So, this one's rather interesting. Ever heard of a VIC-II (PAL) labelled MOS 8656R2? Well, I haven't.

Wondered why this (apparently fully functional) VIC that I got off eBay had a 8565R2 label fitted on top of it and peeled it off to find this underneath. A mistake in a production run, or ... ?

Hey, @switchingsocial do you know of any "Lifesum" alternatives?

"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."

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.

@jpmens its funny because old school coding barely used any of that... 😅

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. puri.sm/posts/avoiding-big-tec librem.one/

@purism NP. I wish the logo didn't look a bit like an all-seeing-eye btw... kind of creepy! Just wanted to put that out there.

@jalcine ... ah i see you depend on your browser as if its an OS. I am definitely running in the opposite direction as that! lol. I'm a guy so I want stuff under my control. Not so convenient -- at least not today. @purism is working on making FOSS more convenient.

Did you know that contributes to several free software projects such as GNOME, wlroots and Debian? We've also made dozens of patches to the kernel (5.2, 5.1, 5.0, 4.20) for the Librem 5 and our other hardware puri.sm/posts/purism-and-the-l
