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.

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.
There are other contributors (szsz has submitted a PR this week, for example), but its all reviewed by ernest AFAIK.
I prefer to think of it as a feature and would prefer if it didn't get fixed.
Federverse is different from kbin's inception is different from reddit or its inception.
I like Kbin, and it's all because of Ernest's efforts.
