      I mean, tariffs can work if you have an industry to protect or local alternatives and use them with intend. But if you don’t, stuff is just going to be more expensive. This is frying my brain! And I ain’t that smart!

        Oh yeah absolutely, but that’s not very often the case anymore in a globalised world, especially when the tariffs apply to your industrial inputs too

            Not in all frontends according to user reports. What’s the problem with linking twice either way? You were exploitly told the apps where users weren’t seeing it before and chalked it up to an “image linking issue”, so I’m just helping other users avoid that in the future!

                Why are you so upset about linking to other posts? I don’t understand?

                  It has to do with the proxying URLs on images [A rare instance related issue]

                  On the clients that were mentioned:

                  Here’s Thunder

                  Here’s the dbzer0 web interface

                  All with proper crossposting menus, anything else you’d like to misrepresent or lie about?
