my screen reader can't recognise. Some write the descriptions themselves, and others use tools such as altbot. Some worry that their descriptions aren't good enough, especially when they are new at this. Let me assure you, not only are they good enough, they are extremely appreciated! If the rest of the world thought as you did, it would be a much better place. Don't hesitate to ask if you're unsure of something, but never think that we don't notice your effort.
Linked is (one of many I am sure) tool that creates pretty amazing images from prompts. And there's a pretty capable free tier!https://salas.com/2025/01/15/ideogram/#cool-tools #graphics #images #artificial-intelligence
Monday is January's #FullMoon — the #WolfMoon.
It's now exactly 2 #lunar cycles to the #TotalLunarEclipse on 2025 Mar 14, the Night of the #KrononautMoon, and our invitation to #TimeTravelers to come visit or send us a #quantum #signal. (To be followed by 2 more Total Lunar Eclipses in the next year!)
Here's our extended version #Checklist for the Night of the Krononaut Moon, a celebration of Time Travel. (Original post located here: https://me.dm/@KronoMoon/113610202533882675).
Coming our way next on 2025 Mar 14 #UTC 07:00, 2 months from now.
#Observe the #Moon & #stars that night, wherever & however you like, with friends & colleagues or on your own. Local #times flexible.
#Connect with the #cosmos & with your #past & #future #selves. Send a #signal to #beings in the #future(s). #Candles & safe #campfires are good; #music & #dancing are good; #radio #wave #antennas are good. Be experimental!
Click & share many #photos of the #Moon, with you (and your #family / #pets) under it — what we call a #Moonsie — and any nearby #UFOs. Share your #images with @KronoMoon & @KronoMoonPhotos.
#Enjoy a deepened #moment of #peace, #love, #authenticity & #meaning, with other #Mastodonians around the #world & #beyond — wherever you are.

@AlinaLeonova
I always add #AltText, but since it is a PITA and I would feel bad not using alt text I tend to post #Images to #Mastodon less.
