    I feel like, for some weird reason, nobody on lemmy knows how meme templates are supposed to be used.

    This happened to me not long ago when I found a monero miner running on my laptop. Being a highly technical person, I feel unbounded shame.

    Image Transcription: Meme


    [Gru, the long-nosed protagonist of the “Despicable Me” franchise, presents to the camera, pointing into the air and smiling. Behind him is a flipchart with text reading:]

    And the best part about using Linux: No viruses!


    [Still presenting, Gru has his hand in a C shape and his head down as he peers at the gap between his fingers. The text now reads:]

    Look at this, a website downloaded a malicious .exe on my machine.


    [Gru now has his hands pointing down, fingers splayed, still presenting. The text now reads:]

    *Double Click*

    See? Nothing happe…


    [Gru looks back to the flipchart in a double-take, his eyes round and wide and his mouth downturned. The text still reads:]

    *Wine is launching*

    [The Wine logo: a slightly tipped wine glass with red wine sloshing inside it.]

      Oh gods I’m tired. I read:

      And saw the line break and thought “Wow. That was a good transcription.” I think I need to go back to bed.

      Does Lemmy not support alt text? I can’t add alt text from Infinity for Lemmy; is that because Lemmy doesn’t support it or just my client? Because they really should.

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

            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.

    You really don’t think Linux has viruses? I’m confused by this post. Is it an excuse to shit on wine and windows?

      They’re super rare. I’ve not gotten one once in decades, whereas I’ve encountered countless viruses on Windows. Linux is more secure, but also it’s just a smaller target. Best way to avoid viruses is to use an OS nobody else wants to use *taps head
