How do you view the alttext on mobile?
XKCD has a mobile website, just change the URL to m.xkcd.com and it shows the alt text at the bottom
On Firefox, long press the image. If the alt text is long then you also have to press the text to expand it.
Most mobile browsers show alt text when you long press the image, sometimes you have to tap on the alt text if it's longer than a few words (same as mentioned by the Firefox comment)
Also, in sync for lemmy the xkcd comics load as an image but the overflow menu contains extra details including alt text.
He wants the harpoon from snow crash.
I want the stickers.
And the shockwave projector.
... and the dentata.
Can I mount Reason on my bike
Ayy I had a flat tire yesterday and I approve
Example: translated bike road, cars are guests!
I think people are just confused on how that would actually work, it's like boomers staring at a roundabout thinking it's making traffic worse. People are so used to congested streets with cars that looking at the example probably gives them anxiety thinking about navigating it.
saw a comment a couple days ago – “You are not stuck in traffic. You ARE traffic.”
No, spikes aren't permanent enough, drivers can just move them tot he side or cover them to pass over them. We should plant Czech Hedgehogs and Dragon's teeth on out roads!
Already got a Onewheel, I just need a 'pon now... 😁
