Employes image from gravatar... Why?

[Raymond]

Hello

I tried to set a image for an employee and saw that it is not possible to simply upload a image, one need to go on gravatar and set there a image.

Why this?

Would not be much simpler and safer to just upload an image that is locally stored?

Personally I would settle this to use a local image by default, and use a gravatar avatar as an option (if this possibility to use a gravatar thing is there I guess is needed for some, however I do not understand the reason...)

That's a good question 🙂 I guess it was the easiest solution at a time. I agree we should get rid of these third party service dependencies. I filed an enhancement request on github for this one to not forget it
