the fuck russia?

Why would someone reply with

Be gone foul […]

makes no sense.

whats the context of that comment?

First the US opposed a European-drafted resolution condemning Moscow’s actions and supporting Ukraine’s territorial integrity - voting the same way as Russia and countries including North Korea and Belarus at the UN General Assembly (UNGA) in New York.

So the allies of Moscow were opposed to condemn Moscow and Ukraine’s territorial integrity…

This isn’t even worthy of a shocked Pikachu.

It’s either a ruse or Merz really doesn’t give a fuck about the ICC and the global community.

I mean, you can have external images, and its then the job of the browser how to display them; be it inline, in a new tab, replacing the page etc.

Thats not the only argument against inline images:

4.4.3 Why doesn’t text/gemini support inline images?

This is a deliberate decision made in direct service of the guiding principle of user autonomy (see answer 4.2.2), specifically the idea that text/gemini documents should have no way to trigger additional network requests. Images are one particular case where this principle also overlaps substantially with our guiding principle of user privacy (see answer 4.2.1). So-called “tracking-pixels” have been a standard tool of the internet’s surveillance marketing complex for many years. These tiny, invisible images abuse the web’s behaviour of automatically downloading image files from arbitrary third-party servers to effectively trick your computer into “pinging” surveillance servers, reporting your movements as you explore the web.

admitting that one made a mistake? Unthinkable!
