From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I really wish they'd fix this issue already. I've never seen it persistent on any other website before.
You know "they" is one dude, right?
@ernest more specifically.
I don't know if tagging him sends him a notification, but if you're reading this @ernest, it's doing the thumbnail thing but we kbin users are seeing a picture of a naked licking a lollypop on a linux post.
It's funny but I do think it's a bug rather than a feature.
Not sure if anyone else pointed it out to you, but op posted a thing, then edited the post to capitalize on an exploit.
Software is actually pretty intensely hard to create.
Ernest has done his best at creating a federverse instance for all us Kbin users, but also, none of us were here 3 years ago.
I also don't see Ernest becomming a Spez In 7 years, so I applaud the effort and the platform, and if we get more robust nsfw thumbnail handling, cool, but I also love the ability to edit my posts to fix my typos and whatnot, trolls thumbnails titties and all sometimes.
