Yeah, because the proxy has decided it doesn't like it

This is what I actually wanted to link to/embed

Well actually I originally tried with a direct tenor link

https://tenor.com/bdBiU.gif

But it didn't like that either

It's a feature of Lemmy where your instance will proxy image links for you, it can be useful in some cases to do things like bypass regional censorships (If you can access your home instance from your country, but not instance lemmy.example.com your home instance can proxy the image from lemmy.example.com so you can still see it (text is handled by federation already, so no proxy required for just text)) or to cache images in case an instance goes down

But it seems to be poorly implemented where it's end user experience is a pain at best, and the more aggressive it's set the more annoying it is.

Take for example this instance I'm currently on, infosec.pub, they seem to have it set to aggressively replace all image links including in comments no matter what.

So now my attempt to reply to this comment https://infosec.pub/comment/20590443 is utterly broken because the image service just doesn't like it despite me just wanting to link to the off-site gif link manually typing the markdown instead.

This is what that gif looks like proxied:

So like @UnpledgedCatnapTipper@piefed.blahaj.zone found out it's a Verizon sold phone and Verizon are absolute fuckwads about letting you unlock the BL.

When the seller said "Unlocked" they meant carrier unlocked as in it will accept any non-Verizon SIM card

Now, generally, for every other US carrier that does also mean you have the ability to unlock the BL because per Google policy when the phone is carrier unlocked then you will be able to BL unlock...

...except when that carrier is Verizon

Not sure how successful you'll be on getting a refund, because technically they didn't mistake anything the commonly accepted definition for "Unlocked" in this context is carrier unlocked. Which you would have been fine with, again, had that carrier not been Verizon.

Fuck Verizon.

Fair, but that's the end result of Terry's psychosis.

Overstreets would be just beginning, who knows maybe next week we'll start seeing articles that his "GirLLMfriend" is telling him he needs to build an OS around bcachefs for the Ai-Gods and then boom TempleOS²

And Overstreet does have master level skills no doubt, making a FS is hard. Making a good FS is harder. Making a good FS by yourself is S-tier almost on par with building an entire OS from scratch

cm0002 @infosec.pub 2d ago

Oh no, I'm not falling for that again lmfao

cm0002 @infosec.pub 2d ago

As I've told you prior: Check bio for listing of accounts if you wish

Also, cm0002 downvotes anyone that complains about their behavior, usually with no comment or response. They do not care.

Funny, I've replied to you every time you comment, sometimes within minutes lmao

Why am I cross-posting .ml content?
I cross-post from .ml to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to help vitilize non-.ml comms and make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because one key reason I identified that admins don't want to defederate is because .ml still has some very large comms and some active niche comms.
Megathread on the issue
Some highlights from the link:
.ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558 The original transphobic Comment from Nutomic: https://lemmy.world/post/18236068
"If you don't support Russia then you just don't understand geopolitics" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415
"Don't worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control! ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/30580167
"See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn't count!!" ~ Davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/30673342
"NK is actually good and anything counter to that is Western propaganda!" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/31595035
General negative sentiment to other instances who haven't "seen the way" yet ~davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/27426510
And so so much documentation on clear heavy handed censorship and bias also on the link. So much I can't even put them all here because this comment would be really long.
I believe the behavior of its admins (the main admins are Lemmy devs) does harm to the overall growth of the Lemmy-verse and maybe even the Thrediverse (since Lemmy kinda kicked off the Thrediverse) because of its association with the devs of Lemmy and their insistence to use .ml as their personal political platform to spread harmful propaganda
On the outside, bringing up Lemmy frequently leads to comments like "Lemmy? Isn't that the place with a bunch of tankies?" Or "Tried Lemmy, but found it full of pro Russia crap so I left". The best way forward from that I see is to either widely defederate from .ml like the rest of the Triad, or pressure them to put a fair and unbiased as possible admin team.
