I just published a new 7min20 video.
"Overview of my Krita Digital Painting Workflow − end 2022 (commented tutorial)"
It describes the recent steps you saw in my "Process" posts: the one with color flat, and shading.
I hope it will inspire you to paint.

Don Quixote is hundreds of years old, but the story of a man who becomes so immersed in media that he can no longer distiguish fantasy from reality, and is aided by people who indulge the fantasy while saving him from himself, seems so very modern.

Adults are at times farther from comprehending the world than children. Children have yet to educated, but remain open to learning, while adults have often been 𝘮𝘪𝘴-educated, and so jealously guard the granite of their preconception from being cracked by a contrary truth.

The bird site has suspended Mastodon’s official account.

Someone’s getting twitchy…

For some people, attention is a drug (and online, it can be profitable too). If an attention addict can't get positive attention they'll settle for negative attention. As they say, "There's no such thing as bad publicity."

Maybe I'm just a contrarian, but while everyone else stares angrily at the loud motorcycle driving down the street blaring horrible music, my instinct is to ignore them and starve them of the negative attention they are demanding.

Not liberals, but "liberals."

It bothers me how power struggles within the blue-red corporate uniparty transform complex philosophies into meaningless epithets.

If you argue "censorship is good, actually," you are not a liberal. If you cheer for the FBI, you are not a liberal. https://t.co/p9206DktbS

My good friend @JohnCusack on the PRESS Act. It's important to keep the limits on the White House's ability to spy on journalists from changing at the stroke of an Attorney General's pen.

From GNU Press: If you were thinking about getting a gift for your GNU-loving friends or family, now is the time to place that order! Check out our latest offerings, including the all-new Stuffed Baby Gnu, handmade in Germany specifically for the FSF. https://u.fsf.org/3vb

BOOST! BOOST! BOOST!
They would boost local timelines, fediverse timelines too.
Which was something the Grinch couldn't possibly do.
And THEN they'd do something he liked least of all!
Every Toot down in Tootville, the tall and the small,
Would see the full timeline, not one paid post or ad.
They'd get more engagement, more good and less bad.
They'd reply! And they'd reply! And they'd REPLY!
REPLY! REPLY! REPLY!

@ainent Great question! Not in this upcoming release, though it may get better.

Eventually we would like to make the UI more responsive for various screen/window sizes, which should make the experience better on Linux phones

People have forgotten the entire purpose of rights: to protect the minority from the majority.

The majority never itself requires freedom of speech, press, or religion, because it is their opinion that defines the popular and acceptable. Only the *un*popular requires a defense.

Looking for a slighty-vintage but libre-friendly, FSF RYF-certified and cheap laptop that makes you stand out? We recently updated our Thinkpad X200 offer and reduced the price massively: https://store.vikings.net/en/x200-ryf-certfied #store #ryf #fsf #trisquel #libre

Did you know that #Mastodon supports #RSS feeds?

That means you can follow your favorite people and topics right inside of Thunderbird!

→ Just add ".rss" to the URL ←

For example, our Mastodon URL "https://mastodon.online/@thunderbird"

becomes

"https://mastodon.online/@thunderbird.rss"

What about #hashtags? YEP!

Let's look at #OpenSource. From our instance, it is: "https://mastodon.online/tags/opensource"

So, we just append .rss and it works!

"https://mastodon.online/tags/opensource.rss"

REALLY useful if you don't want to miss a thing!

Hello, world! Posting this from my new account! I'm venturing into the world of running my own #Mastodon instance! I'll be sharing it with some great folks who are new to Mastodon and the #Fediverse and want to see what it's all about.

It's super cool that we can spin up our own instances like this. #Decentralization is awesome!

People of other instances, if you feel so inclined, can you boost this to help my new server federate? Y'all are the best. Thanks!
