@grindcrank Hi, I'm brand new to Mastodon. Is the boost button like an upvote/like/heart from other social media sites.
@DreitonLullaby Hey, welcome here.

The boost button does 'reshare' the post to your followers.

The star is to like/fav something.

@grindcrank
Ah, thanks very much. I was a bit confused. I saw the star and immediately thought it was the upvote button, and thought the boost button looks like a share button. But than when I saw it was for 'boosting', I figured that an upvote is usually meant for boosting and that that's what the boost button was the equivalent of.

And Hey, I love your artworks and your artstyle so much! So you're now the first profile I've followed! You appeared up the top of the trending list for me.
What is an Open web? Darknet?
the scale is somewhat accurate. The user base of FIrefox is unfortunately small and declining 8(
Stunning piece, well done.

Stop Google and other bad actors with the 'Digital Feudalism Counter Action (DFCA)' firewall and notification setup for linux:

Amazing artwork!

Is there a 4K version of this picture? This looks like wallpaper material! ๐Ÿ˜€
@graves501 Thanks, yes! 3840x2047px , Check the links at the bottom of https://www.peppercarrot.com/en/viewer/misc__2023-07-27_Fighting-For-The-Open-Web_by-David-Revoy.html
Thank you! Making this my desktop wallpaper as well, it's stunning!
@graves501
@graves501 yes! TY for this, already set as my wallpaper, I do have a quick question, would it be ok if one was to make videos about Linux/how to's and the wallpaper showed up in the video?
@graves501 This is now the background of the lock screen of my Google Pixel tablet, I wanted to use it as the wallpaper but it is unfortunately too blue for that. Might do it on my Linux desktop even thought it lack the irony of the Pixel. ๐ŸŽ‚
looks like the fox from that video game Tunic.
Absolument magnifique! Bravo David!

Absolutely amazing! Congrat's David !

Oh, that is wonderful!
Reminds me of this, and that is exactly how it feels like.
I'd definitely would read or watch this series... cheering for the underdog naturally
Stunning. Go, little fox, go!!
Luckily, a growing number of people is becoming conscious for an open web... I know a few (French and Italian) sites offering open services:

I love the detail of the uBO shield held by little Firefox

#ublock #uBlockOrigin
that's an awesome pic
This is just, wow. Lovely work ๐Ÿ’›
i love the artwork and the message
This is so true! Firefox has been my go-to for web browsers for probably over a decade. I hope they keep on fighting for all of us.
Weโ€™re fighting it together, side by side!
Sees the UBlock Origin logo in the shield.

Epic. We must also protect adblockers, not just Firefox (which is important in its own way). Advertising has become completely untrustworthy with the use of extensive data tracking and such, and it's just irritating to see just how much companies are willing to exploit you just so you can buy whatever's on the screen now.
please make more art with open source content ๐Ÿ˜

Even though FOSS is far ahead in ethical values, people need an aesthetic narrative to switch.

Unfortunately it's hard to excite people with pure facts.
This is so beatyful, and the Firefox is soo cute ๐Ÿ˜
Gorgeous work.... And I also love that it's made with Krita!! ๐ŸŽจ๐Ÿ’•
I don't like Chrome. It's made by Google due to the fact that Google is ads.
firefox makes me think of the cute fox un tunic. Great art!
This sums up my feelings on the matterโ€ฆ I don't like everything Mozilla does, but my quibbles with them are far outweighed by my deep distrust of Google, and it does feel like a long, drawn out battle.

The circumstances for making this piece of art are unfortunate, but your end result is very pretty.
Reminds me of the little fox from Tunic. :blobfoxheart:
Make the web lighterโœŠ
Here is the painting process of the illustration I posted today. Painted and created with the built-in Krita recorder.

Une oeuvre qui reprรฉsente tellement de choses en ces moments troubles, applicable au meilleur face aux pires, thรฉologiquement, philosophiquement, humainement parlant de vรฉritรฉs et de libertรฉs.

