  1. Got the #MKDOCs machine fired-up... maybe I'll get more of the #manual done next week? It's mostly stubs right now but, I will at least use a #Motif. It is sporting my custom #font of course.

    I changed tense at some point, it was late. I'll get back to it another time maybe.

  8. @NationalGeographic @photography-NationalGeographic
    Nat. Geographic presents 22 #stunning #photos from its archives, curated by M. Tessler from the section #PhotooftheDay. They show #authenticity, #nearness, and the photographic preservation of unusual #fleetingmoments. I think they prove that great photography is not determined by the camera used or the #motif, but by the #photographer's subjective #perception of a scene.

  9. @jlsksr Wow, he must have been grinding that axe for 30 years! I can't remember the last time I saw #MWM (#Motif window manager)!

  10. @Gammitin

    Nice. This used the #CDE desktop, based on #Motif. I did prefer the earlier #OpenWindows / #OpenLook, though. Partially because I was involved in the development of that.

    #SunMicrosystems

  11. Je serai présent avec des petits formats de mes motifs imprimés en risographie au marché des artistes-x et des créateurs-x-rices de Ressources Urbaines.

    Ça se passe à l'ancienne Poste des Charmilles (rue des Charmilles 23, Genève)

    Samedi 6 décembre de 17h à 23h et dimanche 7 décembre 2025 : de 11h à 17h (je ne serai pas présent dimanche matin).

    C'est déja le week-end prochain !!

  12. Common Desktop Environment comes back after 2 years with v2.5.3!

    Two years after the last point release of Common Desktop Environment, a new point release has been released this year, bearing version 2.5.3. Unfortunately, it’s nothing major; just a subset of bug fixes that are mostly development-related, such as compiler warning fixes to reduce the clutter during the build process.

    For those who like the old-school desktop UI that is similar to old HP-UX (Visual User Environment) and Solaris Unix systems, this one is for you. CDE 2.5.3 brings some of the big changes, such as support for more mouse buttons in dtwm.

    Improvements were also made to the built-in terminal emulator, including fixes for copy and paste system. You can see the full commit logs here.

    For the sake of reminding you of Visual User Environment, here’s the picture:

  13. »The new Unix, called OSF I, has been delayed considerably, and its user-interface is called OSF/Motif, which is in direct conflict with AT&T's Unix interface called Open Look.«

    Found in an article about the state of Unix in "Your Computer", issue June 1990.

  14. Teaser: The German Cinderella story has direct ties to footbinding in China. 😬

    (Because it's a small world and ideas travel.)

  15. And the reason I included the rewild and decolonization tags is because you can see in these histories of fairytales how Christian cultural colonization of Europe has tamed these ancient tales, taken away their bite, watered down their power. And YET the core of these tales has survived eradication attempts, and adapted to a hostile habitat. Which is simply phenomenal. What is it our collective unconscious is trying to tell us? Why are certain symbols so important to remember?

    This is all along the lines of other recent threads where I've unpacked how the artificial culture of whiteness has erased the real cultures that we all once had in our European homelands pre-Christianity.

    #folklore #theme #motif #jung #psychology #rewild #decolonization

  16. There's this channel on YouTube, The Resurrectionists) that digs into the ancient origins of European fairy tales. It's really interesting. I'm watching the Frog Prince one right now. The best one I saw is about Jack and the Beanstalk, which is filled with deeper mystical meanings in stories that go back to the earliest history and ancient worldviews.

    (Teaser: The beanstalk represents passing into the afterlife.)

    I enjoy thinking about the collective unconscious, and this is a way to look directly at it. Fairytales are the memories of an "organism" that lives longer than hundreds of generations of human lifetimes. I'm one of its neurons. You're one of its neurons. And when we die, the fellow people (neurons) that we taught will carry on these meanings written in a language that few of us can speak....

    ...yet we all know it.

  17. My second pixel art practice of the day is this dizzying pattern that (thanks to its closely set concentric lines) looks kind of tridimensional. 4 colors :) #opticalIllusion #pattern #ColorPattern #green #verde #motif #TilingTuesday #concentric #3D #opArt #mastoart #pixelart #ドット絵 @pixel_dailies

  18. Coucou les amis de Mastodon ! 👋

    Je sais, j'ai été un peu silencieuse ces derniers temps... La vie nous réserve parfois des turbulences, et j'ai dû traverser une période un peu compliquée. Mais la couleur revient doucement dans mon quotidien, et j'avais envie de partager ça avec vous ce soir. 💖

    Voici une gouache récente, pleine de douceur et d'espoir. J'espère qu'elle vous plaira ! ✨

    Qu'en pensez vous?

  19. PAISLEY - whether you call it a pattern, design or motif, it’s intrigued me since before I could read.

    It’s been a very long time though since my regular paisley affirmation posts dropped off. It wasn’t due to lack of intention but rather, the inability of search engines to pull up new content.

