i know i can use the flatpak version and i did try that one out on my other laptop but, i think it will come to the package manager when some stuff is fixed??? thank you

 

i have been using linux mint and i enjoy the automatic updates feature of course!! it makes it easier to update flatpaks and packages! great, but, i also remember i was a user of ubuntu (xfce) and it had the same software but it was kind of weird because it only updated packages i think so.

is there any software or apps that you can download on other distros that do the same thing that linux mint does in regards to updates?? that it updates flatpaks and packages and everything. thank you very much, that would make my system more stable and up to date.

what the frick!! oh my gosh i would never print anything like that, yea, it's just the inner shadow. actually that's a poster a friend wanted me to print and give him and i thought the art was cool so i printed another one for myself

i'm happy that you think i have a printer hehehh i will now give you all the info about it. ok!

well, first of all, i don't have a printer in my house! nop i don't. what i do though is basically, i use inkscape, and i open up a new canvas and set the size to "tabloid/ledger", but why that size? well, that's the one all print shops use by default, and you can fit two letter-sized images on tabloid-sized paper. and basically that's what i do! i just go around browsing the web for cool fanart and when i find one, i just put it there on the canvas and change its size so that it fits nicely on the page, and after that, i export it to jpg (but never ever forget to give the image 300 dpi please!! that gives it a much bigger and better resolution, ideal for printing).

after all that is done, i just drop the files in a usb and visit my nearest print shop and just tell them to print them in whatever material i want. and when i get home i just cut them with scissors or with an exacto knife.

and that's why graphic design is very fun!!

one nice tip i can give you is that if you want posters, print them!! it's easy if you find the pictures online.

that's what i did basically and it's very very cheap too so, i did not spend like.. a thousand dollars on posters, probably 10 dollars or less on all the printed stuff

 

yeah, that includes my water bottle, my laptop, and definitely my work corner!! it feels comfy and ok there

i browse e926 but i checked on e621 and yea.. it was still there.. thank you!! i don't mind or care if people share my art but having it be between a lot of.... extreme art is kind of uncomfortable

i understand, i do know about creative common licenses, hmm, i should license my art, i have to choose a license tho, but anyway!! i like browsing e926, the safe one

yea me too!! the night sky here is very nice because the stars are soo bright and the moon is bright too, that's the advantage of living in a calm city with not a lot of people!!

 

one of my artworks that i posted on reddit and here and on furaffinity too were posted on the e6 site (you know which one..), is that legal?? can they do that??? why is my art there if i don't even like the 18+ stuff nor draw it or have an account there... so it was posted without my permission, which, it's ok but that site is umm.. extreme

i know there's a takedown form but i want to know why, i'm curious

thank you very much

 

i was thinking about that recently, if that is a huge distance, does someone see the same night sky?? the same moon and stars?? because it's a big distance i think, it would make sense for them to maybe see another set of stars further away from the ones that i see!!

i was talking about this with my long distance husband recently, if at night, he sees the same stars i see!!!

a lot of people on lemmy have called me a troll.. or that they suspect i'm a troll.. i'm sorry but t's sad but i understand it, and i've had this account for 2 months now so.. no troll!!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

thank you a lot

i'm sorry, it was a shock for me at first, i should just learn about how that does not matter. thank you!! i'm not trolling or anything

 

my lover is a very high iq person (140) and he's so awesome and yea has a lot of knowlegde about a lot of things, but recently i took an iq test and i got 85, it sucks, i told him that i hope that does not affect any aspect of our relationship!! and i'm not going to sugar code it but honestly i think that difference does cause a bit of trouble in our relationship because i am aware that my low iq may cause problems or it could make him feel annoyed/bothered!! what can i do to improve that?? i love him so much and i don't want him to feel like i don't understand him, sometiems i don't a lot but, i always understand the general idea of the stuff he likes and i'm always seeking out more knowledge from him and the wider internet. thank you!!!

edit: i've always thought i was 100 or 150+ iq because i am interested in open source software, linux, foss, gnu, the fediverse, and reading, etc!! programming too

 

i'm not angry at social media or anything!! i just really want my own space in the web for expressing myself and for posting all my art and programming snippets. i could potentially build a website and use github to host it, is that good?? even if it's not a known website, i still would like it. again, i am not mad or sad with social media but.. i think some of it is taking a lot of my time!! i'm going to be honest tho, on my reddit account i just got to 1k karma!! because i've posted art and memes people have upvoted! but oh well, thank you

 

if the 90's were defined by classic retro videogames with pixel and "old" graphics, then why was music and images so high quality?? for example, in 1995 radiohead released "the bends", a cool album!! but it doesn't sound like it was made in 1995, because in 1995 videogames were pixelated and had blurry graphics, shouldn't it have been that way too?? if technology was that way in 1995?? why does that album sound so high quality and modern if it was made around the same time old retro games were made?? thank you!?

 

is that harmful for my future job opportunities?? what if a company wants to see my iq and they see 86? am i not able to do a lot of things?? i mean i like linux, i've programmed websites and stuff so i thought i had 130 or 120 iq!!! but oh well, what will happen?? now that i know my iq?? thank you!!

 

i was browsing youtube and i saw a video of a guy recording a short house tour of a house in an asian country, and in one of the rooms, he says, "this is a western style room". so it got me wondering, if a western style room is a room that is inspired on western architecture but it was made in a country that is not part of the west, would that mean that a modern house in mexico is "western style"?? are all houses in mexico "western style"?? because people say it's not the west but their architecture is spanish and european and stuff like that but since people and wikipedia say they're not western.. that would mean western style?? thank you!!!!

 

please hear me out fediverse!! this new service of the fediverse could be called "kniknak" and it could be similar to tiktok in the sense that it shows you short videos and comments and etc, but the main differences are the following: 1. connected threads of the whole fediverse, even regular posts on mastodon could become a short video 2. open source, decentralized, of course 3. comments are shown as threads instead of a regular comment section since it's connected to the fediverse. also i can remake the logo on inkscape and it would look even better, that'd be so awesome

 

usually when it comes to graphic design work (i'm an open source graphic designer and mayhaps even programmer but) i use inkscape of course, and gimp totally. i've gotten very good and learned so many stuff, but something i enjoy about inkscape and gimp is the fact that they still use ctrl-z for undoing and ctrl-y for doing again!!! that's classic and very linux-like and is pretty much the software saying "we will NOT accommodate our keyboard shortcuts to make our software feel LIKE adobe products", because adobe and all proprietary graphic design software uses ctrl-z and ctrl-shit-z for undoing and doing, but linux prevails and keeps ctrl-y.

when i was drawing a bit of stuff in krita, i found out that the shortcut for undoing was ctrl-shift-z, i know why this was made, because they want to accommodate the adobe people, the ones that like windows and proprietary software, they want to appeal to proprietary companies, that shortcut showed me that. and that is why i feel like krita is trying to be an open source software dressed as a proprietary software.

it's like when that american german spy asked for 3 glasses of liquid but held his fingers in the "not german" way.
