Ha voilà! Finally, a bold sponsorship for a channel about digital painting with Free/Libre and Open-Source Software!

What should I reply? 😆

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 😔

Last April, I left my Twitter account, but without deleting it, to keep more than 10 years of posts for archiving (tutorials, brushes, threads, etc...). I also wanted to occupy the namespace to avoid seeing an account doing impersonation. Then I uninstalled the app, stopped reading my TL, and put all this in the background...

But when a friend told me yesterday that it was a good thing I had left Tw early, I felt bad that I still had that dormant account.

I deleted it as soon as I got home.😺

🐧 I wrote a new blog entry listing all the changes I made to turn the Lenovo Yoga 370 into my mobile GNU/Linux digital painting device. It's long because it contains detailed instructions for beginners. I hope it is helpful.

Ps: not sponsored or an adv: the machine is from 2019.

A photo of the Lenovo 370 Yoga device, running Fedora with a digital quick painting of Carrot in Krita done in the train. The keyboard on screen is 'onboard' and the system settings shows the Fedora logo. A terminal windows has 'Hello World!' written on it.
A photo of tweaks and DIY I do on the top of a Wacom Bamboo Ink stylus. Label: - Dots of varnish to feel the buttons - I removed the metalic part at the end. - Textured tape.

@Bidgehop @MariaLiv

Maria: you can read about that on:
https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.en ;

1. "The licensor cannot revoke these freedoms" → so you can't privatize or lock it. You can sell it as Bidgehop wrote, I'm fine with this.

2. Regarding agreeing on art display to serve the opinions of someone else or not; the license also requests "You may do so in any reasonable manner, but not in any way that suggests the licensor endorses you or your use." So reusing doesn't mean I endorse the talk, etc...
