Yes, I am. Depending on whom you base your ideas on what art is you can defend the case that art has two main components - its conceptual (the political or other ideas of the artist) and its perceptual part (the craftsmanship).

In this case the conceptual part of the work is completely removed, leaving only the craftsmanship. I see no problem in sharing this, and I see no possible slippery slope here.

In short, just because someone is a fascist does not mean they can't be a good craftsman, and should not be seen and analyzed. Take for example Adolf Dassler's Adidas.

Quite frankly, I would also love to see what the original cartoon looks like. Not because I would agree with it, but because I want to know how extreme rightwingers represent me (or us, I guess). I want to know how their propaganda looks like. And I personally believe we should all know and care about it, if we want to combat it successfully.

I'm mainly using Budgie lately, and its quite fast, even on older hardware. I would say it feels faster than cinnamon (and much more pleasant to work with imo), but unfortunately it's very unstable.

What I did at the beginning of learning Python, after learining the basics was just to think of a project that is interesting to me and start implementing it.

For example, you want to create a web login system. You'll have to read up on web frameworks, databases, hashing.

You want to create a simple game, you'll have to familiarize yourself with pyglet, maybe multiprocessing, maybe opengl.

You just want to crunch some numbers? You'll quickly find the need for numpy and numba so that you don't have to watch the paint dry.

I don't know if that's the correct way, but go ahead, experiment and learn along the way. Maybe you'll find out you enjoy it better that following steps of a tutorial.

Not only that. If all you need to deal with are still images Inkscape, Krita and to some extent GIMP are quite enough for my students, and I teach at an art university.

iirc the firefox javacript interpreter is much slower than chrome's. I guess the lag is most noticable in JavaScript heavy sites?

If you're looking for efficiency, nothing beats a static website.

It's not because of play store. It's because not being on f-droid generally means an app is not foss. That's why I avoid connect as well.

You're probably right. I should go check out the source at some point.

I've always wanted to run a media server (Jellyfin, not Plex), but thought you need something more capable to have a good experience. Am I wrong?

You can do plenty with any old paperweight. The difficult part is thinking if what you need it to do and if that thing is worth the higher electricity usage of older tech.

So I guess that it only works for pictures directly hosted on Lemmy instances? Or does it work with third party image hosts like imgur?

I'm sorry about the stupid question, but how does connect compress the images? Is it on a server somewhere that compresses them remotely and sends you the smaller file, as that is the only way I can think of to reduce network usage.
