   bad documentation and API over charges

   First, the docuemtnation is out of date... for node.js, anyway. This meant that I had to patch together parts of the docuemtnation to get the API to work. Then, as the articles are paginated. the API charges 50 token for each page of the query, when it should be 50 tokens for the entire query. Therefore, I'd been charged 5,000 tokens within minutes. (Note: it's $150 USD for every 10,000 tokens)

   I asked for a refund, explaining the pagination issue, and was told that I made a mistake.

   I've requested my money back from the credit card company and provided them the proof of faulty documentation and billing.

• US plans online portal to bypass content bans in Europe and elsewhere

  I'm in the UK and can't access https://imgur.com/ - an American service that now refuses to serve content to Britain because "On September 30, 2025, Imgur blocked users from the United Kingdom in response to a potential fine from the Information Commissioner's Office regarding its handling of children's personal data". I presume that means OSA. It does lend credibility to the blocks when it's US companies trying... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Do not download the app, use the website

  > If you've ever opened Reddit, LinkedIn, Pinterest, or practically any popular service on your phone's web browser, you've likely encountered it. Another website that asks to Get The App is https://imgur.com/ , every time you open a link to just view that image you instantly got asked to Get The App. It's really annoying! - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Optimizing Image Display with Blur Placeholder and Lazyload

  In the beginning, finding a place to store images was quite difficult. I once set up a simple image server using Node.js, but it was a burden to maintain. There were many things to consider, and I didn't want to spend too much time on that. By chance, I found the website imgur.com - which allowed me to upload images without many restrictions, and at that time, the image loading speed from imgur was quite good, so... - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago
