Yes exactly. Embrace and extinguish has always been Microsoft’s strategy. They’ll release their own distribution and either make it slower and more complicated than Windows, so that everyone thinks Windows is the better OS, or they’ll make it a cloud OS like Chrome, requiring recurring payments to use Office 365 and everything else.

I think you’re complaining that your lemmy client displays the alt text over the image. Mine does that with videos, which I also find annoying, but not with images. In any case, it is a client issue, so you could ask your developer nicely for an option to disable this behaviour (or look in the settings if it’s already possible)

We shouldn’t be talking about stuff like this here. It spooks the noobs.
