1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    For those who are wondering, yes, Wine is malware compatible so be careful about the EXEs you run!

    As far as I'm aware, Lemmy unfortunately does not provide the option to add alt text to images. Hopefully that will change, though!

    Oof that sucks. Thank you for answering :)

    Really? So when I write ![alt text](image link), the alt text does nothing?

    I didn't know you could do that!

    From what I can see, this means you can add alt text to images you embed using markdown. However, directly uploaded images in posts don't seem to have a way to directly add alt text that I can find. You can add a transcription in the text body, but it's not quite as accessible as pure alt text because screen readers won't read it automatically when the image gets focused.

    Possibly you could embed an image in the text body and upload that like a text post, and that way use the markdown to add the alt text, but that would require the image is already hosted somewhere in the internet.
