Looks like jxself's artwork made it into the new Phoronix article on the latest Linux-libre 6.3 kernel
Freedo is quite the celebrity.

I appreciate your efforts in dealing with the negative behavior on Phoronix. Also, I'm always open to suggestions for new pictures.

It's a losing battle. Lots of comments each month in support of ever greater integration of proprietary bits into the kernel and the OS, and a few small voices like mine occasionally saying "why are you people so afraid of running your machines with libre software?"
It doesn't help that the sole writer/editor Micheal Larabel likes to mock the FSF and promote things like Google Chrome almost to the exclusion of libre alternatives.
But on the other hand, comments in support of the FSF's positions and in support of using Linux-libre do get a lot of up-votes, so there's clearly a solid base of interest among the readers. One thing I've often thought is that a Phoronix-style website that tracked news items from an FSF perspective would probably be successful.

We could write a deblob script to spin that content to be supportive of Linux-libre and software freedom. I have started brainstorming for a name. Ronophix? Phorognu?
Although this section of the Trisquel forum rarely misses relevant news items.
I too find the fsfla news more interesting:
People are worried in running non-free software they want to.
We need to clarify our way-of-life: Free As In Freedom.
