Elon is credibly regarded as inventor on two patents. Both design patents. One for the shape of a vehicle door and the other for the shape of a charger plug. So, he is an inventor, technically. He draws shapes and then patents them.
As an actual inventor (US Patent #12,095,717 B1), it’s pretty ridiculous that he technically qualifies, when all he’s done is doodle.
The other patents he’s listed as inventor on all have several other inventors listed, who probably did almost all, if not all, of the actual work.
I’ve noticed this, too. Haven’t worked out why they only work half the time. None of the gifs I post in the comments are my OC. I borrow the direct link from search results. Weirdly, it still looks OK on my end whilst viewing on Boost for Lemmy. I posted using Boost, too. If you see any in my comment history that are now no longer present, maybe posting via Boost is the answer to the issue
The other person explaining is definitely right. Also FYI what you are describing is called hotlinking and is generally considered to be bad internet etiquette because it adds load to someone’s server without driving real traffic to their site (although there is some debate around this that’s been ongoing for 30 years lol). The “best practice” is to copy the actual image (not the link) and paste it into Boost, and that should automatically upload the image to your lemmy/piefed instance and host it from there.
Probably because of the cloudflare layer. It shows me a captcha when I click on the link to your image, so it makes sense that embedding wouldn’t work correctly.
No, it’s the website you linked (yarn.co) that uses cloudflare protection (against bots, DDoS attacks etc). When it detects any traffic it deems unusual, it shows a captcha that the visitor needs to click before being able to view the image. It can’t display a captcha when you’ve embedded the image into a Lemmy post though, so the image just won’t load at all in that case.
Thanks for the explanation. I’m not sure why it works for half the time, though, as people are definitely seeing it. Is it because of the amount of traffic the gif has caused to Yarn.co after being embedded into a Lemmy post?
I guess not everyone’s traffic is being deemed unusual/suspicious. There are many deciding factors that cloudflare could use to differentiate from “normal” traffic, such as location, browser, OS, VPN usage etc.

Damn Elon is basically Krieger
He wish he was Krieger.
Hey Krieger actually invented things that worked.
But usually killed people.
…
Wait that still tracks.
Elon still invented nothing. The guy couldn’t even finish a degree in physics.
Its only his requirements for the real engineer team that made the inventions kill people.

How dare you
Krieger worked with the Nazis, but then killed them. He was actively trying to sabotage the Nazi regime.
Edit: forgot to mention, it was specifically in Dreamland, so maybe IRL he actually worked with Nazis. Unsure.
Also, his penis could actually get erect.
But only so.
I got Musk vibes from Fabian in the later seasons, not I’m not sure if that was intentional
Oh shit! The nuralink thing with the hundred of dead monkeys is totally kreiger shit!
I’m trying to track down why this keeps happening. May I ask how/where you uploaded this picture?

Thanks a lot, I will do that in future!

Does that mean only folks who use Cloudflare DNS will have issues? I am not very techy when it comes to network related things

Thank you! Makes sense now
