    Picture is just JPG. But like I said, it’s the activity pub message which I believe Lemmy can’t handle very well (or at all?). Its using a so called “attachment” attribute to the message. Here Mastodon also supports it: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/spec/activitypub/#properties-used

    Here an example of this:

    {"@context":["https:\/\/www.w3.org\/ns\/activitystreams","https:\/\/kbin.melroy.org\/contexts"],"id":"https:\/\/kbin.melroy.org\/m\/fediverse@lemmy.world\/t\/506689\/-\/comment\/4458544","type":"Note","attributedTo":"https:\/\/kbin.melroy.org\/u\/melroy","inReplyTo":"https:\/\/lemmy.ca\/post\/30865604","to":["https:\/\/www.w3.org\/ns\/activitystreams#Public","https:\/\/lemmy.ca\/u\/otter"],"cc":["https:\/\/lemmy.world\/c\/fediverse","https:\/\/kbin.melroy.org\/u\/melroy\/followers"],"sensitive":false,"content":"\u003Cp\u003EHere is the image.\u003C\/p\u003E\n","mediaType":"text\/html","source":{"content":"Here is the image.","mediaType":"text\/markdown"},"url":"https:\/\/kbin.melroy.org\/m\/fediverse@lemmy.world\/t\/506689\/-\/comment\/4458544","tag":[{"type":"Mention","href":"https:\/\/lemmy.ca\/u\/otter","name":"@otter@lemmy.ca"}],"published":"2024-10-13T14:36:34+02:00","contentMap":{"en":"\u003Cp\u003EHere is the image.\u003C\/p\u003E\n"},"attachment":[{"type":"Image","mediaType":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/kbin.melroy.org\/media\/12\/4f\/124f315062cb3fd1d8ae68e43c50805c64cf4d0b5ad5935837f9f9a1b55a15df.jpg","name":"Tips \u0026 Tricks to quit twitter","blurhash":"LdQ,2c~CS4-pMd$%R+af$MMyofRj","focalPoint":[0,0],"width":2480,"height":3354}],"image":{"type":"Image","url":"https:\/\/kbin.melroy.org\/media\/12\/4f\/124f315062cb3fd1d8ae68e43c50805c64cf4d0b5ad5935837f9f9a1b55a15df.jpg"}}

    Well. there are wiki pages with info about Lutris etc. like: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lutris

    But since I’m the author of WineGUI, I’m not allowed to create: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WineGUI (currently it just redirects to wine instead… bleh). Stupid Wikipedians people.

    Here you have the full page:

'''WineGUI''' is a [[graphical frontend]] for the [[Wine (software)|Wine]] software [[compatibility layer]] which allows [[Linux]] users to install [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]]-based Software as well as [[video games]] for [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]].

WineGUI can be used under [[Linux]] operating systems; deb, rpm and tar prebuild packages are provided.<ref>{{cite web

 | title      = WineGUI Releases
 | publisher  = WineGUI
 | accessdate = 14 October 2024}}</ref>

==Internals==
WineGUI is fully developed using the [[C++]] programming language and [[Gtkmm]] ([[GTK]] C++ wrapper) GUI-toolkit.

In some cases WineGUI rely on [[Winetricks]] to configure the Wine bottles. The latest Winetricks release will be retrieved automatically. 

Each "Windows Machine" in WineGUI has it's own Wine bottle (thus a different WINEPREFIX).

WineGUI is very responsive, due the fact that bottle (re)configurations are done in a multi-threaded manner. Also the GTK GUI natively integrates into most common [[Linux distributions]], matching the user's theme preferences.

Currently, WineGUI is relying on the Wine version that is installed on the host machine. However there are plans to support other Wine versions as well as other various Wine forks<ref>{{cite web
