Lemmy can do this natively on instances running 0.19.0 or above, too.

Swift’s extensions system has spoiled me, and I feel the pain of this whenever I have to write Java

Right click on a MacBook depends on how the user configured it, which always trips me up whenever I use someone else’s. The default behaviour is a two-finger click, but it can be changed to single-finger clicking in the bottom-right corner instead. You can control+click too with both configurations, but that sucks

This is Philomena Cunk, a satirical BBC news reporter. They produce videos in which she interviews historical experts but only asks them stupid questions like “Were the pyramids built from the ground up, or from the top down?”

Yeah, the average iPhone user probably doesn’t use Files at all. Photos stores all of your photos and videos, so it’s really just PDFs that go in there for me. And a lot people don’t ever download PDFs anyways, since you can view them directly in a browser.

r/OrphanCrushingMachine was a popular subreddit inspired by this tweet

Same. I’ve made six accounts since I joined during the exodus, only two of which I actively use now.

Some people rely on ‘screen readers’ (software that reads text on the screen out loud when you move your finger over it) to browse content on Lemmy. Some screen readers can read text on images (I know Apple’s does, not sure about Android), but obviously it can make mistakes and there’s missing context a lot of the time. Hence the transcriptions.

There was a group of people on Reddit who added image transcriptions in the comments of posts but it was rarely seen in the post itself. I quite like that it’s been more popular on Lemmy. For inline images you can add hidden transcriptions using markdown, but for image posts it has to go in the body of the post.

There are also a couple of other benefits. The post is more likely to appear in search results if someone searches for text included in the transcription. And if the image fails to load for whatever reason, or the image host deletes it, you can get the gist from the transcription.

Not sure; I’ve wondered that before too. If I had to guess I’d say people just keep naming future kings after previously liked kings - the first few king Louis weren’t all that popular, but later on there were some popular ones (Louis IX was named a saint, for instance, which may have boosted it).

16 is certainly a lot of kings to have the same name. I believe there’s 20-something Pope Johns, if I recall correctly

They just don’t want you to see the tongues licking the dishes

You mean 2 -> 4?

2^2 = 4

I made a beef stroganoff meme a couple days ago, and it seems it’s become beans mk2 lol

I posted a meme about it yesterday, and I guess it’s just beans mk2 now 🤷‍♂️

I’ve had this image in my camera roll for ages, so I’m not sure. IIRC it came from an r/dalle post, but I could be wrong

This is an old image, so GPT wasn’t around back then. The top result of a Google search is often a sample of a webpage - Google estimates which part of the article best answers your question. The next sentence of the article probably tells you about the counting-rings method, but it was either cropped out of the image or Google didn’t choose to include that part of the article in the sample.