Je sais: j'en fais trop; mais la libertรฉ peut au moins se targuรฉe d'รชtre illustrรฉe avec bontรฉ et beautรฉ de faรงon admirable sous votre plume.

Merci...encore...et en cล“ur...encore et en chล“urs...
This is fantastic work! ๐Ÿ‘€ Very inspiring ๐Ÿ˜
We are lucky to have you in the #Fediverse.
can I use your art in the last chapter of my habilitation thesis to direct research? How should I cite it properly?
Thank you.
@imarfisi Hey, sure! You can copy the line under my artwork here: https://www.peppercarrot.com/en/viewer/misc__2023-07-27_Fighting-For-The-Open-Web_by-David-Revoy.html , it contains the title, my name and the license.
excellent. Thank you!
A laudable fight!
The conversation is becoming global so is increasingly a target for those who would control that interaction.
That is ... beautiful ๐Ÿคฉ. Keep up the good work!
this is so awesome omg
I was thinking this was a Majora's Mask reference ๐Ÿ˜„
une autre magnifique oeuvre mon gars
Hop, new wallpaper obtained !

Amazing art :kirby_happy:
Pretty sure I can hear this image, and chrome has a very scary sound to it.
all we can hope for now is that their new ad standard doesnโ€™t catch onโ€ฆ or that someone finds a workaround ๐Ÿ™ƒ
Your work and philosophy has always been an inspiration to me.
This piece is striking in depicting our struggle for the Net in way that's so relevant but keeps your trademark sense of fantasy and wonder.

I hope one day I can make work like this, that makes people feel and go "Wow", without being a preachy political cartoon.

Art like this can change the course of history. โค
We are small, but mighty. . .brb let's all uninstall Chrome together. ๐Ÿ˜
Love your work, David. And itโ€™s definitely not your fault that we live in the worst possible timeline but whatโ€™s missing in that image is the hand from Google giving Mozilla half a billion dollars.

(Mozilla exists on roughly half a billion dollars from Google every year. Sadly, theyโ€™re not so much adversaries as partners.)
@aral Thanks!

Yes, I knew that. Thank you for writing this, it is useful information.

It's hard to show all the subtle interactions and I had to sit on my own issues with Moz/Ff - e.g. all their failed non-sense side projects or recently their AI discourse to seduce investors.

It's a limitation of my illustration that I kept it as simple as possible to be more efficient with the message: if we all used Firefox with UblockOrigin, the toxic adv industry wouldn't be such a monster.
I hear you and empathise ๐Ÿ˜€

> if we all used Firefox with UblockOrigin, the toxic adv industry wouldn't be such a monster

If we all used Firefox with UblockOrigin, Google would go bankrupt. When Google goes bankrupt, Mozilla would lose the half a billion dollars it needs from Google to survive so Mozilla would also go bankrupt. So the only way Mozilla and Firefox can continue to exist is if we donโ€™t all use Firefox with UblockOrigin. Thatโ€™s the gambit.
This drawing is amazing!
By the way, is the (fire)fox it inspired by TUNIC?
This is an amazing piece of artwork. Firefox in many ways feels like the last bastion before total chrome domination (ref browser engines), and that's such a scary thought.

Google has far too much power now in setting wen standards.
Amazing illustration! Nobody in my real life ever understands why Google's or Meta's internet monopolization is a problem, not even the ones familiar with tech at large.
@gub Merci ! Oui, bien vue pour le passage passรฉ ร  la trappe du code binaire. j'avais en tรชte un champs de ces 0 et 1 et que le gros Chrome serait comme une moissoneuse de data en aspirant รงa. Mais bon, รงa faisait clichรฉ, et รงa s'intรฉgrait assez mal dans l'aspect painting et touche du pinceau de l'illu. J'ai donc passรฉ le calque ร  la trappe en cours de route. ๐Ÿ˜‹
I love this image! โค๏ธ
this one is really great ... I mean all of your work is great, but I love that one !
This is AMAZING!!!
