GIMP is probably the best image editor on Linux. But the mascot, Wilbert, not so much. How you suppost to animate a character that does not have a body?
But SuperTuxKart managed to make Wilbert drive a car, so I am sure we can figure out how to make him move.

Permacomputing is a concept near and dear to my heart. To understand what it is, let's take a look at our current computopolitical landscape: a handful of megacorporations own and operate almost all of the accessible internet and computation. If one of them stumbles in uptime, or does something ethically awful, goes bankrupt, or just decides to monopolize a whole computing concept, where do you go? If your stuff breaks, do you replace it, or is it robust enough to repair? How do we get to a more ethical, resilient digital life?
The idea behind permacomputing is to grow a whole ecosystem of computational concepts designed from the ground up to be open, accessible, repairable, resilient, and beyond socially responsible to the socially developmental. That means planning ahead for climate disaster, creating platforms that you can repair with simple tools or keystrokes, and minimize resource use. We need this more than you can know.
For the #Linux #kernel developers among you:
Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst[1] now mentions how to tag commits you do *not* want to see backported to stable/longterm series without an explicit request.[2]
Ohh, and it now mentions the difference between stable@kernel.org and stable@vger.kernel.org, too.[3]

We are finally going to upgrade our #ejabberd running on conversations.im, tomorrow, Saturday May 25th.
Unfortunately we won’t be able to do this without some down times throughout the day.
