        Hi.

        I'm just curious. Also why? Was it anything to do with the character Yumi [blue-skinned humanoid girl] from the 1980s cartoon, Ulysses 31?

        🤔

        How can you trust that an app really won't send some company your location data, when you tell it not to? The only way you can trust a program not to do something it isn't supposed to do is if it is free software. ~ RMS

          @Opolork Joe & Wayne dubbed our mascot in one of their UTAs.

          Yumi stands for "you and me", and it keeps the same spirit than the word "ubuntu" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_philosophy) 🙂
