Stray kitten report 4: Breaking news! Plot twist. Charlie wasn't alone...
He has a sibling, we suspect a little sister. Geminis! Also, a black mother. I knew it, but they were always both standing far far away, hiding, not even approaching, waiting the night to get food.
But it's changing, they are influenced by the behavior of Charlie (a lot of progress, esp. our play times). Today, I could approach little sis' too. However, the mother, still impossible! a real shadow!

Stray kitten report 2: yesterday, first petting session accepted! But as soon as the little one saw it was coming from my hand, it was a shock. (hilarious) We're making progress. No photos this time, so I sketched a quick comic to remember it and share with you.

Stray kitten report 3: Progress! Charlie ( yep, a name now, and also, pretty sure he's a little male) accepts gentle petting, sort of, though sudden moves and my phone still spook him. I tried to capture three video sequence, but it is still difficult.
He's now meowing for food in broad daylight, and that's a change over the last weeks: before, our 'meeting hour' was only at dusk or night. Our routine: eat, pet while eating, then play time chasing a stick. Then he walks back.

RE: https://digipres.club/@RoxPoNinja/117319585022581130
Here is an on-going effort of highlighting and preserving my digital paintings & webcomics for future generations by the BnF ( Bibliothèque Nationale de France, I could translate to 'National Library of France'). They contacted me approx. a year ago, and it's truly a huge honor and support. Thank you. Archiving open culture matters. 💙
Quoting
Brilliant presentation from @AlixB@piaille.fr & @BertrandCaron@digipres.club about the National Library of France's Formats policy, with a user case focusing on web comics

Stray kitten report: after a week to build trust, look where we are now: this little one's finally coming closer. Hopefully just the beginning!

TIL after 70 weekly comics:
Drawing faster, or a faster painting technique doesn't necessary lead to a better productivity and good ratio of artworks I love compared to my time spent on them with my stylus in hand. But I did the mistake of believing this, stubbornly, and for long.
However, a boring technique, even slower, but one you can split in steps, trust, and predict, eliminates many bottlenecks: freezing, endless redos and stress. This leads to a better productivity and peace of mind.

Thanks for the support! Funny thing I wanted to plug here: I've never received comments like that here on the Fediverse 
, but I get dozens of them, weekly, on the Meta platforms (Facebook/Instagram)...
I'm really grateful for how this community checks artists' work and actually verifies it's real human art before throwing random accusations.
This is my favorite place to share for a reason. 💜

For Instagram, my art is "Likely made with AI". Hard to be an artist in 2026...

Last review of the season, and let's go to the point: it's a bad model. I don't recommended this one. I'm not even submitting the video to Gaomon for review before posting because I know they would ask me to not post it (it happened in the past with another brand). But I think it should be also known, that's my role in reviews: cover the bad and the good.

I’m sharing a bit of my trip this week with my mobile Krita/KDE Neon Linux workstation. Tiny samples from the train, Wikimania conference, and the hotel room! Producing my weekly comic this way was challenging, but I’m really glad it worked out!

XpPen Artist Pro 27 Gen2 - review on GNU/Linux
While I wrapped up the video editing for my review of the massive XpPen 27" (coming soon on the channel), I started filming shots for the XpPen Artist 12" 3rd and... I just had to share this because it’s just too cute! I don’t regret choosing the pink model. 🩷

📝 Edit: "North Pole" → "South Pole".
Reason: As pointed on the comments (thank you), no penguins in the north. TIL! (src: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penguin#/media/File:Penguin_range.png )
I'm sorry. Yesterday I reshared Morevna's derivation animation without considering (because unaware) their support to Russian state propaganda during the Ukraine war (src: see https://awawa.club/notice/B8KQeteAjwfTJAYUEq or comments under my boost).
I let flattery, and my familiarity to this team blinds me, and boosted without studying it. That was a mistake.
To clarify: I don't support that AT ALL.
Thank you to those who pointed this out. I apologize for not thinking critically and will do better next time.
Replying to
@farbenstau@infosec.exchange "Ignisme!" 🤣
Bravo for the old references!
Pyrocircus sounds good. I have later episode already drafted, and her quest for this spell get an answer, I wrote "Ringus Pyrus" on my script, but I'll fix it for "Pyrocircus" way better. Thanks!
Replying to
@Darkroux@troet.cafe @teotwaki@mastodon.online Yes, I put this one and the "John Art" one and the "Father of AI" too (on the blog) because they were funny and still on the theme. These one made me smile.
Replying to
@xarvos@outerheaven.club 👍Yes, a direct reference to that, and also to the famous "Our house is on fire" quote of Greta Thunberg.

