  1. 🕰️ Archives & Public Domain
    For those who love the "golden age" and silent films:
    • WikiFlix: browse public domain films hosted on Wikimedia Commons.
    • Internet Archive: you know that, it's like the wild west of cinema. Everything from film noir to silent expressionism is parked here for eternity. Might need a good digging attitude.

    📌 Many of these sites operate on a "rotating" basis (films stay up for 30 days, or more). Sign up for their newsletters so you don't miss the good stuff.

    Do you have any favorite "secret" place to watch great movies?

  2. The conversation around AI often swings between panic and misconception.
    AI doesn’t “replace” creativity, responsibility, or human judgment. It automates patterns, not meaning.
    In every field — from art to engineering — humans remain the ones who interpret, validate, and give direction.
    AI is a tool. The human layer is the system.

  4. Common Corpus, an open training set for AI, goes global – and so should support for it

    As many of the AI stories on Walled Culture attest, one of the most contentious areas in the latest stage of AI development concerns the sourcing of training data. To create high-quality large language models (LLMs) massive quantities of training data are required. In the current genAI stampede, many companies are simply scraping everything they can off the Internet. Quite how that will work […]

  7. I've talked a lot about our toys, and why we make them, but I figure I should explain again.

    I make the toys that I want to see in the world.

    I've been collecting toys for years, but those toys are so often made by or in service of corporations that want to lock up our culture and burn our planet.

    So I created my own characters, started writing, mined the public domain, and started making my own toys and telling my own stories.

    Stories that don't enrich some far off corporation or overstuffed capitalist, toys that are made sustainably, by people who are being paid a reasonable amount of money.

    We tell stories that reflect our values, it's #CommunityMedia, and we're making toys that reflect those values too.

    It's one part #anticapitalism, on part #openculture, and a small dose of #smallThings

    We can't do it without your support, so if you see something you like in the toys that we make, boost it. If you want something, and you can afford it, buy it.

    Ask questions, help us tell stories.

    Thanks.

  23. I do really like the possibility to work flexibly from remote, when I’m not onsite at my customers. But I’m also very grateful, that we also have (excellent) offices.

    Personal exchange, little chats in the coffee kitchen and meeting people in person is invaluable and a big part of our culture.

  24. As I’m currently focusing on everything OSPO, are there any talks or interviews that you feel that I need to watch/hear? I probably have it on my list, but there is so much and I would love to get some feedback on what to prioritize.

  26. hmm, not obvious what the #ato2024 hashtag is on the website.

    but I'm thinking about why it has taken us this long to think about open source in Africa. Also thinking about the divisions between #openculture and #opensource

  27. All pages are traditionally completed, inked and read for the final touches!

    Since this concludes the presentable part of all three pages (the screentoning and dialogues I will omit because you MUST have something to long for when it's published at #Fodongo zine) I leave all three of them, in scanned version cropped to their final zine to enjoy :)

    This is derivative work expanding on the story by @HarukaK at @jectoons 's #Fodongo zine "About a shipwreck"! So make sure you read it to enjoy these 3 pages even more here fodongo.jectoons.net/2024/08/2 (and even better buy the issue to support her, the other authors, the zine itself and support free culture!)

  28. Page 3 Update:

    Inking is coming along finely (with some mistakes along the way admittedly, but that's what opaque white are for right? 🙃 )!

    At the last minute I decided to add some sound effects, which to my surprise added quite a bit! Hopefully readers will agree :P

    Stay tuned for more!!

  29. Page 3 update:

    Blue penciling is over! And panels have been defined :D

    All in all, pretty happy with the result! My first action packed page!! :chick_party: :da_boogie:

    Maybe I'll make a correction, before inking, but not that sure yet...

    Inking incoming!! :D

    Reminder: this is derivative work expanding on the story by @HarukaK at @jectoons 's #Fodongo zine "About a shipwreck" (which you _must_ read here as it's damn good fodongo.jectoons.net/2024/08/2). And I have no need to worry about copyright, because it's damn freeculture :happey:

    #mastoart #traditionalart #scifi #cyberpunk #comics #comic #manga #makingcomics #makingmanga #freeculture #openculture #derivativecomics

  30. Page 3 update:

    Bluelining has started! Two panels proved more challenging than I actually thought, but being my very first ever action sequence I'm quite satisfied :)

    I'm curious to see, how I'll fill the empty space in the final panel... Should I go with details or some screentone to capture the moment :thinking_rotate:

    #mastoart #traditionalart #pencil #scifi #cyberpunk #prison #action #comics #comic #manga #makingcomics #makingmanga #freeculture #openculture #derivativecomics

  31. Page 2 update:
    Inking is done! Utterly, and completely done.

    I am very very pleased and excited and bamboozled with how it turned out the way it did, but environment, and motion/feeling of the prison turned out really good!

    Screentoning will be presented with this 3-pages release on the corresponding #fodongo zine issue :)

    Next on the list: 3rd and final page bluelining! Where things get really really serious....

  32. Page 2 update:
    Inking has started!

    The light of the alarm might need some improvement but I'll see how that goes...
    The alarm sound effect took some time to figure out... I think it corresponds well to a red alert kind of an alarm?

    I discovered that ink quality plays an important role on fine lining... I used the old one I had on a new bristol paper and I saw some bleeding (the ink flows a bit outward from the initial line done with the nib), which made the lines quite meh and uncontrolled. Will use a new japanese one so maaaaybe there will be some inking variance on the page... Hopefully it will be unnoticeable in the final result :P

    #mastoart #traditional #wip #ink #nib #scifi #prison #comics #comic #manga #makingcomics #makingmanga #freeculture #openculture #derivativecomic

  33. Page 2 update:
    Nearly done with blue lining!
    It took me quite some time to get the man's face right... in order to look the same as the one in page 1 :P
    I still need to figure out the details on the final panel with the dude coming out of a cell, though...

    And then it's inking time!

    And a reminder that this is derivative work expanding on the story by @HarukaK at #Fodongo "About a shipwreck" (which you _must_ read here as it's damn good fodongo.jectoons.net/2024/08/2). No need to worry about copyright, because it's damn freeculture \o/

    #mastoart #traditionalart #wip #pencil #comics #comic #manga #makingcomics #makingmanga #freeculture #openculture #derivativecomic

  34. Page 1 update:
    Ladies and gents and everyone else!
    Inking of this page is finally done!! Maybe I'll add some fines lines via hatching for extra effect here and there but it's done :D

    Tools used: menso brush for the heavy inking with gear and blackness of space, and g-pen nib :) (scissors and glue and another brush and white ink for corrections, I hate to admit XD)

    Next step is going to be digitization and adding screentones but I will not share that because it's not traditional and I like to stick to showing only traditional process, and mostly because this work will be published in #fodongo zine soon, so it's a sly way to push you to read it there and support it :chick_devil_cute: :chick_devilish:

    Next steps: page 2 and 3!! :D Stay tuned!! :D
