i was once told to hotlink images from other hosters… as opposed to uploading to lemmy. (to save on resources!)
Hotlinking is stealing. Besides servee owner could change the images your hotlinking to. Or he coukd delete it altogether
Haha I remember seeing the geocities threats about hotlinking.
The web is built on hot linking hypermedia. It is more fragile obviously, but it distributes the bandwidth and storage load. If nobody hotlinked, then small forum admins/Lemmy admins/etc. have considerably more cost to bear.
This meme is hotlinked, as God intended.
