(if you’re not a dev, I assume this is your face right now, sorry about this:

I’m not a lemmy dev, I just took a look at their repository

I believe it’s the regex that detects if something is an image

A reddit image URL is :

https://i.redd.it/2obhjz2wb37b1.jpg
or
https://preview.redd.it/7s1p7mal707b1.jpg?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=f741210c6c54fed7c3ed06aaabdb1f0a49fd46cb

in both cases it has “.jpg” (with the dot) in it so it passes the regex. It does not need to finish with it.

Whereas the image your provided does not have that in it.

You can instead download the image and post it like this, or similarly take a screenshot.

I believe that sort of website does this on purpose to make sure they don’t waste server resources on other website that do not drive any ad revenue to them.

/remind me 1 year

More seriously though, only time will tell

I’ll go against all the comment here and say yes. It looks like apple is delivering a fantastic piece of hardware, and some basic solid features software wise. But the price point also means the user base will be more likely to buy expensive applications, compared to say the Quest. Some predictions

• Next iPhone will come with dual camera that allow to take 3D scenery, that can only fully be appreciated in the headset.
• The developer ecosystem will be super active. We know that’s going to be a line of product for at least 10 years, and being the first on the market in your segment can be critical.
• The price point is of course really high, but a year or so after they’ll announce the Apple Vision (not pro). This will remove some of the decorative feature, such as the outward facing screen that shows your eyes etc. and reduce the price point to maybe 2K. Again, possibly more expensive that people would be ready to pay, but don’t under estimate monthly payment plan elongated over 3 years. In between FOMO, social proof and the actual usefulness it will find its user base.

And at some point, Samsung, Google, and possibly maybe chinese constructers etc. will come up with their android based alternative. Starting as cheaper / not as good, and slowly catching up and building new features. “Samsung vision, gaming oriented with tracked controllers included”, “Pixel Vision, that integrates with your full suit of google products and give you great quality for less price” etc.
