Currently experimenting with a simple way to allow sharing of account lists following the recent discussion.

This would optionally create a list and/or temporarily follow hashtags in addition to just following the listed accounts, allowing to kickstart the reading experience of new users.

Alvy Ray Smith isn't a household name like #SteveJobs or #GeorgeLucas. However, for a small but very international group of #CGI creators, #geeks and #cyberPunks (include me here) he is a legend. His contributions to alpha channels are highly respected in the #mograph community.

We illustrated and posted about Richard Shop and SuperPaint earlier, but I didn't mention that's that what Alvy Ray Smith did at #Xerox #PARC before he joined #Lucasfilm. Later he became co-founder of #Pixar (Dissney) and #Altamira (Microshit).

Somehow you could still be among the first hundred people who watched him talking about "A Biography of the Pixel"...

Our portrait of him doesn't need alpha channels, since it's created with most powerful #SVG #vector #design software
@inkscape and #FOSS only.

¥€$, that's right! There is absolutely NO involvement with commercial IP propaganda tools like #Adobe #Illustrator or #Canva #AffinityDesigner. So there is no obstacle for You to use #Inkscape, too.

Btw. #FreeSoftware is focused on interfaces for human artists, not #AI_Art scams #CopyrightInfringement #AdobeStock #ArtHarvest 4 #shareholder & #BS #ToSsr #dataScraping #finalSolution #clusterFuck
#total_surveillance #capitalism like Adobe Incorporated.

Oriole in the Greenery by Debra Martz
We were walking the trails at the Bentsen Rio Grande Valley State Park when this #Altamira #Oriole flew in along the edge. I could not have asked for it to land in a more perfect place. This state park is located in Texas along the border of Mexico and is a favorite place of mine to go birding when in the area.

🔺 El profesional humanitario Roger Calabuig buscó durante años algo que uniera a personas de distintas creencias, culturas y razas.

🔺Encontró como respuesta el arte rupestre, común a todas las personas y presente desde los orígenes de la #Humanidad hasta la actualidad.

🔺 La visión particular de Calabuig se refleja en su colección de relatos «Los sapiens se van a casa».

I’m thinking about adding a feature to my app allowing users to easily share their accounts with other people via QR code, similar to how handles this. Basically, scanning a code would bring up the app and allow following directly.

Would this be useful for anyone?
