Ive recently gotten into painting and am looking for inspiration, so please hit me with your favorite artists. I’ve currently only done master copies and tutorials in the style of Van Gogh, but want to branch out. Unfortunately i didnt appreciate the required art appreciation class enough in college.
Probably Zdzisław Beksiński. Not because he paints nice things to look at but rather he paints things that some may call horrible in a very interesting way. I kind of think it makes me appreciated life in a way since it could be so much worse, but I’m not sure if this really describes why I like him. I think this is a collection of most of his paintings
Edit: For nice things to look at I recently took a closer look at Caspar David Friedrichs Landscape paintings.
Yesterday I accidentally learned that you can reposition the closed captions on YouTube videos. I waa at the Smartboard talking about how the cursor and my finger were a couple of inches apart, and I accidentally dragged the captions of a YouTube video that we were watching.
I also try to get along with a small amount of software and I also mainly stick with default configurations. It is a great feeling when setting up a new PC or a device that there is little need to install a bunch of software and mess with a lot of configurations just to get my learned workflow up and running. Therefore there also isn’t really a need to follow new software releases.
Der neue Raspberry Pi 5 ist kein klassischer Bastelrechner mehr. Er bietet so viel Leistung, dass er förmlich heiß läuft. Wir haben ihn getestet und sagen, für wen er sich lohnt.
Bin auch ein großer Fan der Pi Zero Reihe. Leistungstechnisch sollte spätestens mit dem Zero 2 da auch für die meisten genug vorhanden sein und mit den GPIO Pins kann man über HATs da ja auch alles drauf bauen was man mehr an IO braucht.
Es müssen ja nicht die Flügel getroffen werden. Wenn das passiert ist man denke ich mal tot, ob drinnen oder draußen. Wenn der Rumpf getroffen wird ist man drinnen vermutlich tot, draußen kann man sich aber in Sicherheit bringen, bzw wird evtl durch die noch intakten Flügel geschützt. Ist alles keine Garantie, dass man sicher ist, aber die Überlebenschancen unterscheiden sich.

I guess you mainly use Autocad for creating 2D sketches? Maybe Inkscape could already be enough for that. It’s not really made for engineering stuff but you can add plugins to add dimensions for example and make accurate drawings relatively easily.

Wenn manche Menschen nur mal so viel Energie darin investieren würden das Land nach vorne zu bringen wie sie in das Kreieren von Empörung stecken hätten wir einige Probleme weniger.
Hätte man sich irgendwie schon denken können, denn so penetrant wie immer wieder versucht wird das durchzudrücken obwohl es immer wieder scheitert muss da ja jemand großes dahinter stehen.
I feel like consuming any “performance enhancing” substance on a regular basis just leads to needing more and more of it for the same effect. So it would probably be better to use it for “special occasions” where you definitely need the effect. But I have no idea if this is actually how all that works.
If you’re new to FPV flying and unsure I can recommend getting the controller first and practicing in a simulator. it will save you a lot of money since your first crashes won’t cost anything.
it’s definitely harder than it may seem in videos. but I’ve seen people getting the hang of it in a few sessions in the sim. I’d say it you’re okay at flying in the simulator and close to actually buying a real done you could get FPV goggles and practice some more with them. it all depends on how determined you are too get into the hobby.

I read that some people on here go about it by blocking accounts that are repeatedly toxic. I like this approach since it directly improves your own feed and if a lot of people do it with time the reduced exposure these accounts get could improve the platform as a whole.
With so much note taking apps nowadays, I can’t understand why does anyone still write notes with pen and paper. You need to bring the notepad, book or that paper to retrieve that information, and most of the time you don’t have it in hand. While my phone almost always reachable and you carry when you go out. For those still...
I did take all my notes for university on pen and paper because I don’t have a laptop with a touchscreen and pen. But I was never quite happy, since I would lose some notes or not find something specific that I knew I wrote down somewhere. This semester I tried using Obsidian and I and it has been great so far. I am now able to search my notes by text and I can back them up somewhere safe. When I’m not on my laptop I take quick notes on my phone but the important ones will then later be transferred to Obsidian.

You now have 4 fully functional arms. How do you make use of your new capability?
Where do you get your information about new software?
I guess I’m becoming a dinosaur, and now I don’t know where to find out about new FOSS stuff being developed, when new releases are out, etc....
