Is there any way to hide embedded images on lemmy?
These are pretty annoying.
as a PSA, before ๐ซตyou post images on the internet, it's important to put alt text whenever you can. Some people need screen readers to acess the web, and it can give context to help understand it. Give a good description, and if there's text on it, include that in the alt text. Acessibility is important!
Use Lynx browser, if that's even still a thing?
EDIT: It is!
Always one of the first things I install with a new Arch Linux install! Not because it's useful or anything, I'm not delusional, but because it's hella cool
A modern use case: I like RSS in my terminal so I use newsboat but hate it opening firefox and swapping me out of the terminal when I want to read more. So I have it use lynx instead.
I also have a computer without a DE that can browse the web (lynx), look at pictures (JP2a), watch movies (I don't recall the name of the program but it converts the video to ASCII), edit word docs (take your pick), and send email (mail).
I've always preferred w3m or links over lynx.
Never tried that, thanks for the suggestion
Links handles javascript better, though.
Maybe some specific frontend or mobile app.
