Several imports later, I just wanted to give an update here: the version of the `convert` tool installed in my dev environment doesn’t support the `bicubic` interpolation method which is used in `app/models/optimized_image.rb`

I’ve found @marguerite’s post here, which helped me getting avatars to show up locally.

> Changed ‘bicubic’ to ‘catrom’, it worked. So I patched app/models/optimized\_image.rb, and now everything works. Thank you guys wink
