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.

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."
