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.
