        I too enjoy not answering people’s questions and instead suggesting things that don’t work. There isn’t any alt text for the a lot of apps people use.

          Who is pat? I guess it’s Patrick Volkerding, bdfl of slackware.

          The diagram is the search interest for the “new” name? There is a new movie titled similarly. (I don’t follow superhero movies since Superman 3. That was perfect, I’m not interested in new developments.)

        If there’s alt text, it’s customary and polite to include that text in the post.

        No idea what you mean, usually on Jerboa alt text is below the image.

        You wouldn’t be messing with us would you? :)

        EDIT: I see you added the alt-text. Haha I genuinely thought maybe you were yanking our chains

    Meme aside, I wanted to say that the “alt” attribute is sometimes confused with the “title” one.

    They are used for different things. The alt attribute is used instead of the image. If the image can’t be shown, and in screen readers. title attribute is shown along with the image, typically as a hover tooltip. should not be used “instead” of the other. Each should be used properly, to do the things they were designed to do. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/872389/html-img-tag-title-attribute-vs-alt-attribute

    After reading the alt text and googling I’m still baffled. The actual google trends show no spike in interest, so I guess OP is saying they wish Slackware was back on people’s radar, and maybe the Slackware maintainer could do that using a stunt name change.
