I don’t get the second one
The second one's a pic of King Dedede from the Kirby series. I'm not 100% sure where o7's going with this either, but its probably related to the one two punch of fascism and slop hitting Linux as a whole.
EDIT: Giving it a bit more thought, the choice of Dedede works as a nod to Debian deciding to destroy its codebase with slop, so I'm gonna go with that and assume the subtle pun was intentional
I mainly know him from Smash Bros where his big attack is sucking you in close and beating you with his comically large mallet, and that seems like a reasonable metaphor for what being bombarded with slop commits feels like
