My TV is a Samsung from like 2009. The bezels are massive but I almost never use it anymore and the way everyone bitches about new teevees, I'm not sure I'll bother upgrading.

Also, someone I live with got a cheap-o projector for Christmas and I'm liking that.

That's true, I have to babysit the Indian ink a little. In general, using the brush requires more technique.

You're frankly too self aware to be that much of a POS.

You're probably going a touch too hard on yourself lol.

Ty. I can't really either lol.

Yeah, you are right, especially with tiny brushes that don't retain a lot of ink. But imo, it's still the most versatile & cheap tool out there. $14 US for a pure Kolanski hair brush (sable is also good) that will last me dozens, probably hundreds, of hours.

Btw, what does adding alcohol to ink do? Does it thin it out enough for brush pens? I never knew this.

Interesting, ty.

Are you referring to the over-diluted ink lol?

Np, glad you like it. I'm curious what you want to save it for?

I kind of like AI, sorry.

But it should all be freely available & completely open sourced since they were all built with our collective knowledge. The crass commercialization/hoarding is what's gross.

Oooh, Johnson getting sassy, goddamn!

I stopped watching television in like 2007. I'm not sure why anyone puts up with it.

I thought of a good metaphor even though this thread is basically dead.

I used to smoke cigarettes. In the State I lived in at the time, Oregon, they taxed cigarettes, but not tobacco. So I learned to roll my own & would make around 80 cigarettes for the equivalent price of a single pack of prefabs.

Now, because lawmakers aren't generally smokers, this flew under their radar for years. Until it didn't. Then they sewed that loophole up tight pretty quickly.

Right now Linux is vital to our infrastructure, but I don't think Lawmakers (& Oligarchs) really know that. I guess I'm a little concerned about what happens if they find out.
