Last week I posted an article on the symbolism and artistic intents found within the iconic painting for Ultima IV, Quest of the Avatar (there's a lot).

On a whim I decided to send the article directly to the artist, Denis Loubet, who lives in Austin, Texas. I didn't expect a response.

HE WROTE ME BACK
Here is the article, and his detailed response posted below:

Enjoy!

all this panic over xz v5.6.x and my macOS mojave brew install won't even upgrade past 5.4 😎

for the first time in 10 years, brew's obsession with only working well on the latest macOS has saved my ass.

@vga256 Either way, macOS is also not vulnerable. libc in macOS is not glibc.

whoa, poway got some excitement this week

thieves stole a car, drove it demolition-man-style through the front door of poway weapons and gear, and looted 80 guns, then tried to sell them in vegas

I'm at Rupp Arena in Lexington, KY for the state STLP (Student Leadership Program) championships. Students present their projects which describes using technology in productive and engaging ways.

I made this observation a month or two ago when I taught a class to the STLP kids, but now that I'm here I'm even more convinced that has lost the next generation. My kids use at home and Chromebooks at school, and almost every kid here is using a Chromebook.

A poster board from one of the projects after the kids had walked away. It describes how they used technology to make mental health resources available to other students in the aftermath of a student death.

@gerowen …and then they get to Uni and use a Mac…and then they go work for a corporation and have to use Windows.

Question -

If you paid for my TopTracks app ($5) - would you be annoyed if I make it free?

I sell so few copies that I think I prefer that to listing myself as a trader and complying with the EU requirements.

@dimsumthinking Do it.

1980 was a great year for releasing a punk rock long player

16 releases, all of which have cult status

Do you have a favorite or is your favorite LP missing?

@flockofnazguls @historyofpunkrock They all have the punk spirit! (You’re of course right: all perfect albums.)

You need to talk to other people about this year’s American election. Some people can make calls and ring doorbells. If you’re not one of those people, please just even talk to one person that you know. https://mastodon.social/

@zoocoup This goes for every country outside of the US. 7-Elevens are actually nice!

marczak,
@marczak@mastodon.social avatar

@zoocoup Yeah. They’re /really/ nice. As in, you actually want to go there. Clean, good products (even many vegan ones—including the hot dogs!!!). Will very often also be a place that sells mass-transit passes, so, you may have to go there.

Has anyone tried and liked T-mobile 5G #internet service?

marczak,

@jongary Yes, and is fine in my area. Generally “just works” internationally. T-Mo gets hacked every month, if that kind of thing concerns you.

@jongary oh, heh - got it. Sorry - I have not used their home internet 5g service.

hello friends! I'm looking to commission an artist to make an animal illustration for a jigsaw puzzle similar in style to our Herding Cat Puzzle. Do you know anyone? (Anne who created the art for our cat puzzle is not available sadly) https://n-e-r-v-o-u-s.com/blog/?p=8637#mastoart

@stevelord I really loved BeOS when it came out, and would really love to see where I would be today had it been able to progress over that time. Haiku was really cool last time I checked, but it feels frozen in time. I’d love to know your opinion of how it’s doing now.

marczak,
@marczak@mastodon.social avatar

@stevelord Sounds good. I’ll have to give it another go.
