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.

finally got round to watching the zone of interest

thoughtsthe film was excellent, in a truly bleak way. fantastic sound design too, i don't think any film has every made me so deeply uncomfortable and sick as this does just with the juxtaposed sounds of the happy family and the death camps. i would also say that it's the only film i've seen on the matter that came close to eliciting the same feeling as did visiting auschwitz itself, a deep disgust and anger. however by being shot in a voyeuristic, detached way the film manages to humanise the höss family while not giving any opportunity to become sympathetic to them. if anything, i think their portrayal as "ordinary" makes them more monstrous than if they are portrayed as one-dimensional villains, as even ralph fiennes' portrayal of höss in schindler's list leans toward.

One of the best films I've seen in ages tbh

re: thoughtI love how the mundane is portrayed to be dripping with evil. But I also do wonder if it's on the nose enough for a nato loving european (for example) to even get what the film is about. It kinda reminds me of "slice of life" films that similar people have no patience for because they have "no story"
