I adore VLC.

I’ve been using Linux Mint for almost a year and a half now: would recommend it to anyone ready to make a jump into Linux and away from Windows. It’s quite friendly.

I’m also quite enjoying Sonarr to keep track of some older television shows that I enjoy.

Added mine!

Here are my humble three submissions!

The first is a bit of a mashup, mixing the proverbial light bulbs that go off in community threads and has a lemmy with full cheeks (probably after eating… a little too much!). Also, it looks like an ice cream cone. It’s a bit more pop-art.

Only the finest content will do: the second one has a bit more of a ‘fine dining’ aesthetic, where users engage online in a sophisticated, gentle-lemmy manner. Its nose is tipped upwards, as if looking down on lesser memes.

The third one is more attached to your sought-after design. I attempted to channel the similar Fediverse art style, while keeping it simple enough for an app logo.

Inspired!

There is this guy who killed 40,000 elephants because he thought it’d improve the environment.

His name was Allan Savory.

Anyways, it was a poor decision, which harmed the natural regrowth of grasses in Africa. And probably contributed to drought and poor soil conditions there. Sadly, he has been regarded as an expert and heralded as an environmentalist par excellance. So, less of a stupid prize for him than a poor prize for humanity writ-large.

History, my friend.

History.

Ah! I’m on Mastodon.world!

EDIT: You also asked for why. Well, I wrote a blog post about it, actually…

Seems like Voyager is a hit…

… but, I do offer another series of suggestions:

• Hubertos, the patron saint of hunters. In addition to linkages to a cure for rabies, he is the patron of hunters, which has fit with the lemmings and critters that we share online.
• Muroidea is the name for the superfamily of rodents, which you can read more about here.
• Artemis is another series of manned space flights from NASA.
• Ulysses is another example. Add in it being a name of a mythological explorer, and it adds another layer.
• Mushak: Ganesh, from the Hindu pantheon, rides a mouse. This mouse’s name is Mushak according to some sects. As a divine mount, there’s some fun pieces of lore and how this app is how Lemmy users can ride into knowledge of the world around them.
• Ratatoskr is a Norse rodent, who carries messages on the world tree in that mythology. As this app shares messages and connects people, it’s a fun way to share the core mission of Lemmy.

Those are some ideas! Hopefully some of this is helpful!
