submitted 22 hours ago by perishthethought@lemm.ee to c/artporn@lemm.ee

Alexei Arkhipovich Leonov[a] (30 May 1934 – 11 October 2019) was a Soviet and Russian cosmonaut and aviator, Air Force major general, writer, and artist. On 18 March 1965, he became the first person to conduct a spacewalk, exiting the capsule during the Voskhod 2 mission for 12 minutes and 9 seconds. He was also selected to be the first Soviet person to land on the Moon although the project was cancelled.

Leonov was an accomplished artist whose published books include albums of his artistic works and works he did in collaboration with his friend Andrei Sokolov. Leonov took coloured pencils and paper into space, where he sketched the Earth, becoming the first artist in space, and drew portraits of the Apollo astronauts who flew with him during the 1975 Apollo–Soyuz Test Project.[

Seeing this makes me wonder: could astronauts fly down from a ship to the lunar surface? How much reverse thrust would you need to keep from crashing into the surface?

Two doors and 18 feet long, rocket fins and half-covered rear wheels.

Yeah, that's sexy.

Tsukioka Yoshitoshi is widely recognized as the last great master of the ukiyo-e genre of woodblock printing and painting. He is also regarded as one of the form's greatest innovators. His career spanned two eras – the last years of Edo period Japan, and the first years of modern Japan following the Meiji Restoration.

Like many Japanese, Yoshitoshi was interested in new things from the rest of the world, but over time he became increasingly concerned with the loss of many aspects of traditional Japanese culture, among them traditional woodblock printing.

Swiss, 1741 – 1807

Maria Anna Angelika Kauffmann, usually known in English as Angelica Kauffman, was a Swiss Neoclassical painter who had a successful career in London and Rome. Remembered primarily as a history painter, Kauffmann was a skilled portraitist, landscape and decoration painter. She was, along with Mary Moser, one of the two female founding members of the Royal Academy in London in 1768.

While Kauffman produced many types of art, she identified herself primarily as a history painter, an unusual designation for a woman artist in the 18th century. History painting was considered the most elite and lucrative category in academic painting during this time period and, under the direction of Sir Joshua Reynolds, the Royal Academy made a strong effort to promote it to a native audience more interested in commissioning and buying portraits and landscapes. Despite the popularity that Kauffman enjoyed in British society, and her success there as an artist, she was disappointed by the relative apathy of the British towards history painting. Ultimately she left Britain for the continent, where history painting was better established, held in higher esteem and patronized.

Louise Catherine Breslau (6 December 1856 – 12 May 1927) was a German-born Swiss painter, who learned drawing to pass the time while bedridden with chronic asthma. She studied art at the Académie Julian in Paris, and exhibited at the salon of the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts, where she became a respected colleague of noted figures such as Edgar Degas and Anatole France.

@sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al , unless you work for Mozilla, you have no idea what else they added in to the base service and none of us should blindly trust them, since Mozilla VPN is not an open source project.

I use Mozilla VPN and I also have this concern, @yourFanatic@sh.itjust.works but other than the public docs from Mozilla, I'm not sure how anyone outside the company can answer this.

For instance, this page (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/products/vpn/features/) talks a lot about how your browsing is improved thru their VPN, but doesn't go intomuch depth on what they do with the data flowing through their/Mullvad's servers, other than to say, "We never log, track or share your network data. Simply put, we don’t collect your personal browsing information."

This page has more detail -- https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/privacy/subscription-services --, but still, you end up either trusting them or you don't. I do, currently.

Also, each time I start up the VPN app on Ubuntu, I see a prompt asking if I want to enable the "Share technical data" feature. I say no and it still works just fine. You might trust Mozilla more than I do with that data but I do trust them to not send it when the feature is disabled.

And then the next screen asks if I want the VPN app to block ads, trackers and/or malware. (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-change-my-privacy-features) I already have Pihole on my network, so I don't enable those features either. I suspect they incur network traffic thru Mozilla (specifically) but again, the docs do not cover how these feature work under the hood. So again, how much do you trust Mozilla?

As always, YMMV. You can reach out to their Support and see if they'll answer your questions, of course. I've dealt with them before and they're OK to work with.

Never Cry Wolf is a 1983 American drama film directed by Carroll Ballard. The film is an adaptation of Farley Mowat's 1963 "subjective non-fiction" book. The film stars Charles Martin Smith as a government biologist sent into the wilderness to study the caribou population, whose decline is believed to be caused by wolves, even though no one has seen a wolf kill a caribou. The film also features Brian Dennehy and Zachary Ittimangnaq.
