How to install GE-Proton on Steam Deck, SteamOS, Linux

GE-Proton (formerly Proton-GE) is a compatibility layer to run Windows games on Linux platforms like SteamOS / Steam Deck that can at times give you better game compatibility than Valve's official Proton. Here's how to install it.

With today's update, we've improved the look of the alt text modal you see when composing new posts on #Mastodon, and added some information about the significance of alt text for accessibility and how to write it.
A screenshot of the alt text modal in Mastodon's web app, with a preview of the image (in this case, our elephant mascot), a text field underneath it, a character counter, a button to automatically detect text on the image, and a help button that opens a popover with the headline "What is alt text?" The text that follows reads: "Alt text provides image descriptions for people with vision impairments, low-bandwidth connections, or those seeking extra context. You can improve accessibility and understanding for everyone by writing clear, concise, and objective alt text. - Capture important elements - Summarize text in images - Use regular sentence structure - Avoid redundant information - Focus on trends and key findings in complex visuals (like diagrams or maps)"

Someone else said this too, but if there is text in an image, that exact text should be in the alt text, not just a summary of it.

This is great. I like the focus on summarising, I feel that's a really good approach.
It's much more interesting to me to read/hear what is relevant to the original poster, rather than all little details that can become overwhelming. Thank you for the update.
