📐 Entertain yourself to some chat, learn about making mascots, intricacies of design and vector graphics. 🎶 In the background, you can hear soothing music licensed under public domain or CC licenses with derivative clauses, to which I'll gladly provide sources.
Bilingual streaming. Most of the time, it's English - but let me know if you're into Russian: I'll keep communications in both languages.
Metastream is underway: today, we'll dive deep into creating a Viewer Character for use in my further streams. In summary, idea is very similar to #StreamAvatars - little creatures spawn and roam around on the bottom of the screen, reminding of the viewers in chat.
But I have some nuances which I wish to cover with #GodotEngine. 👾 It's smooth animations, and physics, and #Peertube#LiveChat plugin support, and partial viewer authorization... Woah! More of that in the separate stream, but right now let's concentrate on the design part in #Inkscape.
Today's unsolicited request for support comes from the Nashville Electric Service of #Tennessee.
I'm hoping that the person is new and doesn't know who does their IT support. Because the idea that a electric company is officially requesting help from a volunteer on the internet doesn't bode well for their infrastructure.
(They were asking about an internal #inkscape extension which I can't possibly know anything about)
From time to time I get private messages from people who want help, and I have to let them down because I can't provide private #inkscape help without a paid contract.
But the below response shows the persistent confusion about what #opensource projects are and what responsibilities the people who work on them have to the general public. (i.e. a commons with people in it and practically none at all)
How we educate people about what #oss / #foss is and have support for folk is an open question.
Mannaggia… sto lavorando sugli adesivi per i tappi del #GiocoDeiTappi e per fortuna che la mia frequentazione di video di meccanica mi ha allenato a una certa precisione: sto misurando a centesimi di mm.
J'avais envie de lui faire une caisse en bois, pour me venger, et de lui dire "Tu vois cette caisse... ton temple grec il est dedans..."
Mais bon...c'était faire le taf 2 fois. 😜

@inkscape has quickly become one of my favourite design tools. The "Power stroke" live path effect allows you to turn a simple curvy stroke into a dynamic, sweeping form.

Took some time today to finally change the font on my TOS-movies era screens from the inaccurate 'Jefferies' I was using before (left), to the appropriate 'Microgramma' (right).
Was working today on kind of an entry piece for Community Design Team: a logo and new mascot for #Bootc (special type of container).
His name is Bootseef and he's ready to fly through updates! 🚀🚀 Thanks to Madeline Peck and Design Team for the sketches, sources and color choices that inspired me. 👋 I enjoyed doing this particular mascot the most.
@fedora.design@peertube.linuxrocks.online and #CommunityDesignTeam have lots of work on their plate, so I invite aspiring and designers by trade to have a looksie-look in their GitLab issues. @fedora has engineering and other teams worth their gold, making software great, as well.
When the #shapeBuilder was in development in #Inkscape last year, I immediately saw it was useful for selecting the pattern lines in sewing patterns, like neckline options, and for a while, that was it.
But since then, I often use it to join broken paths together, and found it's good for joining back post-alterations shapes too, so less to no tracing is needed.
Would be cool to be able to include empty spaces between the paths in the future; still needed some cleaning ;) #projectorSewing
