Looks like @imgur.com is completely unavailable in the UK now, with all images showing a message that imgur isn’t available in this region.

Guessing this is because of the Online Safety Act… surely this being unavailable will have no consequences for internet users in the UK…

Well, this feels like some dangerous advice from @github.com Copilot given the recent issues with using tags for Actions.
A screenshot of a Copilot AI suggestion on a GitHub pull request, suggesting changing `uses: actions/checkout@<commit hash> # <version>` to be `uses: actions/checkout@<version>`, with the comment: "Consider using the official version tag (e.g. actions/checkout@v4) instead of a commit hash for easier maintenance and to ensure you receive upstream security updates."

Thanks for the Christmas present, Amex.
