Never gonna give you up never gonna let you down… Fuck how is this my brains first thought, thats insane.
Seriously I didn’t even need the hint. My first impression when I saw all those empty letters was that there’s no way I can guess this. Take a stab at it anyway, shed a tear as I realized that I guessed it first fucking try. Only then I see the hint. I think Rick Astley secretly controls society.
Exact same for me. Crazy.
We need to assassinate Rick Astley
I love the alt text on your images, top notch
How does one see alt text? I’ve seen people reference it on here, but I have no idea how to see it
In the Lemmy web UI in a browser, clicking the third button from the left (from the left it’s the upvote, downvote, then the page with a turned corner looking thing) will show the source code for a message. Below it’s colored green after having pressed it:
The “Alt text” is the part between the straight brackets, before the URL in the parentheses. So “img1”, “img2”, and “img3” in the screenshot - see how original they are!?:-P
I don’t know if there is a way you’re supposed to be able to do it, but one thing you can do is right-click the image and pick Inspect from the context menu, which will open a panel with the HTML of the image highlighted, and part of that will be the alt text if there is any.
Also I have a Firefox extension that adds “Copy Alt text” to the context menu when you right-click an image. I’ve used that and pasted into a text editor, which usually works as well.
Both of those are inconvenient, but at least you can find it. But there should be a button on the image to view it easily like there is on Mastodon.
Ahh, yeah, I’m on mobile. I rarely ever use the laptop outside of school
Are there Lemmy mobile apps? I don’t even know, I only access it via the browser. But if there are, maybe request that feature.
There are multiple. There’s Voyager, also available as a PWA if you want to stick to using your browser. I personally use Thunder most days.
The “official” app, made by the main lemmy dev is Jerboa, but like most first party fediverse apps, it’s barebones compared to third party offerings.
ETA:
I’m on Android. Don’t really know about iPhone options.I think Voyager is also on iOS? The default style at least is iOS, the Android style (iirc) is still beta.
Though I don’t have iPhone, just using Voyager on Android.
I can vouch for Voyager, it’s great
Well, I’m on a mobile browser and I don’t know how to do it either…
I’m using Thunder on mobile and opening images shows their alt text under the image.
Some sites will show alt text when you hover your mouse over an image on PC as well.
Screen readers are the main use for alt text to describe the images to visually impaired users though.
Only the best! Or… at least put the rest?:-)
I love that video just for the guest star.
always coming from hinder me up
Did anyone else get it without even noticing the hint at the bottom?
Yep. If you’re on the internet for long enough, you pretty much develop a sixth sense for when you’re being rickrolled. As soon as I saw that ‘Never’ fit, I knew what was up.
Yup, same, I didn’t even look for hints, just tried those lyrics…and groaned! Just like loosing the game, once you’ve been sucked into the vortex you’ll never get out!
And yes, I just lost the game.
Ricky Rolling right
I lost the game.
You deserve it.
Is this from the soundtrack of a famous video people would often send?
OK fuck sake this got me, gonna bring the song up now
Do you think in 20-30 years time, you can do the same with a 2010s song lyric, with the answer being Baby Shark? Or is Rick Astely just too famous/infamous to be replaced?
Rick Astley is never gonna give up
I didn’t think any will work.
Rickroll has been a thing for what 20 years? It’s not about just being catchy. It came about in a time when ‘going viral’ still meant something. Early Internet culture spread it everywhere. I remember an addon in WoW that was a full screen Rickroll. People everywhere in various forums were tricking folks. So many people have grown up with it.
Ai will rick roll you with youtube links sometimes. The meme has transcended humans.
I can’t think of lyrics iconic enough to do that for from the 2000s/2010s. Maybe Oops I did it again?
Will people in the future hide Baby Shark links?
Be the change you want to see in the world.
Great answer but please don’t. Please.
I already had the answer, knew what I was clicking, and did it anyway. I have no regrets, Pat.
MJ
I didn’t even need it to tell that it’s an 80’s song lyrics
Is this Loss?
We’re no strangers to that meme. But you know the rules, and so do I.
This is not loss.
Baby don’t hurt me, don’t hurt me, no more.
Well that was a lot quicker than I expected
