I know why you say that, but I thought it is cyber-sexy.

Tilting at digital windmills.

I feel you, uncredited 80s artist.

Right, I think this is like a lot of history. How it's presented in the media affects our perception of reality.

I hope to get to see this artwork in person some day.

1898 saying: AFCAB

 

Alfons Maria Mucha, known internationally as Alphonse Mucha, was a Czech painter, illustrator and graphic artist, living in Paris during the Art Nouveau period, best known for his distinctly stylized and decorative theatrical posters, particularly those of Sarah Bernhardt. He produced illustrations, advertisements, decorative panels, and designs, which became among the best-known images of the period.

Interesting collection of countries working together, defending freedoms. Maybe again some day...

I don't know where I am
And I don't care
I just stop at the sight of you
Standing there

I mean to tell you
Nobody loves you more
I mean to tell you
Nobody loves you more

Seems simple.

  1. Stop taking Google's money.
  2. Get about 80-90% smaller.
  3. Hire a CEO for an appropriate salary.
  4. Make Firefox and Thunderbird great.

And find ways to pay for #4, of course.

We'd all love to live in a world where copyright and crime are separated but right. I love Lemmy and don't want it to become locked down / censored all the time. We censor ourselves a little, to avoid large scale probs like lawyers for our admins.

When in doubt, just follow the rules on: @[email protected]

I started with the movies, but I only had about 60 DVDs. I start ripping one on Saturday morning, then go do something else. Easy peasy and jellyfin does the rest.

Not cool man. Keep that offa lemmy so we stay clear of trouble.

Look at my ETA. I already watched the movie.

He was 34 when he started this.

Today I rode my bike, made a sandwich and whined about movies on Lemmy. I feel like I'm maybe not at Michaelangelo's level yet.

 

The Sistine Chapel ceiling (Italian: Soffitto della Cappella Sistina), painted in fresco by Michelangelo between 1508 and 1512, is a cornerstone work of High Renaissance art.

The Sistine Chapel is the large papal chapel built within the Vatican between 1477 and 1480 by Pope Sixtus IV, for whom the chapel is named. The ceiling was painted at the commission of Pope Julius II.

You jest, but reading the user reviews on RT, I can tell a lot of the jokes in this film are lost on the gen-z crowd. Shame, really. But I guess it's inevitable.

 

And they wonder why we walk with a pegleg....

(And that "watch similar movies" thing can go to hell too)

ETA:

Jellyfin is great, yes.

 

As you prepare for the cold months to come, you can be glad you’re not a painted turtle—the species evolved to be freeze-tolerant and hatchlings spend winter just chillin’, literally, in sandy burrows—or a grotesquely engorged ant about to make the ultimate sacrifice to feed the colony. Instead, forage some of the last sweet berries, get your mind right for the dark winter, and enjoy these stories about preparing for the cold.

The Art Students - Louis Lang (1871) (pixtagram.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com)
 

Louis Lang (29 February 1812 – 6 May 1893) was a German-American painter.

His father, a historical painter, wished him to become a musician, but his taste was for art. At the age of 16, he executed pastels with success. He studied at Stuttgart and Paris, and settled in the United States in 1838, his studio being for several years in Philadelphia.
