@pablovazquez I prefer no. 3 because it's easier to get 1,1,1 with the mouse and leaves lots of space for tweaking a color with the same hue.

@LPS Me too. I tweeted from the blender conference account about the fact that we relayed the news on mastodon but it drowned in the middle of all the conference tweets so it didn't get any attention.
This whole thing is fairly new and was done on a very tight schedule. I'm sure it will be better next year (as well as the fediverse software).

What if we could follow hashtags on mastodon? Would you guys like that?
If so, join the discussion here:

@sylvia_ritter Indeed! Time to watch a good animal documentary while eating some vegan food for those who aren't used to it.

@sybren Yep. I thought about you because you posted about Rainmakers, the short documentary on Vimeo.
And as you see this project in Burkina was made in collaboration with the Ecosia search engine.

When you grow up, you realize you could really use a time machine to go back to your moments of immense stupidity and bad behavior to punch your younger self in the face.
But right now, that kind of moment happened so recently I could just punch myself right away.

@sybren does this look familiar?

@sylvia_ritter Your sweatshirt looks gorgeous, I generally love your art and I'm glad to support libre software users. However, given the materials used and the lack of information given on the Ink Strategies website about where their fabric comes from and whether it has any focus on respect for factory workers, it seems the end product stands quite low on eco-friendliness and fairtradeness, but perhaps you would contradict me? Do you know if the polyester is recycled for example?

@LPS Do you mean volunteering for uploading Blender videos on their Peertube account?

"so in the mean time, enjoy your steak, but also respect it"...

Let me just rephrase the ending:
"...so in the mean time, why not have a go at a vegan diet? Plenty of people have made the switch and are very healthy and happy about it. Also it's much easier than you probably imagine"

@sybren hmm, I didn't see he put an email link on his website. My bad.

@LPS I'm not sure it's possible in a non destructive way. I think youtube has its own in-house closed-source compressing algorithm so the mp4 you download from there is not the same as the one you uploaded. However there are some services on which you can upload an uncompressed video and they upload it on several video sharing websites. Not sure there's a FOSS one though.

@pollomostro haha, I feel you. Don't try to gain weight for that though. Being a potential donor isn't a goal in itself.

@ted But they're flying to their freedom!
No but for real, I imagine being transported in a container on horseback (whatever the hell that is) is more turbulent and may disorient the fish, while a plane has a much smoother route. That's my guess.

@pollomostro That's amazing, please let us know how it was

@wilw Pretty odd. Mind telling us what they are reporting more precisely ?

@ea Amazing ! How do you connect to the internet from the middle of the ocean? Do you use a satellite dish and connect directly to the satellites?

@joaompfp according to my research the name of the original game is unknown. A copyrighted version of this game is called "Dingo Disc". You could also call it a suspended version of the Bamboleo. But game librarians mostly call this non-copyrighted version "Big wooden balance game" (grand jeu d'équilibre en bois) because they're very creative 😎
