kzimmermann, 7 months ago #TIL about #OpenClipart - a curation project of CC0-licensed clip arts (that is: #publicdomain) that apparently has been around since 2004. I know where my next drawings and diagrams for presentations will be coming from! https://openclipart.org/

kzimmermann, 7 months ago Hmm... I wonder if by linking to OpenClipart from here I accidentally DOS'd it somehow Like a fediverse version of slashdotting some site?

kzimmermann, 7 months ago But the real mind-boggling part of it? Remixing. #Openclipart encourages users to take existing cliparts and edit, mash or remix them at will to create new ones and explicitly shows you the parts used! This is the spirit of #remix culture right here! :D #freeculture screenshot showing how the previous clipart is actually a remix and modification from 6 other existing cliparts. Openclipart encourages remixing and sharing!

kzimmermann, 7 months ago Gotta love the obvious bias the curators have from some of these cliparts... for example, here's what a search for 'windows' yields in #openclipart xD Gotta love #freeculture and #freesoftware! Windows 10 logo (baby blue back, white squares) but with a pyramidal "all-seeing-eye" peeking in from behind the window. Implying Windows 10 is a way to let people spy on you Promo-looking picture of Windows 10 with an "all-seeing-eye" for the "0" and the text: One product Family. One Platform. One Store. One all-seeing-eye. Implying Windows 10 spies on you.
