It is waaaaay too easy for anyone to go on a r34 site these days lol
These days? Mah boi, back in my day you'd very easily end up accidentally watching something horribly illegal just seconds before your computer is bricked by a Trojan.
Sometimes, you weren't even looking for porn!
I remember the first porn site I ever went on.
It was whitehouse.com and I was looking for Whitehouse.gov.
It was in the school library too. On a beige crt monitor!
Life was simpler back then.
I remember back in 1998 in my Desktop Publishing class, a girl wanted to sign up for an email address. I told her to go to hotmail.com to create one. She typed in hotmale.com and got a whole different kind of website than she was expecting.
I think I was looking into renfair type stuff once and told my friend to go to chainmaile.com (long gone now) saying "that's 'mail' with an 'e'". He did not go to the right website.
the lawless years of the internet were beautiful, i experienced most of them when i was a child, and i turned out normal (that's a lie, of course, i'm unsure how watching happy tree friends or one man one jar at 12 years old fucked me up, but i'm sure it did, somehow)
I think there's an entire generation of us that thinks tubgirl, goatse (I remember reading the guy's story, or at least someone pretending to be that guy and writing the story), beheadings, and hatchet vs. genitals are completely normal experiences. Who didn't watch all those, right?
Seeing tubgirl, goatse, and meatspin put a temper on my curiosity to the point that I can say I've never seen two girls one cup, even though I think it was the most "popular" out of all of those except maybe goatse. Hearing the description was enough to sate any curiosity.
I also know that Rick rolls are wholesome because it replaced surprise links to those. Plus Rick Astley is a genuine treasure and I'm glad becoming a meme didn't end up hurting him.
these days?
I've had r34 sites bookmarked in 2000, when I was a teenager
Sure, but you weren't accessing those sites from a computer that fit in your pocket and that you carried around with you at all times.
Not at all, a magazine is basically a computer but with faster data access speeds while sacrificing some read/write capabilities.
Also, like Lemmy, video is not supported.
What do you mean by video not being supported on Lemmy?
You sir, have great taste
Jokes aside, seems to be an issue with apps supporting it, because it does work on the web app which means Lemmy itself does support it.
That isn't Lemmy, that is just your client.
oh ok thx
It was a mp4 video and it displays fine for me, but heres a webm and tell me if you can watch this one
I see this one, but not the other one. Web interface, Firefox, Linux.
Try through this https://sh.itjust.works/comment/18867622 If it doesn't also work from it then it may be your network blocking the video url origin domain or something of the sort. I'm on Librefox in Linux and checked with Firefox and both displays it fine
That works.
Are you on lemmy.world or a subdomain of lemmy.world like a.lemmy.world or photon.lemmy.world or m.lemmy.world or old.lemmy.world ?
Try https://lemmy.world/post/30404573/17330074
Plain lemmy.world . Now all work, so the issue was a fluke.
nope, same issue
Probably your interface, lemmy default interface seems to display fine .mp4 .webm .mp3 the devs maintaining the interface you're using either havent been made aware of it not working or just simply need this compatibility to be ported over
yeah, i guess jerboa just doesn't have that feature yet
Forgot to mention but .mp3 is also supported
Linking off site works, but try uploading an .mp4 or even an animated .gif directly to a Lemmy instance. Most don't support it, and the ones that do had to add the functionality themselves.
I have uploaded many animated .gif and .webp just fine, though I didn't try uploading mp4 because if it somehow works I don't want to waste storage from the instance I'm on with videos
GIF (sorry that was the last one I got saved)
WEBP
Weird, it's saying the videos are an image to you? What client or web interface are you on?
Jerboa
For @festnt@sh.itjust.works it also didn't load and you both seem to not be using the default lemmy interface which seems to be the common factor, if you come on this thread in the default lemmy interface you can see both https://sh.itjust.works/comment/18867622
I guess both interfaces of you two dont support video embeds, maybe someone didn't report this issue yet in their repo
Not until Blackberries and the Sidekick were a thing.
Ahem.... Atari Portfolio + Serial adapter + accoustic coupler and every phone cell let you connect to your BBS of choice
The internet had a phone number! You had to call in, and pay by the minute!
[modem noise intensifies]
Still don't. The small screen is immersion breaking.
I keep forgetting how young I am
Don't worry, that's not a long term kind of problem.
Good. Nothing wrong with porn or erotification of things that don't exist. We're just horny beings.
The worst is when you come across story spoilers for something in your backlog when you're browsing.
oh hi rowbot
