hi peeps &lt;3 Running a small fundraiser to keep altbot and fuzzies.wtf alive and healthy! my server storage hit 100% full and took down basically everything. i got it fixed, but it's clear i need more drives before it happens again. altbot is free, open source, and runs 24/7 generating alt text for anyone on the fediverse who needs it. it's real accessibility infrastructure and i want to keep free. goal is $500 for a set of used (and tested for good health) enterprise drives off ebay. every little bit helps get there! https://ko-fi.com/micr0byte/goal?g=0 #Fediverse #Accessibility #OpenSource #AltText

@micr0 i just dropped 5$ to see the progress bar start filling, but it's still at 0%😢 Anyway, I love Altbot and hope you reach your goal with the help of our fediverse community

@micr0 Heads up for any screen reader users who want to support this. On the KoFi page, the toggle buttons to choose One Time or Monthly donation don't update their states properly at the moment, screen readers say One time is unpressed and Monthly is pressed no matter what you do. If you hit either Enter or Space on whichever button you want to choose, hitting either of those keystrokes does work. FYI I got confirmation from a working set of peepers and finished making a donation here to verify. I think there's someone at KoFi I can reach easily, will try to get it fixed.
