I'm ootl, what caused this spike?

[-] superkret@feddit.org 5 points 2 months ago

Read the alt text (hover over image or long-click it on mobile).

[-] incompetentboob@lemmy.world 81 points 2 months ago

I too enjoy not answering people’s questions and instead suggesting things that don’t work. There isn’t any alt text for the a lot of apps people use.

[-] superkret@feddit.org 15 points 2 months ago

Thanks for the heads up. Edited the post.

[-] Iapar@feddit.org 26 points 2 months ago

Isn't alt Text for people with screen reader who otherwise would have problems with pictures?

[-] superkret@feddit.org 19 points 2 months ago

Shit, I just wanted to make a meme, not exclude people with disabilities.
xkcd uses it for a second punchline.

[-] Iapar@feddit.org 12 points 2 months ago

Alt Text should describe the picture for, example, blind people.

Maybe you could put the punchline in a spoiler tag? So people can read the setup without the punchline being visible.

I'm if possible even more confused now that I read that

[-] idegenszavak@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago

Who is pat? I guess it's Patrick Volkerding, bdfl of slackware.

The diagram is the search interest for the "new" name? There is a new movie titled similarly. (I don't follow superhero movies since Superman 3. That was perfect, I'm not interested in new developments.)

[-] superkret@feddit.org 2 points 2 months ago

then your client doesn't seem to support Alt Text.

I've read the comments here and I just don't get it, what does any of this mean?

[-] RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 months ago

It means All pat has to do to make this real is rename his distro to "deadpool and wolverine".

[-] Malix@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 months ago

oh, right. how silly of me.

[-] Tetsuo@jlai.lu 3 points 2 months ago

I like turtles.

Thank you for understanding.

No idea what you mean, usually on Jerboa alt text is below the image.

You wouldn't be messing with us would you? :)

EDIT: I see you added the alt-text. Haha I genuinely thought maybe you were yanking our chains

[-] midori@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

If there's alt text, it's customary and polite to include that text in the post.

[-] kubica@fedia.io 24 points 2 months ago

Meme aside, I wanted to say that the "alt" attribute is sometimes confused with the "title" one.

They are used for different things. The alt attribute is used instead of the image. If the image can't be shown, and in screen readers. title attribute is shown along with the image, typically as a hover tooltip. should not be used "instead" of the other. Each should be used properly, to do the things they were designed to do. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/872389/html-img-tag-title-attribute-vs-alt-attribute

[-] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah that is not alt text, it is just more confusing

[-] LesserAbe@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

After reading the alt text and googling I'm still baffled. The actual google trends show no spike in interest, so I guess OP is saying they wish Slackware was back on people's radar, and maybe the Slackware maintainer could do that using a stunt name change.

[-] superkret@feddit.org 9 points 2 months ago

The left part of my meme graph is from "Slackware".
The right part is from "Deadpool & Wolverine".

[-] QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

That definitely wasn’t implied. Thanks for clarifying.

[-] LesserAbe@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Lol well sorry the joke didn't go over, but thanks for contributing.
