I’ve never been banned or even moderated by Hexbear.net for saying my opinion freely.

Gross, it was already going away in 1.0.0 but you wanted to ruin it for everyone else early?

2026 edition when?

It does! The alt and title fields are separate, and if you look at the generated HTML, you can see that the text from the brackets is used as the alt text.

When I remember to set them (I try to, since it’s the nice thing to do for accessibility purposes), I usually set them the same, because even though many people don’t use screen readers, the alt text is what they’ll have read out, while the title text becomes more of an easter egg for other folks.

While alt text is more important than title text for screen readers, many browsers will display the title text more readily. For example, when I long-press on your image, it doesn’t show “Alt Text Here” but if I long press on this one, it will show “Title Text Here”:

Pretty neat!

They don’t call it neature for nothing

No, buying a license is never ethical.

It’s both.

French philosopher René Descartes considered animals unfeeling biological machines, and for centuries the circle of moral concern barely extended beyond our own species.

But the boundaries have steadily crept outward. Recognition that mammals experience pain came first, followed by birds. Fish too, once assumed to lack the necessary brain structures, are now widely accepted as capable of pain-like states.

The leap into invertebrates has been greater and more contentious

Hmm, I feel like I gotta clear up some misconceptions.

1. The Hexbear account is not my alt, it’s my main
2. Hexbear unfortunately does not allow me to define the appropriate number of pronoun forms, I’m limited to 2 pairs of 2
3. I did not import from Hexbear and my display name is not an “accident”
4. User tags only notify in comments until 1.0.0 (maybe not a misconception since I’m not sure if that’s even a proper tag as-is, and maybe you weren’t actually intending for me to see the post)

Congrats on figuring it out, I just vagueposted complained in my profile without bothering to try to fix things myself until a cool cat gave me a hand.

I’ll bask in knowing that Mia knew exactly what I meant at least.

Lemmy is open source and doesn’t have ableist function names, but ydy

Remind me again why y’all have piefed instances?

Far too well

Fuck.
