"A power system that is already prone to shortages like those currently forecast on Friday is facing never-before-seen demand from electric vehicles (EVs) and big data centres.
Vector is preparing for it - but the lack of laws and regulations and an Energy Ministry are in its way."
Introducing Friction 0.9.6 Beta 1. This release includes several changes to the user interface and some additional new features. We are now in feature freeze, please report any regressions etc.
Drawings inspired by Goldfrapp's Felt Mountain. Track No 6, Felt Mountain. For Felt Mountain's Felt Mountain, I have drawn a felt mountain, which symbolises a felt mountain.
Oooh, #GraphiteEditor has the node graph functionality, which allows you to compose vector objects from the primitives like fill, stroke, transform and live filters in a visual manner!
Node graph interface and filters both give me this nice break-out I needed after LPEs in #Inkscape. Don't get me wrong: that program is THE legend, developers are masters of vectors, and it's purely native Gtk toolkit on which application is built. Right now, their priority is CMYK support, so follow if you're into printing.
I just love to experiment with shiny new software that's #OpenSource, especially one that uses #RustLang and #web to its advantage.
Watch 'em apply circular repeat filter on a mere line to produce this fun sparkle effect. (It is Graphite's official channel, by the way. Wish they were on Mastodon?)
@inkscape isn't just a beauty and powerful application for #artists, but with extensions like #gCODEtools and #LinuxCNC it becomes a free & open hub for #CAD & #CAM projects. It only requires the investment of a @Raspberry_Pi 5 to set this up. Amazing that it works so much better than #Adobe#Illustrator while cheaper as an iMac (including the CNC machine), isn't it?
A few months ago I tried to track down the origin of this ADORABLE emote, and ran into dead ends and deleted discord threads. Ultimately I decided to re-create it in vector format so there's a high-quality version if anyone wants to use it.
Thanks to everyone who helped my search! If you do know the source, I'd love to credit them, and if they want me to remove this I will.