Replying to
@Mourioche@mastodon.social Totally, true, they are on my world, "Hereva". But I just don't want readers to focus on this "no penguin in north pole" fact if they know it, it can just break the immersion, and so, the little joke for them. 🙂
Replying to
@grim_elsewhere@lgbtqia.space @HauntedOwlbear@eldritch.cafe Hey, I haven't tested the third generation yet. But I have the Artist 12 3rd gen in my queue for test, so I'll quickly see what's different from the 2nd gen (the Artist Pro 16 gen2 has now a FLOSS udev-hid-bpf).
My assumption for https://www.xp-pen.com/product/artist-16-3rd.html : stylus will be recognized plug and play as a generic Microsoft Surface: it will work (coordinate/tilt/pressure) but hardcoded 2nd barrel button to an eraser mode. Button on the frame will not work. (1/2)
Replying to
@TopazRabbit@oldbytes.space Honestly, I never was able to "touchscreen" and "paint" at the same time on GNU/Linux with Krita.
Wayland/Qt/ and Plasma are still just a large pack of bug about it. A bit funny knowing some O.S. do this type of interaction like Ipad Pro since... 15 years almost?
But here, the touchscreen just froze and die as soon a stylus comes in proximity 😆 The hardware is good, the software... "Not there yet" as I say on the review.
Replying to
@grim_elsewhere@lgbtqia.space @HauntedOwlbear@eldritch.cafe (2/2) if I succeed at making something (udev-hid-bpf rule) for my Artist 12" gen3 (future test after the 27" Pro (gen2)) , this model https://www.xp-pen.com/product/artist-12-3rd.html , maybe getting the 16 3rdgen to work will not be a lot of work on top of this driver; same number of buttons, same wheel on the frame, same generation. It might only require to add in the rules the address of the device (that was like that for the 14, 16, 19, 27 gen2 src: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libevdev/udev-hid-bpf/-/blob/main/src/bpf/testing/0040-XPPen__ArtistPro16Gen2.bpf.c#L11 ).
Replying to
@irina@wandering.shop But this rule works on earth only, no? :) On Hereva, the world of Pepper&Carrot, they probably exist on the north-pole.
(note: Thank you! I had no idea about no pingouin on the north-pole 😅 🐧 🐧🐧🐧)

@arfisk@aus.social @arabine@piaille.fr Interesting (the groupement, not the pope part 😆 ), I'll investigate a bit this group/association and evaluate if it worth subscribing to it. Thank you for the link.
Replying to
@farbenstau@infosec.exchange @KevinFlynn@c.im Yes, it's rare, in four panel stories, I often make her talk or open mouth in reaction. 😊 Well found for the panel 3 of episode 30.
Thank you!Replying to
@raghukamath@social.raghukamath.com Oh great if it reached a point release of 13! I'll test it on their latest liveMedia and correct it, thanks for the info!
Replying to on tech.lgbt
@nina_kali_nina@tech.lgbt Good luck with that. If it makes you feel better, it still happens to me even though I'm 45 and have been drawing and painting every day since I was 11.
Here's a (unsolicited, sorry) pro tip: keep two sketchbooks. Use one for training and experimenting, secret, and use the other for fun drawing. Don't try in it to draw better or be more than your actual skill. Just enjoy expressing.
For a long time, I felt frustrated combining the two activities. So, I share this, now.
