Can anyone explain to me the difference between the Strathmore Series 300 Drawing and Strathmore Series 400 Sketch papers? They seem highly similar in weight, but I'm not sure why you wouldn't be able to complete full drawings on the 400 Sketch paper when they're similar gsm.

uhhh tags so this might actually reach some people,,, #artsupplies #strathmore #artistpaper ?

So, I finally got a mobile app to the "good enough to consider publishing" stage.

There's only one problem. I can't decide whether or not I actually want to publish it.

Most of the reason why I wont just publish it is because doing so takes effort, and one needs a specific motivator to do so.

I'm a #freesoftware advocate, so, why don't I do it for that reason alone?

Because I'm jaded.

I know no one in my real life who cares in the slightest about *gestures vaguely* much of anything. I live in an anti-intellectual and anti-academic culture, here in #Alberta. You can't expect anyone to care about anything beyond the changes at the local Tim Horton's.

BTW, for those who are following along, I no longer live in #Calgary, I live in #Strathmore now... people are much friendlier, but the culture is so much more old-school conservative.

And then there's the free software/libre culture movement online.

We're so small, you'd think we were dead. The folks on Reddit worship the fungus between Richard Stallman's toes. No one cares about the movement, only the guy who started it.

Lots of folks either lack social skills or are just plain jerks, or don't really talk at all.

I guess what it boils down to, is that I have no like-minded friends, and that makes it really hard to want to actually share my software, especially if it's going to lead to some random guy on my Codeberg repo, telling me that I'm an idiot and must implement his out-of-scope feature or he's gunna harass me and my family...

For the love of libre culture, how do I keep my sanity??
