I’m ootl, what caused this spike?

superkret OP ,

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

FiskFisk33 ,

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

idegenszavak ,

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.)

I don’t get it.

superkret OP ,

then your client doesn't seem to support Alt Text.All Pat has to do to make this real is rename his distro to “Deadpool & Wolverine”

TexMexBazooka ,

Your alt text does not answer anybodies question

Tetsuo ,

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

incompetentboob ,

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 OP ,

Thanks for the heads up. Edited the post.

Iapar ,

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

superkret OP ,

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

Iapar ,

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.

superkret OP ,

edited it

JackGreenEarth ,

Xkcd uses title text, not alt text

midori ,

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.

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

LesserAbe ,

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 OP ,

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

LesserAbe ,

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

That definitely wasn’t implied. Thanks for clarifying.
