[Insert flipped image here]

Apparently ~~Sopuli/Lemmy/Firefox~~ g-thumb on Linux ~~automatically~~ flips and rotates images using exif data which is stripped when posting ~~to what it thinks is the right side up~~. How annoying.

that's a phone os setting, not the apps. 'autorotate' in android, dunno about iphone.

I'm on desktop lol. Maybe a Linux thing then.

*g-thumb thing

that, or whatever you used to rotate image did so by editing exif orientation data, and that got stripped/lost somewhere along the way when posted, so the image unrotated itself (I guess?)

Afaik Lemmy automatically strips EXIF data from uploaded pictures (which is good for privacy, but bad for people who don't rotate their pictures for real I guess)
