"This community-oriented nature is at the heart of #AO3's [#Archive Of Our Own] success—it was created by #fans who got tired of the capricious takedown policies of #forprofit #fanfiction #hostingsites and decided to buy their own servers, teach themselves how to code, and create a site that was exactly what they wanted, including an incredibly functional #taggingsystem that runs rings around both professional databases and billion-dollar social platforms."

10 Tricks to paint faster & better with Krita https://share.tube/videos/watch/17d33ffb-8b78-42bf-9066-be71910e5595

Testing #krita 4.2.6, I was also playing with a sketching technique where you first draw with a big brush(40px), then use the curves to lower the alpha to about a quarter, then half the radius you're working with (so then, 20), and so on till you have a detailed sketch.

Then I tried to see if I could get super-thin lines going(this is just the basic opacity flow brush at 2 px with AA enabled), but I can never really figure out how to color these. Colorize mask seems to work well too with them.

Hi !
There is an audio only option on PeerTube since 1.4.0rc1. Perhaps not the best option for an audio channel, but a very good one to broadcast everywhere. There is RSS function in PeerTube.

People want convenient products that respect them by default, that they can trust will not exploit them, that allow them to participate in digital society with peace of mind, knowing they are in complete control. https://puri.sm/posts/avoiding-big-tech-to-protect-your-privacy/ https://librem.one/ #purism #libremone

Did you know that #Purism contributes to several free software projects such as GNOME, wlroots and Debian?

Require all software purchased with taxpayer money be Free and Open Source. Duh!

* Reflections from the field *

"I have deleted Windows 10 and installed Ubuntu. I will never use Windows again; Game Over.

Months of tweaking Windows 10: removing services, stopping processes, uninstalling apps, doing all sorts of hacks, I was done. Over. I can't handle this garbage anymore.

I made a final decision & switched to Linux Ubuntu.

I'm relieved.

I'm so surprised that people are still using Windows. Something is wrong."
