The recent excitement surrounding Thread's arrival on the Fediverse is concerning. To understand why this is not a good idea, consider their economic interest in harvesting data, their poor moderation, and their manipulations. Nothing good can come from their federation. Don't roll out the red carpet for them.

@davidrevoy I think it was to be expected. It will certainly be tough but the open web will go out of it stronger than before

@davidrevoy The hysteria over this is truly confounding. Threads will not be able to harvest your data once federated. Being able to follow someone without the need to subscribe to the same platform/ rules they use/ follow is expressly the value of a federated network for me…

Oye, estoy completamente de acuerdo, nada de nada

Kicking Erwin Schrödinger out of my idols. Not because he chose a cat for his thought experiment, but because of one thing I learnt: he sexually abused children and kept a diary about it. 🤮 Src: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erwin_Sc

@davidrevoy thanks for sharing.
I imagined a cat coming out of the box with one certainty: pedophile.

@davidrevoy oh, that famous never-failing wiki-proof, which references the not publicly available dairy and some biography written by a no-name in 2012. It’s pathetic.

@davidrevoy Very good news, and interesting email from BenjaminTissoires.

@davidrevoy A great example for open-source development. Glad to hear that your issue has been fixed.

I kept the habit of my 'direct ballpen' training and I'm trying now anatomy on various perspective.

It's mind breaking difficult and I still fail in most of the case. But I still feel I'm learning a lot, so I'll keep pushing.

If you wonder why so many Cammy of Street Fighter: it's the first character that came to my mind when I wanted to study body anatomy in transport without going NSFW (but I'll CW here for that).

I'm actually shocked that there's still *some* that have any value, why and how?

Rant about the world of social media and marketing:

My latest (very recent) shock was receiving an email from a digital painting software company (I can't name them) asking me my price to switch my entire workflow to their proprietary product and announce it on my channels.

Of course I refused.

I'm still 100% committed to Free/Libre&Open-Source Software. But it made me realise that these days even profiles without a huge internet presence are getting paid to use and advocate things. Meh 😔

Daniil Baturin

@davidrevoy Uhm, you do have quite a presence and quite a few people, myself included, see you as a very prominent advocate of FOSS graphics software!

Painting on Sunday in autopilot mode to relax while beta testing.

@davidrevoy Aw, cute! Reminds me of the older painting of the girl offering a battery to a little robot. Very nice!

@davidrevoy As a "colour challenged" person not 1 and certainly not 2.

FYI:
1) can hardly tell the difference between 1.1 and 1.2
2) it's even worse for 2.1 and 2.2

:neko_cats_eye: Today I'm going to show you how I turned a cheap USB numeric keypad into a pad that I use for my digital painting shortcuts under GNU/Linux.
