#ComputerGraphics #AndrewGlassner 2025-12-06T10:36:25Z (#115672179351468484) It was though year. I finished my PhD, yay! Now, I'm on vacation from my main job, as educator at Sesc, and yesterday I wound down some last freelance work obligations. I really need a break.

I want to rest, make some "prints" of my drawings for friends, go to my local museums and have coffee/tea with friends, and that's it!

Today we celebrate 18 years of our local #Python users group, #GruPySP, and I'm going to meet friends from #GaroaHackerClube, that's a great start :) 2025-12-04T12:32:10Z (#115661309905105316) Queria postar algo positivo sobre #SãoPaulo (vou ainda pensar em algo) mas no momento só consigo pensar na deprimente decoração de Natal de extremo mau gosto que a prefeitura espalhou pela cidade, e deve ter custado uma nota. 2025-12-03T10:46:35Z (#115655232401636271) Many thanks to the @pdfarranger@fosstodon.org people!
I recently had to deal with hundreds of pages being inserted as appendixes on my PhD thesis and it was a breeze (the PDF manipulation was a breeze not the thesis, mind you :blob_clown:)

#PDF #FLOSS 2025-12-02T11:56:54Z (#115649846606702031) Prof. Bigode mandou na outra rede:

"Lamento informar o falecimento do matemático catalão Claudi Alsina (1952-2025), foi dos maiores popularizadores da Matemática da España e do mundo. Alsina conhecido por seu humor refinado tinha uma vasta cultura, doutorou-se em Matemática pela Universidade de Barcelona e ao longo de sua vida acadêmica aproximou a Matemática de outras áreas do conhecimento, em especial a Arquitetura e o Design, fez parte da equipe que estudou os projetos de Gaudí para a reconstrução da Sagrada Família de Barcelona. Alsina era professor catedrático Universidade Politécnica da Catalunha, onde se aposentou, autor de mais de 50 livros sobre Matemática Recreativa, Cultura Matemática, Matemática para o Ensino Superior e para a Formação de Professores. 
Sou "bi-neto acadêmico" de Alsina que foi orientador de meus orientadores (de doutorado) e desde que o conheci há cerca de 30 anos tenho me inspirado em seu trabalho.
Para quem sabe do que estou falando, Alsina tinha número de Erdős = 2."

I wish they had a "download project" button to make it easy to move your project elsewhere. As they seem to be moving towards some "paid tier features", making it easy to take everything out would be nice, would feel less like putting on a risk of being inadvertently locked in. 2025-12-01T12:05:57Z (#115644219892883587) So, is there anyone here doing stuff with #InventFramework?

#nvidia #notEnron #IABubble 2025-11-23T21:11:11Z (#115601065313119482) The last few days I've been converting some charts to grayscale and adding letters to them in order to improve accessibility. Inskscape's "Replace Colour" extension made things much easier.

I wonder if I could one day try my hand at making an improved variation of that extension that could save and reload a dictionary of replacements to help apply them to multiple files...
Another idea would be to allow replacement color fills with patterns and vice versa! 

Let me save this on vault of ideas for the future :)

#EducationalGame 2025-11-15T12:16:56Z (#115553666104439458) I'm still looking for people, podcasts, events, talking about #Python without assuming everyone is a software developer or a "data scientist". 

Why are data journalists, type designers (Guido's brother!), Blender wizards, FreeCAD hackers, hobbyist game makers, casual automation buffs, robot tweakers, MicroPython enthusiasts, creative coders, educators, biologists, astronomers and other scientists, consistently ignored? 

Are we invisible? One of Python Brasil keynoters kind of just did that. My heart sank. Other talks, like the Art&FLOSS one, by Jim Schmitz, lessened my pain.
