Interesting. So once it’s effectively gesso’d, it’s as easy as painting on canvas… but much more long term stable/archival. Are people moving to aluminium more then? Is it cheaper than stretched canvas?

This is a remarkably beautiful painting nonetheless.

    Interesting.

    I asked because people have always perceived me as 10yrs younger, which has a lot of advantages.

    Even now, in my 50s, people think I’m in my early 40s.

    I too was insanely active, all the time. To the point where I have so many injuries from high risk sports a doctor said I’d technically qualify as disabled.

    Less active now (I can’t run as I could) so I expect I’ll be putting on weight soon.

    I frankly never expected to reach this age, was convinced I’d die young. Still a bit surprised by my own stamina - but having kids ages you a bit, and also keeps you active so it balances out.

    I just want to say, to no one in particular…

    Our ‘home’ MacBook was end of life / support recently (2017 intel). I backed up then nuked the OS and replaced it with Mint/Cinnamon.

    My wife (who is very definitely NOT technical in any way) has embraced this and carried on with no issues so far, with FF and LibreOffice. It’s been nearly 6mo and no home IT support required.

    Edit: I think the point I’m trying to make is: if she can crack on with most regular tasks that really boil down to browser + office tools, and not be overly bothered about what the OS is, then there’s hope for people to migrate - especially with how distros have become so accessible of late.

    Finally got my mini Mint sorted. (lemmy.world)
     

    Tried for half the weekend to get elementary to work, it just refused to install for reasons unknown.

    Gone with Mint for now.

    I like the hardware (an old Intel MacBook Air) and didn’t want it to go to waste.

    I’ll see how I get on with this desktop. Went feet first straight to bare metal because I couldn’t be bothered with dual boot. It was too much faff. Would value any insight from others who’ve found a lovely distro/DE combo with these tiny machines.

    Making my first moves away from proprietary software. Thanks largely to being inspired by you delightful folk.

    Genuine question about dreaming (lemmy.world)
     

    I couldn’t see anything in the rules, or previous posts on this topic so apologies if this is the wrong community to ask…

    …but my 10yr old boy just asked me to ask: “do people who have been blind from birth, when you dream, dream visual dreams, or dreams using other senses?”

    Many thanks for any feedback!
