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

        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.

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

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

                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.

          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.)

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

    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

    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.
