Two rules:

1. Don't talk to the police
2. Fuck you, pay me.

I walked away from Perl about a decade ago, after having used it for about a decade. I have not missed it.

I’d sooner pipe a dozen POSIX commands together than write a single line of Perl.

This may be because your instance is running Lemmy v0.19.3.

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/blob/0.19.3/src/shared/components/post/post-form.tsx#L421-L423

versus

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/blob/0.19.5/src/shared/components/post/post-form.tsx#L627-L646

I do, when I hover my mouse over the image. YMMV, depending on your client.

How did the alt text even get in there? I don’t find anything when I do exiftool -a -u blah.webp or magick identify -verbose blah.webp

Edit to add: oic: The “Alt Text” field doesn’t appear in the post form until after I upload the image.

Off the top of my head:

• Android and its derivatives, and other distributions based on ToyBox (if any exist, I don’t know)
• Alpine and other distributions based on BusyBox
• Chimera

Any script kiddie can scrape the entirety of Lemmy, with the exception of direct/private messages. robots.txt is merely a request, with no enforcement capability.

I actually can’t answer them, because I only admin this instance, I don’t run it.

While I’m sure this is not the case, it’s entirely possible that the people who do run this instance are running a fork of it that does all of those things. It couldn’t log your IP address or block your VPN, but it could mine, and your instance could yours. And I haven’t read the Lemmy source code, so I don’t know what even an unmodified Lemmy logs.

(Actually this instance is running a fork right now, or rather a branch: 0.19.6-beta1, because lemmy.ml is the core Lemmy developers’ instance for testing beta code before releasing production versions.)
