When an attached image is loaded, then if the loading fails the app should check if it's using proxying (domain belongs to posters'/forums' instance or user's instance & contains redirect format URL pointing to another domain) and give you a button to press to retry, which would suggest bypassing the proxy and requesting the original image directly

Motivation: I keep seeing broken image embeds and can't be bothered to view source and try the redirect section in my browser after rewriting it to a proper link for every failed image load

Let the app do that for me

• In 2023, La Corona, Venezuela’s last standing glacier in the Sierra Nevada de Mérida National Park, was reclassified as an ice field, having shrunk to the size of barely two football fields.
• The country is now the first tropical nation to lose all of its glaciers, which melted rapidly due to a combination of warming temperatures, reduced rainfall and ineffective policies since early signs of melting appeared in the late 19th century.
• As Venezuela’s symbolic glaciers began melting one after another, a team of researchers started studying not only their disappearance, but the emerging ecosystems that were taking over the formerly icy areas.
• With the ice gone, the city of Mérida, advertised for decades as the “city of eternal snow,” is now having to reinvent its identity and its tourism industry.

Wild orcas on more than 30 occasions in four oceans have attempted to share their prey with people, potentially to develop relationships with humans, researchers have found.

In each of the instances recorded over two decades, orcas approached a person within a length of the orca’s body, and dropped freshly-hunted prey in front of the human, then waited for a response, according to a paper reporting the behavior published Monday in the Journal of Comparative Psychology.

Orcas of every age tried to share their prey, and just about everything was on the menu: sea otter, harbor seal, common murre, gray whale, green turtle, eagle ray, starfish, jellyfish, on and on.

Orcas are the ocean’s top predator, and their brains are second only to modern humans in terms of their size in relation to their body. Their capacity for advanced communications and cognitive, social and emotional intelligence is well known. Prey sharing is common in orca culture.

So just what are the orcas doing, offering food to people?

Destruction of habitat—as a result not just of climate change, but industrial agriculture, deforestation, and urbanization as well—is driving native species to the brink. Simply planting trees, if they’re non-native, may not help much and can even make the situation worse. In contrast, native trees and shrubs provide a food forest for birds and insects that would otherwise go hungry. It seems like a small gesture in the face of the cataclysmic trends converging on us, but at least it’s a push in the right direction: it restores ecosystems and makes them more resilient. That way, when civilization goes, it might possibly leave something behind other than a wasteland.

Both native forests and food forests offer a range of benefits and are well worth planting.

i (m, gay) have been with my bf (m, bi) for about three months. we are in a long-distance relationship, and we've been friends for a year or two now, maybe like october 2023. lately, he's been really depressed. when he's not depressed, he's just tired and overall low energy. he never really has a lot of energy to talk to me or anything like that, and even if he wants to, he doesn't feel like it from his depression.

he has had a bad childhood and has trauma and i feel really bad for him. i get really sad/depressed when he's depressed and he says i do help, but only a little because he's so empty. he also doesn't know what he wants, so i'm there to support him. he doesn't know whether or not he wants to talk to me sometimes either, so sometimes we take mental health breaks and come back once we're happier.

i don't really know what to do, it's also not like he lost feelings for me.

he comes from a fairly poor family with an abusive family member.

I've seen it happen in Europe but specially in Spain once and again since 2011. It's not his actual intentions what you must be wary about, or whether he has sincere Dem allegiance or not. What you must worry is the fact that even as a classic defender of Democratic Socialism he simply won't be able to do much, not in this day and age, an that has consequences.

As an example of one of his viral videos, he says legal systems for expropriating exist in NY, but that doesn't matter much because he will either be blocked from his usage or the results will be reversed by the state. There are a lot of laws that sound revolutionary in liberal democracies, but he keeps talking as if the capitalist state is neutral and will simply let him use them liberally, maybe because he underestimates a local administration: it's waaay more constrained than territorial ones. Here in Barcelona we had the main street activist for affordable housing Ada Colau as a mayor for 8 years, she tried haaard, not only didn't she compensate the market's tendency, it actually got so much worse.

This is a weird illusion that would vanish if they looked closely at other leftist projects's "success" when ruling in liberal democracies, it's the sad eagerness of democratic leftists to get harder-faster-stronger results in order to convince voters in a system that surely sometimes conceded, like in your FDR's time, but nowadays simply makes sure that those results are tiny, never enough to keeping their voters encouraged, much less even dare compensate the tide of capitalism significantly.

Meanwhile, he'll be drowned in fake news from all buyable media (which most of his voter base follow) and fake legal accusations that the state will push as far as they can. They don't need him in jail, all they need is the thousands of "common sense" Dem casuals that vote for him to see him tarnished, put in the defensive, ugly, like another celebrity. I've seen relevant leftist politicians destroyed by fake accusations of covering their old ex who came up to be a pedophile. You'll see him grow 10 years old for every 4 of governance in exchange for poor results.

But the worst effect this process has is demobilizing leftists on a wider sense. It happened with Syriza in Greece and Podemos in Spain, because liberal democracy is still the main hope/cope for most leftists and when their rare successes fail miserably it drags them down for a decade, plummeting all wide working class organizing, specially unions.

That's why revolutionary communists sent their guys to liberal parliaments with reforms as a nice complement, but agitation as the main objective.

[I assume there's a lot of rationalization in this "analysis", I'm not that well read on marxism, please feel free to correct any overly opinionated take.]
