Linux doesn't deserve this
Imagine taking the lightweight, privacy-focused appeal of Linux and completely ruining it by hardwiring AI models straight into the OS. Nobody is switching from Windows for more forced AI features.
I have two accounts on pure lemmy servers. The one that doesn't federate with lemmy.ml doesn't display the thumbnail for this post, but coughs up the image if I click where the thumbnail is supposed to be. The one that does federate with lemmy.ml shows both the thumbnail and the image. Someone probably has to put a bit more thought into image propagation and storage for corner cases like this.
