You've done well [You've done well]

[You've done well]

Edit: I FUCKING LOVE YOU, WAHOO!!!!!!!!!!!

Edit: is there any way to caption the text or abstract over displaying the link with the text you want go caption it as? Is that somehow possible?

I don't think so. AFAIK there is no native method to caption images in markdown, which is what this editor uses. People try to bring about this effect by italicising the part they would want as a caption right underneath the image. However, in your case, I see a [You've done well] banner underneath the image, which I assume is the caption you meant. Not sure how that happened but if that works, great!

*some text* = some text

What do you think about my workaround I edited in? It works, however inelegantly

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Hmm, I'm on my computer now and I can't see the image for some reason.

Edit: sorry, just my browser. But why do I see two [You’ve done well]s?

Your reply to your comment above is better: just one italicised caption makes it easy to understand. Great job!

Gotta see what demographics are doing what so they can hoard power, wealth, status.

How can we block this kind of tracking?

[–] FractalsInfinite 11 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Ublock origin and Facebook Container are a good start. I would recommend having a look through the most upvoted posts of this sub as well.

I don't think this is necessary anymore with total cookie protection being enabled by default https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/firefox-rolls-out-total-cookie-protection-by-default-to-all-users-worldwide/