    For whatever reason, I have had some fresh success in finding some things to share. I genuinely hope these were written by actual reflecting human beings.

    Just keep in mind, like most human endeavours, the story of paisley is more complex than one might think. Competing claims of origin, ‘ownership’, colonialism, adaptation, integration and reinterpretation all seem to be there. I’ve shared a V&A deconstruction previously, but I will just run through some of the various pieces in these posts.

    First up, a textile history piece from Pattern Observer:

  20. trying to compose, with what I call a "seed", these days. Basically I just pick 4-5 notes that fit well together (arranged in a defined order; in 1 bar) and use them for soundtracks (in a game for example).

    In other words this is kinda like a motif and is supposed to help you make soundtracks that fit together.

  21. I was really pleased with how some of these production shots turned out. The lighting design was especially hard because the use of #motif in the music was unusual. I spent a long time with the director to really work on the storytelling. #LightingDesign #Music #opera #FrankenstienTLOpera #TheatreLife #DramaSchool #opera

  22. Botanists were intrigued by the flowers with SIX bifurcated petals, bending stems & alternate leaves on the 1359 seal of Clare College. Consensus: stylized roses, special, alluding perhaps to another realm? barnes1.net/seal/

    They're trending today! worn by #PrinceWilliam, in #Singapore for the #Earthshot Prize. His tie's made from recycled plastic bottles by #Wilmok.

  23. un magnifique motif de roues au crochet, ça a l'air si délicat. (également c'est dommage qu'on ne trouve pas du tout les laines alizée en france, elles ont un el aspect pour un prix modique)

  24. "Paraclausithyron 2"

    Stupid door! Why so shut?
    I’d be with her this moment, but
    You stand there stubborn in between
    Myself and one I’ve only seen
    But no less love with all my heart.
    Why keep us so estranged, apart?
    Come on! I’m sure she wouldn’t throw me
    Out, if she truly got to know me.

  25. "Paraclausithyron"

    Outside my girlfriend’s bolted door
    I wage a fierce domestic war
    That wakes up all the neighborhood.
    All night upon her step I’ve stood
    And I’ll be here until the dawn
    Composing a paraclausithyron,
    Unless I’m stopped before I’m through
    By flashing lights of red and blue.

  26. Whilst on an errand for my dad,
    I caught a monstrous fish that had
    Attacked me by the Tigris River.
    My guide advised I keep its liver
    Along with both the heart and gall,
    In case the Devil comes to call,
    And other uses of those pieces,
    Like curing blindness caused by feces.

  27. Les premières impressions en risographie de deux de mes motifs sont arrivées !

    C'était un test et il est réussi. En comparaison à une laser, la riso est plus douce, plus subtile tout en restant contrastée. L'utilisation d'un papier non couché amène la touche finale. Je crois que je ne pourrai plus m'en passer...

    Merci à Meriem (Frau Steiner), amie, graphiste et imprimeuse d'art qui m'a fait découvrir cette technique !

  28. #x11cp #archaic #application

    From the README:

    #icao is an interactive program running under #x11 #motif. Its input is a so
    called "world file", which is an ASCII file containing descriptions of objects
    such as airports, roads, towns, radio beacons and the like. ICAO will use
    either Lambert or Mercator projection to generate a map from this world file,
    either on your screen or as PostScript output.

    ICAO allows you to interactively work with the map on the screen, i.e. scroll
    it, use a rubber line to measure distances and tracks etc. Additional features
    are available for both motorized flights and soaring.

    See: x11cp.org/apps/icao/

  29. #x11cp #archaic #x11 application.

    This time it's a #toolbar written in #motif. #xmtoolbar

    #xmtoolbar was written sometime in 1995 -- I cannot find the author's name, apart from 'Spiff'.

    It's a catchy name, but there were quite a few toolbars like this which emulated #fvwm goodstuff, which was a forerunner to what is now #FvwmButtons

    With #xmtoolbar you can build up a panel with pixmap icons (XPMs) and launch programs. In #xmtoolbar's case, this can be done interactively and then the running configuration can be saved to disk for #xmtoolbar to load next time.

    What do I mean by this? Well...

  30. #x11cp #x11 application

    This time it's #mgdiff

    #mgdiff is a graphical frontend to the #diff command, written using #motif. It was originally inspired by a program called #gdiff which only ran on SGI machines.

    It allows for viewing the difference between two files and to write out the merged result to a third file, if desired.

    This is version 1.0, 1994, by Daniel Williams.

    #mgdiff implements the implements the Scrolled Region recommendations of Section 2.3.4 of the OSF/Motif Style Guide (release 1.1), meaning that the arrow and paging keys will work to scroll as well.

    I had to tweak the code only a little to override a custom getline() implementation.

    I also recall using this application in ~1996.

    Fun times!
