I don’t know why it keeps posting pics on its side

    All the bookstores in my area are this liberal slop. They put a angela davis mug next to a Kamela mug, the fucking irony man. They had BPP stuff next to RGB merch.

      During the lifetime of great revolutionaries, the oppressing classes relentlessly persecute them, and treat their teachings with malicious hostility, the most furious hatred and the most unscrupulous campaign of lies and slanders. After their death, attempts are made to convert them into harmless icons, to canonize them, so to say, and to surround their names with a certain halo for the "consolation" of the oppressed classes and with the object of duping them, while at the same time emasculating the revolutionary doctrine of its content, vulgarizing it and blunting its revolutionary edge.

    Hexbear strips out exif data, including rotation, in an effort to make it less trivial to doxx anyone that uploads a photo. Many cameras and image editing softwares will just use exif rotation data rather than actually remapping the pixels to be the right way up, because it's computationally easier. When hexbear strips out the exif data, it also strips out that rotation data, resulting in sideways or upside down images.

        If you're on Android, the simple gallery app on f-droid actually rotates the image. I just rotate it forward, then save, then backwards and save again.

        Yep! Cropping an image will work, as it does mean that the file would actually need to have core attributes changed, so your image editor will actually create a new file instead of just adding the instruction telling image viewers to just display it turned.

    Lol yeah the hexbear image uploader is just broke in that way. Had it happen to me a few times.

    Also that rbg book is @PoorlyAgedThings material.

      It's based on the phisical pixel geometry of the image. When it's uploaded, the soft remap is lost with all the other image metadata
