@tagomago Gotcha, coming right up!

@tagomago Thanks Tagomago! Any sub topic you're more interested in than others, or equally interested across the board?

I did it! Finally made a full video showing how I make isometric mini worlds in #Krita out of Creative Commons photos and images.

This world has a Japanese tea garden theme, and I ran the screen recorder while I made it, then added commentary of the process.

I'm looking for feedback on which techniques used people would most like dedicated step by step tutorials on, so please share your thoughts.

A couple of people asked me how I got my #Krita setup to look black and orange so I made this video to show both:

1. A quick easy way to get this colour scheme
2. How to dig deeper into customisation with a Krita plus #KDE Plasma combo

PSA for Linux video editors: Use the AppImage for #kdenlive not the PPA.

I had this awesome editing experience yesterday with the latest kdenlive and was delighted with my results.

Then I rendered and half the video turned out just black with audio. I did some troubleshooting, then 90% off the video came out black. Couldn't fix it. Went to bed disappointed.

Woke up, thought to try the AppImage, rendered out first time.

So now the CEO of Creative Commons is tweeting about NFTs, posting articles about them, and so is the main Creative Commons Twitter account.

Okay, I've absolutely had enough of the ridiculous JS ecosystem, except for where I absolutely need it in the browser for something that can't otherwise be done.

I want to learn how to do all the same stuff with Python because it looks like a better ecosystem. I'm a complete noob so I'm going to just accept looking silly and ask noob questions.

Could I make a little executable with python that would simply spin up a localhost and open a bundled static site in the default browser?

I'd like to learn about charitable projects that use #FOSS to provide educational opportunities to people who would otherwise be locked out due to software purchase prices.

Can anyone put me onto projects like this they're aware of?

I'm particularly interested in programs teaching design and digital art skills. But any org that creates opportunity for people through accessible software is of great interest, especially in highly disadvantaged communities.

Boosts welcome.

l am really liking the look of https://comradery.co/

I created a Patreon account a while ago but I had a bad feeling about it and never took it anywhere.

A co-op alternative sounds right on point for what we need.

@vidak you in particular might like this, if you haven't already seen it.

@tagomago Ah, it’s not refined wheat flour though, it’s buckwheat flour, which has quite a good nutrient profile. It’s a psuedocereal, like quinoa, rather than a grass seed. Nutritionally it’s more like a lower fat higher carb version of ground nuts.

Good B vitamin content, good mineral content, 15% of carbs from fiber, 95 kcal from flour in one 235 kcal muffin (rest is fruit, nuts, hemp seeds), well rounded amino acid profile. Also high in potentially helpful flavonoids quercitin and rutin.

@tagomago I would counter argue - it depends on what your health requirements are. These are proving quite helpful for me atm.

That said, what do you think may be harmful in this?

Legitimately healthy muffin.

No refined fat. No refined sugar. Sweetened mildly with fruit, cardamom and cinnamon. Buckwheat flour, bound with banana, risen with baking powder. All plant based. Solid macro and micro nutrient profile. And of course, delicious.

I love the idea of using “glam” to replace the racist “rice” term, so here’s shots of my glammed up Kubuntu install.

Hashtag ideas: #UnixGlam #GlammedOS #GlamStack

First image, obligatory Neofetch, on Konsole with customised Breeze colors. Latte Dock for panels glammed for touch optimisation, and they are transparent when not touching anything. Wallpaper is default because I actually love it so kept it. Spectrum Classic plasma style. Beauty orange icon set. Sweet Mars window decorations.

Filed under: Unsurprising things, the shittiness level of which could be seen coming years in advance.
