Emotes, icons and Emoji!

[FCLC]

Hi Everyone!

I'll be sharing some sticker, icon and logo packs here to be used for the mast.hpc.social emoji keyboard!

Feel free to suggest others as well!

Currently missing from the above are:
HPC guru (and various funny iterations like a "who is/I am/unmask HPC guru")
Some of the accelerator langs (MPI, OpenCL, Kokkos etc.)
Some of the "Memes", Xeon Phi, Itanium, Opteron/Bulldozer, Exascale
I'd like to have some pride/outreach emojis/emotes (The ones based on the blob pack from android circa 2014-2017 are popular for this sort of application, BLAHAJ is another that's very low unassuming but popular)
VIM/EMACS should maybe make an appearance?

I feel as if the HPC crowd might enjoy a Futurama reference or two with a zoidberg/professor emote? (Technically correct comes to mind?)

How can these be made available to account holders for use? Are there any restrictions involved, or is it just a technical issue of sharing?

Once added to the instance, my understanding that they auto insert into the keyboard whenever you're logged in.

Be it in browser or the various clients

Thanks. If you could find a link somewhere that we can provide to the hosting service, I can see if they can turn it on. Also I'd like to enable translation since we do sometimes get posts in other languages and I'd like to encourage that. I can read many at some level, but not all.

@FCLC Hereʻs a post on FediTips that confirms we can get these added. Do you have a package I should submit to get them added? I found the page to do this in the administrative interface. https://mstdn.social/@feditips/109604461015803758
