I think it's the kind of essays that are in the "not even wrong realm", that yet manages to pull anyone reading this in the wrong direction. I'm not an artist even though I spend quite some time painting, so that may be

There is a Posca with a brush tip and good ink flow. The easiest to find is the Pentel, but does not flow that fast so you'd have to adjust the speed. So it might not be that easy, and require some experimentation...

Cool project, very inspiring! I'm wondering if this could be used to generate drawings using line weight by using a brush tip and adjusting the Z coordinates. The "dessins abrégés" (abridged drawings) are a great historical a

Did I forget? The US spying has been linked to explicitly screwing Europe of huge industrial contracts, the biggest one probably being a Boeing/Airbus competition. I don't see that invalidating anything, certainly not showing tha

This is patently false since there are anti-terrorist laws regulating the selling of encryption-related software. If a country is selling weapons to an armed group said country is rightly blamed for it. > Pegasus spyware is classified as

Of course, only criminals have something to hide. Although, I think this show how inverted the mentality is: you're expecting (dirty) spying to be between competing entities or outright enemies, not between allies. Unless allies aren&#

In that case, that means they have entirely failed. The very few people I've met who actually bothered with the books only made fun of how horrible they were to read and understand. I never even did open one myself! I always admired th

I like the approach, even though in practice I would not necessarily follow the suggested presentation. From my experience, most math courses start with the "dead" book definitions. Which is not the way mathematics are built: peo

I do wonder about that: it was also criticized for its jarring 3D effects (arguably, some of it due to artistic choices, but clearly not all of it), to the point where it was hot-fixed while it was still shown in theaters. So it might not b

Of course, people having control over the hardware and software that rule their lives is a net increase in natural rights. There is absolutely no natural justification for "intellectual property", since this travesty runs absolute

Sorry, that did not change anything. It's a bit late in Europe now, but don't hesitate to let me know about a beta.

I could see the connect stylus after refresh, but unfortunately it didn't seem to work, either on the Cintiq or the Intuos Pro. If there's some mailing list or a roadmap, I'll definitely be interested in checking out again in

Had some fun on the 9 one, and the experience almost feel like native software, quite impressive! I can't say much more as I'm on Linux, so pressure sensitivity does not work. Is it somewhere on a roadmap?

This seems like Corporate Memphis absorbing all facets of design. I'm surprised to not find any mention of how infantilizing this is -- childish is absolutely inappropriate. I have always not cared too much about aesthetics for any pro

This is a fairly common reaction, very similar to the debate surrounding Elden Ring's "outdated UI" to the uninspired, bland, extremely generic UI coming from "best practices". What is interesting is all the angry c

I realize reading this comment that I should not have responded to your other comment either. This is so uninformed and rude that it feels like low-effort bait. Which worked like that given how many replies it got.

Because of the added cost of living in Singapore? With a European salary it is unfortunately impossible to afford the cost, so it is nice to have it as a possibility.
