How does the alt text just saying "image/jpeg" happen? Is some Mastodon client being stupid and automatically adding that? I can't imagine anyone typing that in on purpose

Oh, wow, now I know that this image is a JPEG, fascinating information

@vaporeon_ seems to be one of the valid "media types", which probably has something to do with it iana.org/assignments/media-typ

@wallhackio I'm aware of those (though I know them under the name "MIME types"), what confuses me is how it ends up in the alt text for example here: glaceon.social/@josephbenton@m

@amy @vaporeon_ @wallhackio it’s honestly funny to me in a way i don’t know how to explain

@wallhackio @vaporeon_ i did not expect you not to expect Vaporeon to know what a MIME type is
