Re-watching this #homestuck "Lets read". This was so influential on me as a teen and contributed to me getting into computers. It's fun watching as an adult.

Debugging live #ActivityPub systems can be such a pain sometimes. Currently getting spammed by "Delete" events for random users whose public key can no longer be resolved via http signatures.

It's reasonably easy in most image editing software (lightroom, capture one, etc) to embed all sorts of EXIF metadata in an image. (Eg, photographer name, copyright, etc).
It would be great if there were a standard set of attribute tags for embedding Alt (and Title) text that gets automatically interpreted by services (like Mastodon) you upload to, so you don't have to type captions and descriptions every time. It would be so much easier to have this just live in the image files themselves.
What you're refering to as the Torment Nexus, is in fact GNU/Torment Nexus, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Torment Nexus. The Torment Nexus is not a man-made horror beyond comprehension unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full eldritch abomination as defined by POSIX.
