It's useful to note that there exists Lemmy servers where down votes are not processed. So the high up vote to down vote ratio isn't necessarily a reflection of people not down voting, it's potentially a reflection of the servers that allow down votes along with all other servers (generally they all allow up votes).

They might have changed the OP to fix it in the past hour, but for me the "screenshot" is coming from the social image for the link on the post itself. Clicking through the link gets to the actual article.

You know, I was just thinking how stupid the name sounded until you pointed this out. I still think it's stupid, but now it at least makes sense how we got here.

I keep hearing people only on Lemmy bring up Gitea but I haven't really heard of it otherwise. What's the appeal and what's keeping it locked away with the Lemmy community?

Are they moving issues or just code storage to GitHub?

I think the YouTube Downloader is paid and they might be getting it confused.

People absolutely think something about it when it happens, and hell sometimes the government even does something about it (as demonstrated in the article you linked). Just a whole lot of us would argue they don't do enough about it.

I lived in Boston for a while (with a car, but putting low miles on it)

Curious, did buying groceries more end up costing more?

When I switched from buying in bulk periodically to buying small more often, I can say that my first few weeks definitely cost more. I had a mindset about buying for X weeks out instead of X days out that took a bit to shake. In the process I realized how much food waste I was having by purchasing in bulk and not fully using everything, and I naturally switched to purchasing less at the grocery store. Both because it meant carrying less home but also because it was cheaper. Now I buy more or less exactly what I need and I can say on average my grocery spending is less now (avg monthly) than it was when I was buying in bulk.

Oh but didn't you know that's just a slippery slope argument and he's really just a cool dude and who doesn't encourage hate or violence? /s

A whole lotta people in this thread who don't want to acknowledge that this dude is trash, no matter how good or bad their music is.

I made it pretty clear he's a terrible person, just for many, many other reasons that are far easier to argue.

Defending a pedophile doesn't make one a pedophile. That's the stretch I'm arguing against.

I can't believe I'm defending Stallman here. He's got so many other reasons to be hated.

I haven't personally tested this, so this is all an assumption because of how related things work. But I've done extensive accessibility testing throughout the years and things tend to act the same.

On the web app for Lemmy, alternative text should be called out instead of the image (well, alongside since it lets you know there's an image with alt text). When you use an image as the text of a link (so, what is normally a clickable image) it should call out that it's a link, then that the link is an image, then that the image has alt text. This is not dissimilar to how things work if the image won't load and the alt text is shown instead.

On mobile apps it's the wild west, almost entirely depending on if the app developers put in the additional effort to make all of that information available to screen readers. By default not a whole lot is given other than the text itself so images are often completely skipped or called out without the alt text.
