I'm starting to think that twitter wants monnnnney for the privilege to show their media on another website.
It appears that you’ve discovered a bug that has been present since 2017, and neither React nor Google has ever fixed/wanted to fix.
https://github.com/facebook/react/issues/11538
I have a community patch ready for this, but I need to evaluate its impact.
I was about to go today! ...because their “online store“ can't do new numbers, for some reason you have to port a number from whatever carrier.
I ended up buying a random eSIM online to do this portability thing, I'm a lazy ass fuck and didn't want to go to their “offline store“.

I took it from Kingdom Hearts 2, a videogame for Playstation 2, when I was a kid (~7yo). The two main characters are called Roxas and Sora, and I just combined them into Roxasora, then Soxasora to give it some uniqueness (S is my initial).
sox is short for soxasora not socks :P even though I really hate being barefoot so still valid.
To detect if a link is an image or a video, we used to load it on your browser and then load it again to show it to you. That was wasteful, and we now detect if a link is an image or a video with a microservice, for better reliability.
That worked! Our microservice was able to detect that the link was a video (by downloading its first bytes) and the editor indeed tried to load it.
Loading media happens client-side and in your browser, basically just
<video src="https://video.twimg..." />. Probably Twitter/X reads the origin of the request (stacker.news) and rejects it with403 (Forbidden).I'll check this out, maybe there's more to it, and come back with results.
