THIS MADE ME SO HAPPY I DONT EVEN KNOW HOW PLEASE I ADVISE YOU GUYS TO DRAW ALONG WITH BOB ROSS IN MS PAINT IT IS AN EXPERIENCE I AM SO CONFUSED BUT PLEASED FUCKING DO IT
Bob Ross teaches you using layering and color theory, which are principles which work no matter what you paint with. Some materials won’t blend the same as oils obviously, but as Ross himself said, “you can paint with almost anything.”
Paint along with whatever you have, it’s great practice.

🇺🇲 Embark on a journey through the revolutionary history of the Apple Lisa—a groundbreaking computer that paved the way for modern computing as we know it!
🍏 The Apple Lisa, introduced in 1983, was a landmark achievement in the world of personal computing. Developed by Apple Inc., it was named after Steve Jobs’ daughter, Lisa. This innovative machine was one of the first to feature a graphical user interface (GUI) and a mouse, making it incredibly intuitive and user-friendly.
💻 The Apple Lisa was designed to cater to the needs of business professionals, offering advanced features and capabilities that were unparalleled at the time. Its GUI allowed users to interact with the computer using icons and windows, revolutionizing the way people interacted with technology.
💾 Under the hood, the Apple Lisa boasted impressive specifications for its time, including a Motorola 68000 processor running at 5 MHz, up to 2 MB of RAM, and a high-resolution display. It also featured innovative software such as LisaDraw, LisaWrite, and LisaCalc, which provided users with powerful tools for productivity and creativity.
💡 Despite its groundbreaking features, the Apple Lisa faced challenges in the market due to its high price tag and competition from other manufacturers. However, its legacy lived on, paving the way for future innovations in personal computing.
📈 The Apple Lisa may not have been a commercial success, but its impact on the industry was profound. Many of its features and technologies would later be incorporated into the iconic Macintosh, which would go on to become one of the most influential computers of all time.
🚀 Today, the Apple Lisa is remembered as a symbol of innovation and forward-thinking design. Its legacy continues to inspire generations of computer enthusiasts and serves as a reminder of the transformative power of technology. As we look back on the history of computing, let us not forget the pioneering spirit of the Apple Lisa and the role it played in shaping the digital world we know today.

Some time ago I was discussing with @moody@hj.9fs...
With the recent shitfest on 9fans ML I wanted to share the story of my journey with 9front.
It all started with the "A tour of ACME" video by rsc, I tried using acme for a while then got curious about the operating system it originated from. I looked for a distribution to install and ended with 9front which looked the most active and most documented (at the time it seemed to me 9legacy was not really maintained).
With 9front installed in qemu I started exploring the system, reading as much as I could in the man pages and the FQA to try to get a grasp of the system. Not being the smartest one I ended with some issues I could not understand and needed help. I then joined the (dreaded) #cat-v IRC channel asking my newbie/stupid questions. People there were nothing but kind and patient, trying to help me fix my issues. It turns out that people are willing to spend their time helping you as long as you show you made some effort yourself (which seems reasonable). As a thank you, I contributed a patch to the FQA to complete the documentation with the info I gathered from people helping me.
I started trying to write some code on 9front, quickly got a huge liking for the overall model and API and spent my time developing toy applications (fun fact, with a few exceptions I don't use any of them, I just like coding for a hobby). Each time I had a question, something I did not understand, I found people to help me fix my issues, enlighten me on some topics, etc.
It has now been 5+ years I started this whole journey, reading the ML, spending time on IRC and the grid. In all these years I have met some very smart people, seen many interesting discussions (some heated but that's what you get when people are passionate), the whole community has been nothing but great and friendly.
What I've been reading these past days on 9fans could not be farther from my experience, maybe people some time should contemplate they might be the actual problem...
TL;DR great community, would recommend...5 stars
1997 Snake Eyes - Random Photos of the Day
In 1997, the idea of a Snake Eyes figure with painted details was one of the great missing links from the vintage Joe line. Hasbro was quick to fill that gap with an updated Snake Eyes figure in the Stars & Stripes set. But, the best laid plans were quickly foiled when the 1985 Snake Eyes mold was not found. Hasbro was then left with an open slot in one of the three figure packs that were going to supplement the 8 figure boxed set. So, rather than nixing Snake Eyes altogether, they released a second repaint of the 1983 figure. These two figures had subtle details to differentiate them. But, in the end, it was a harbinger of things to come when it came to the Joe Team's favorite Commando.
Over the next few years, Hasbro would release a take on the original Snake Eyes 4 additional times. All offered something slightly different. But, with the overuse, the mold became passe. And, even today, most collectors are tired of Snake Eyes' classic look. But, these early repaints of Snake Eyes do have value. And, they are one of the few figures from the repaint era that can be stood among original 13 figures from 1983 and not look completely out of place.
