A line is an expression, not an accuracy test! #arttips

Attachments:

• If you're keeping the lines sketchy, overlapping long lines tend to be more expressive than many tiny lines linked together. The former prioritizes the flow that the line is trying to convey, rather than the line itself. (An example of a potted plant below; tiny scratchy lines are technically close to the shape but feel janky, while long flowing lines preserve the feel of the plant even if they're not 100% accurate.)

EU withheld a study that shows piracy doesn't hurt sales

https://www.engadget.com/2017-09-22-eu-suppressed-study-piracy-no-sales-impact.html

In 2013, the European Commission ordered a €360,000 ($430,000) study on how piracy affects sales of music, books, movies and games in the EU. However, it never ended up showing it to the public except for one cherry-picked section. That's possibly because the study concluded that there was no evidence that piracy affects copyrighted sales, and in the case of video games, might actually help them.

Good bike news: there's a parking "house" for bikes.
Bad bike news: it's not so big and it's full.
Good bike news: there's a bike storage/parking room inside the storage building.
Bad bike news: it's behind two locked doors so getting the bike is more work.

Tonight I feel like I have looked at too many things and now I can't look at more things, such as video games. I used up all my vision for the day.

This cat discourse is extremely weird to me.

How many of the people saying all cars should be kept indoors all the time because it’s “better” for them felt just as happy and content with life during the COVID lockdown?

Also since Mastodon gGmbH is a real legal entity now and I am its CEO I am actually the CEO of Mastodon now. Sorry for ruining the jokes.

Thanks to the generous help of the previous owner of the mastodon username on GitHub, our GitHub organization has finally been renamed to mastodon! 🎉

I know that changing the repository URL is a bother but I think it’s worth it and better done sooner than later. Tootsuite was not serious and had no connection to our actual name.

ahhh yes, it is once again Sunday morning in Sundogistan and that means #jazz

I woke up this week with one name in my mind, and that's usually a pretty good sign that they're saying something I need to hear said. Accordingly, today we'll be spending the day with Hiromi Uehara and her piano.

So, if some piano jazz with style and pizzazz might be enough to make your day more relaxed, feel free to follow along over on @nowplaying or streaming on https://radio.reclaim.technology/stream

Interesting - listening to this guy from Seattle who cut his own CEO salary to ensure his staff was well paid: https://www.rnz.co.nz/national/programmes/saturday/audio/2018803421/dan-price-the-ceo-who-slashed-his-salary-by-1-million Kim Hill asks him if he could've achieved the same if his company was public/listed. He suggests he couldn't. The system's broken & public trust of public corporations is misplaced.

Wow. A mighty thunderstorm began, then we lost power for about 15 minutes, then just after it came back we heard a whooshing sound that quickly grew louder. It was a heavy rain that came upon us.
