Trans Megathread for the Week of November 11th, 2024 to November 17th, 2024

Xenia, the fox girl mascot of Linux, was first designed in 1996 by Alan Mackey. She was meant to be an alternative to Tux, the official mascot.

She had fallen into obscurity, but was noticed by a Twitter user in 2019 and was redrawn as a fox girl. But as it turned out, Xenia was originally meant to be male! The original creator, Alan, was cool with this, saying "It matches the transition of a lot of the smartest, nerdiest Linux users I know" and "And sure, you made her trans!".

So now we have a trans Linux mascot. And I think that's neat.

i now understand webfishing yes it is good i caught a branch and was delighted
- update: i spent an hour trying to play Say It Ain't So on a virtual guitar with a mouse
  
  I wish there was a better way to play the virtual guitar, maybe a strum could be a keypress or something. I spent around 20 minutes learning the intro to Everlong, but the input delay inconsistently messes it up
  
  This game is so fun though
  
  yeah agree, i mean i wish it were easier to pick individual notes but that's more a skill thing. its so funny how much easier it is to just grab a real guitar lol
  
  edit: i do wanna say though the virtual guitar is pretty good, programmign chords and then strumming with mouse is pretty intuitive and probably the least bad simple UI for this
- webfishing is a game where you destroy the server with a manta ray
