Question for my artists: I really like sketching when trying to do art, and I prefer physical paper. If I colour, I like coloured pencils. What are some good sketchbooks and pencils (and maybe pens if I feel like inking) for clean, lasting work?

Please boost for visibility.

I wish I could have participated in the meeting but had to run some errands instead. :blob_pensive:

That new Alice in Chains song is not bad. Actually, it's been playing in my head for days now.

After cursory investigation there are quite a lot of Google references in the Riot android app. It looks like analytics is not much of a problem, especially if you installed from f-droid. It's either off by default or you can turn it off from settings.

The main Google integration is GCM and that only applies if you installed from Google Play.

So basic opsec with the Riot app is to only install it from f-droid and prefer xmpp when possible.

Tusky 2.0beta1 will soon be available to every beta tester on Google Play. Depending on feedback, Tusky 2.0 will be released for everybody in about a week.

It really was a lot of work of a lot of people. But now I proudly present you: #Tusky 2.0

ME: I don't know if I'd have the courage and the responsibility to have some tattoos.
ALSO ME: *sees someone with a bunch of amazing tattoos and wishes to have some as well*

I think I don't feel so awkward listening to my own recorded voice anymore. It doesn't sound so bad.

I'm glad I can help her and make her feel a little more secure about making every single question she has, especially as I know some people would be quite aggressive with her if she looked for help somewhere else. We need to take care of each other and listen to the simplest of questions to make tech a bit more welcoming.

One of my dearest friends is studying web development and it's so nice to be able to answer her questions and guide her as much as I can.

I guess today is one of those days I'm deeply regretting working from home.

i was trying to sleep a little but there's a birthday party happening right next to our window and they are playing some wildly inappropriate songs for kids.

the skeletons inside my closet are all the tokens of failed personal projects i never got to use.

i also have an ukulele on my wardrobe that i never really learned how to play.

i used to do the cutest drawings for my partner and even did a traveling log some years ago but then technology got in the way and i simply stopped.

i have way too much undeveloped skills.

i bought a drawing tablet almost one year ago and i didn't make any progress with it. it's on my shelf for months now without a use.

i should do something about it.

friendly reminder that not everyone has the time and/or the technical knowledge and/or the will to learn to use that software you consider to be the definitive solution to certain situation

and i can't believe i have to explicitly say this but

you shouldn't shame them for that.
