Day 46 of #The100DayProject since I’m doing all old Inktober prompts of all previous years in one go, some prompts come back repeatedly. Not so long ago it was #dizzy and now once again. This time I’m going with #DizzyGillespie the famous trumpeter #PastInktober #FountainPen #WaterColour #Midori #InkyParker51
Day 45 of #The100DayProject Many years ago we were on Curaçao and the kids found these #coral rocks on the beach. Since you’re not allowed to take them, I took a picture and every time I see the picture I’m amazed at the beautiful natural patterns these have. #PastInktober #FountainPen #WaterColour #Midori #InkyParker51

FOSS NEWS
Mozilla launches Thundermail, a Gmail alternative email service with @thundermail email addresses, and Thunderbird Pro, which includes appointment scheduler, file sharing tools, and AI-powered features (Thunderbird Assist):

(POV it will be killed off after a short time like other Mozilla products lol. There's already Proton Mail, a privacy-focused mail service from a company with a better track record, more than 100 million users, also Tuta for those who don't mind it not being fully FOSS, so I don't really think Thundermail has a shot here, but nice try regardless, at least they try to have some source of income other than Google.)
Firefox 137 released with HEVC playback support on Linux, ability to identify all links in PDF files and turn them into hyperlinks, new options in the Browser Layout section under General settings (vertical tabs, show sidebar); some progressively rolled out features: sign PDF documents, calculator feature for address bar (now you don't have to open the Console tab of dev tools for that lol), tab grouping:

Day 42 of #The100DayProject two ways to interpret #rip. I went through my old cemetery pictures and found this one. I don’t remember the story, but stories of loyal dogs even after the person who had them passes away are abundant. They are so loyal

Day 41 of #The100DayProject these little animals #dig in our garden. My husband is not so happy, but I think it’s good for the biodiversity.

Day 40 of #The100DayProject
Sketch only today of buddies for #buddy 25/2020 #PastInktober #FountainPen #Midori #InkyParker51
Day 39 of #The100DayProject #PastInktober With my oldest two I made a picture of them when they were still a baby amidst all toy animals, like the E.T. scene. When I tried to do that with my youngest, the older two insisted to join the photoshoot and #hide among the toys. It’s one of my favorite pictures from their childhood. I grabbed the wrong #FountainPen and it didn’t have waterproof ink in it. Oh well it gives nicely muted colours

Day 38 #The100DayProject #music my DH plays the Cello. Do you play an instrument? #PastInktober 27/2020 #FountainPen #WaterColour #MixedMedia #Midori #InkyParker51
Day 36 of #The100DayProject my friend had expected a more adventurous shoes sketch but I’ve been having this on my list for quite a while. Not an exact copy. But heavily inspired by Andy Warhol’s #shoes #PastInktober #FountainPen #WaterColour #Midori #InkyParker51
Day 35 of #The100DayProject The rumor that the Mayas thought 2012 would be the end of the world was not true. They did however think it was the start of a new cycle called bʼakʼtun lasting roughly 394 years. I remember telling colleagues in 2015 that we were heading towards a second dark ages. I’m convinced with all the denial of science that we are fully I. It now. The Mayans were imo not very wrong with their prediction…

Day 34 of #The100DayProject #PastInktober prompt is #Crawl and made me think of creepy crawlies. I don’t like them however they make great objects to observe and draw. #FountainPen #WaterColour #Midori #InkyParker51
@itsfoss Does make sense in a way... @brave is the only cross-platform #FOSS browser that comes with an #adblocker and non-Big Tech search engine out of the box. Defaults matter, @mozillaofficial : ) I still support the your good stuff, btw.
Hopefully, #Midori by @astian can be the second one especially as it's not based on Chromium.
Day 32 of #The100DayProject #Mindless is often used in a negative way. But in this present decline of civilisation wouldn’t it be nice to just have an empty head, no worries #PastInktober #FountainPen #WaterColour #Midori #InkyParker51
First look Midori Browser with browsing VPN.
Midori Browser with VPN.... coming soon.
Behind all this there is @opensuse being the best distro :-)
Day 31 of #The100DayProject
#Bait made me think of bait for fish, so initially I wanted several rows of bait fish, but then my thoughts drifted to what bait is used on people. In the #FountainPen world for sure it’s limited editions. I’m a big sucker for those 
. The next upcoming LE that is gathering a lot of attention is of course TCMC’s FP with Esterbrook. I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many people enthusiastic over the same pen #PastInktober #WaterColour #Midori #InkyParker51
Day 30 #The100DayProject No matter how #freeze cold it is outside, I always go out in freshly fallen snow. You can wake me up in the middle of the night for this #PastInktober #FountainPen #WaterColour #Midori #InkyParker51
