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’ve yet to see the show but I’ve played it plenty of times to become sort of good at it, the real fun with both cylons clue in and start coordinating with each other Richard-D-Wolff

      I played a game where someone revealed turn 1, it’s still a good game (the other Cylon didnt reveal). Actually they were forced to reveal cause what’s her name used her once a game power to shoot them - that person ALWAYS got the hidden betrayer role like in werewolf or whatever. They actually felt relieved not having to pretend for once.

        See I’m a real bad liar so I stay quiet for the most part but when grilled I fold, this time me and the cylon both tried to fudge a check but since I know I can’t lie for shit I did what I could to take the heat off her and do what I could on the cyclon ship with super crisises. Ngl when the prez checked two other players to see if they were cylon I was sweating and just glad she didn’t pick me oh-shit
