#12this doesn't actually teach anything about how to draw. there is one thing about using a layer for drafting, but apart from that it is how to use this very specific piece of software if you already have some skills and techniques

#13What's this? What's 9front? Who's Stanley Lieber? This is so confusing.
9front is a fork of Plan 9, the operating system that runs Jurassic Park[0]. Stanley Leiber is a prominent contributor, albeit whose existence is humourously-but-seriously-maybe debated. The whole community has a post-ironic humor that is very GenZ but before GenZ was cool or even born. The Plan 9 Foundation commissions local artists for it's swag at the annual workshops. I'm guessing this article is tangentially rel…
Is that gen z humour?
As it reads more to me like it's Douglas Adams humour, i.e. 1980s humour.
British, post-Python absurdist humour or whatever you'd call it.

You must be joking about Jurassic Park, right?
The systems in Jurassic Park are clearly and obviously running IRIX on SGI workstations, and the girl character says as much when she recognizes Unix. The file system navigator app is famous from its appearance there.
Plan 9 has never been portrayed as a running system in Hollywood, because it has never run any system of consequence in real life either.

You must be joking about Jurassic Park , right? The systems in Jurassic Park are clearly and obviously running IRIX on SGI workstations, and the girl character says as much when she recognizes Unix. The file system navigator app is famous from its appearance there. Plan 9 has never been portrayed as a running system in Hollywood, because it has never run any system of consequence in real life either.
... it's a joke. A perfect example of how Plan 9 humor works.

I am unclear what the joke is here. GP appeared to be sincere because there is a still image from the film embedded in the FAQ for no reason.
The “joke” is not part of the FAQ. So, what actually is the joke? Has the joke been made in public forums before today? We're unable to find prior art concerning this joke or meme. Does "plan9 humor" consist mostly of making shit up?

#18> 2.3.5 Straight Line > Use a ruler. Somehow, in spite of noting the unusual physicality of this approach, I was profoundly unprepared to see a physical ruler being used on a touchscreen. Nice.
What was your reaction to the CD then?

Or atheists for that matter.
I was a bit put off by the implied hostility there, even if it was in jest. It's a risky choice to jokingly discriminate based on religion, ethnicity or political affiliation, mostly because such a joke is hard to distinguish from almost identical contexts where it isn't a joke.

the joke is that plan 9’s not UNIX, and thus does not run Jurassic Park. the absurdity arises from the fact that using such a capable operating system for dinosaur husbandry (im told this is what jurassic park is about) would be, frankly, philistine in nature.
