With Just A Few Lines, This Artist Creates Captivating Animal Portraits Full Of Emotion (25 Pics)
[Shared]ShouXin (手訫) is a contemporary artist from Henan, China, known for his minimalist animal sketches. His drawings, mostly of cats and dogs, use simple lines and empty space to create expressive, lifelike images. Instead of focusing on small details, he plays with contrast—bold lines, soft shading, and sharp edges—to bring out movement and personality.
The image is a pencil sketch of a cat, rendered in grayscale. The cat is depicted in profile, facing to the right, with its head and part of its body visible. The cat's fur is represented by a series of horizontal lines, creating a sense of texture and depth. The lines vary in density and shading, with darker areas suggesting shadows and lighter areas indicating highlights. The cat's eyes are open and alert, with a focused gaze. The background is plain and unadorned, emphasizing the cat as the central subject. The overall composition is simple, with the cat occupying the right side of the frame, leaving ample negative space on the left. The drawing style is realistic, with attention to detail in the cat's features, such as the ears, eyes, and whiskers. The artist has skillfully used shading techniques to convey the cat's form and the play of light on its fur.

In my eyes, the whole thing with calling those whites "refugees" is rediculous. First time I heard it i thought it's joke. For South Africa, those guys aren't a loss.
Frankly, if I were the South African government I'd deport all whites to the US, seeing how keen the Trump admin is to welcome them, also because they don't belong there anyway. Win-win.
Trump is a perfect representation of the complete pieces of shit many Americans are. They are sexist, racist, homophobic, and hate anyone that is not like them. We have made little progress in America.
Sembra proprio che avremo un'altra applicazione su cui poter guardare le mappe e che si chiamerà CoMaps. Il sito esiste già: comaps.app/ ma l'applicazione non è ancora disponibile.
Una parte della comunità si è "ribellata" e ha scritto una lettera aperta indirizzata agli sviluppatori di Organic Maps dove chiedevano maggiore trasparenza e criticavano la possibile svolta "for-profit" di Organic Maps.
Eh diciamo che non è facile mantenere un progetto aperto e di comunità in un contesto in cui le alternative a venture chiusi e aziendali sono poche 🤷 Spero che riescano bene a sviluppare l'alternativa o che proprio la questione faccia rientrare dalla deviazione OM e con più garanzie tangibili (perché è un'app efficiente che sarebbe un peccato perdere...)

I can’t quite get my head around this “no, actually you don’t always need alt text” thing. Seems to go against everything a certain type of Mastodon user yells at other Mastodon users about. Do they even know about this rule?! dewp.space/@matze/114513124884…
@ricmac@mastodon.social @luke@mastsocial.de No alt text is okay more often than it first seems. See also: https://www.w3.org/WAI/tutorials/images/decision-tree/
In my opinion you need alt text for images that are integral to the content of the website, and do not need it for presentational and decorative images because it needlessy wastes time of screen reader users. Media that people upload on Mastodon is by definition always content, but on different websites you might have e.g. stock images that don't mean anything at all.
School districts across the United States were woefully unprepared for ChatGPT's impact on education, according to thousands of pages of public records obtained by 404 Media.
