I wish I could add alt text to my photos on my own device, and then it would go along with them no matter where I posted them. Is there anything that does this?

Ughhh I might need to buy a new phone.
Mine shut off in the cold but it's been four hours and it still won't turn back on.

Skype used to have a thing where you could be notified when someone mentioned a specific term and I wish discord would implement that instead of pinging me whenever someone reacts to my messages.

Hello! I am looking for both book and computer game recs for my kids! I have an 8yo who loves dragons and stories about people who don't quite fit in, and a 6yo who likes funny graphic novels. Some games they're enjoying lately are Lego Star Wars, Minecraft Dungeons, and Untitled Goose Game.
I have some ideas for them already so I'm especially interested in less mainstream books that I might not have heard of, and that the library is less likely to have. (For games, it's pretty safe to assume I haven't heard of anything).

Went to a pokemon go meetup tonight with my eldest -- someone there was saying how they started playing in 2016, and 8yo piped up with "that's the year I was born!"

Deciding between ebooks and paper copies, thought process:
Well, if I get the paper copy, I'm sure I can always ~find~ the ebook later, if I need it. It doesn't work the other way around.
--wait a sec, I'm a bookbinder. It does work the other way around!

Peach Flower House closing has brought to my attention the fact that I never actually finalized my purchase of The Imperial Uncle. So, I'm going to do that, but how about Peach Blossom Debt? Has anyone here read that?

We're like three levels of exposition deep (pov character eavesdropping on another character recounting something that happened) and I feel like this goes against all the rules of "good writing" but somehow it works? The comic-relief antics of some of the recounting/listening characters definitely adds to the effect.
Anyway, result is, I have technically not had Linghu Chong for any length of time whatsoever yet, but if anything happened to him, Rosa Diaz meme, etc.

Apparently to get the printer to do what I want, I need to print immediately after cleaning the print heads. I don't know how waiting half a day made such a big difference but at least I figured it out.

Today I am: trying to replicate printer settings to get a grayscale image to print in exactly the same grays as it did last night. I know it can do it! I have the evidence!

Affinity Creative Suite (an Adobe alternative) is now free for eligible schools and nonprofits (no, I don't know what defines "eligible" here). Sharing here in case this is useful for anyone!

Does anyone know if there's a way to stream old Pokemon episodes outside of amazon? We've watched the very first season on netflix, but the other series they have are much more recent with a big gap between. 8yo is very insistent on watching everything in order.

Vecteezy, a site I sometimes go to for free design elements, has apparently decided to be more terrible on purpose: a few weeks ago I signed up for the free trial for their subscription service, because I wanted a particular vector image that wasn't free. Now that I've cancelled the free trial, search results on the site are blocked by a huge inescapable pop-up ad for their subscriptions that can't be clicked out of. There's also a "restart your plan to access our full collection."
The thing is...I can still access their collection? I can see everything on individual contributor pages, and I can search on a private tab and then copy the url and download the images while signed in. So this is just making things terrible for no functional reason. Thanks vecteezy.

By the way, if anyone is filling out the Seven Seas reader survey and doesn't have a Japanese manga to request, I've been requesting "Torikae Baya" by Chiho Saito every month and wouldn't mind some support. It's based on a Heian novel and it's very gender!
It's about two siblings who both transition in childhood and then, due to court intrigue reasons, trade places. It's an interesting twist on the "pretending to be the opposite gender" trope, in that the gender they're pretending to be is their assigned-at-birth gender.
I was not really satisfied with the novel's ending (to be fair, it was written around a thousand years ago and the surviving ending may not even be the original version) and I hear the manga does some things differently and I would really like to be able to read it.
...Seven Seas may not be the ideal publisher for this one but I don't know of anyone else who solicits reader suggestions like they do.
