My moms is "white", while my pops was "black". But growing up, race wasn't a thing for me. In Puerto Rico we have all kinds, we are all puertoricans. Even if you weren't born here, if you love* the island, and you suffer* the island, then you are one of us.
Race, for me, came from watching "American" TV and movies. It came later in life. And so, I don't often think in terms of race.

But sometimes...
Boy oh boy...
Sometimes someone says/posts something that makes me go:
"Only a white person would say/post that."
LOL
... I will give you an example ...

quite a while ago, months?, a year?
M$ laid off quite a few people. And someone from M$ took to linkdin to advice those recently unemployed to use "AI" to get help.
And somehow in the wording that was reported made me think, "this gotta be a white dude."
Maybe I should ask some M$ dudes I still keep in contact with to confirm or deny my suspicions. But I feel fairly certain š

The original Mozilla "Dinosaur" logo artwork.
It has come to my attention that the artwork for the original mozilla.org "dinosaur" logo is not widely available online. So, here it is. As I explained in some detail in my 2016 article "They Live and the...

Laser Cutter Plus CYMK Spraypaint Equals Full-Color Prints
This is one of those fun hacks that come about from finding a product and going āI wonder if I couldā¦ā ā in this case, artist/YouTuber [Wesley Treat] found out his favourite vendor makes spray cans in CYMK coloursā that is the Cyan, Yellow, Magenta and blacK required for subtractive printing. Which got him wondering: can I make full-colour prints with this paint?
The MDF-based print, with naive half-tone dots.
His answer was āyesā, and the process to do so is fairly simple. First, split the image into colour channels, generate a half-tone pattern for each one, and carve it out of MDF on the laser. Then spray the MDF with the appropriate colour spray paint. Press the page against each block in turn, and voila! A full colour print block print, albeit at very low DPI compared to your average inkjet.Now, you might be wondering, why half-tone instead of mixing? Well, it turns out that these CYMK paints are too opaque for that to work in a block-printing process. At least with a naive spray technique; [Weseley] does admit a very fine mist might be able to make that work. The second question is why not just hook the rattle cans into a CNC machine for a paint-based mega inkjet? Thatās a great question and we hope someone tries it, but [Weseley] evidently likes block-printing so he tried that first.
The Mylar stencil print, with a more artistic half-tone pattern.
Laser-ablating enough MDF away to make decent print blocks took too long for [Weseley]ās tastes, however, so he switched to using mylar stencils. Instead of spraying a block and pressing onto it, the paint is sprayed through the stencil. The 10 mil Mylar not only cuts faster, but can support finer detail. Though the resulting prints loose some of the artistic flair the inconsistencies block printing brings, it probably looks better.If you prefer to skip the manual paint-can-handling, perhaps we can interest you in a spray-can plotter. If you do like manually flinging paint, perhaps you could try this dot-painting spray can attachment, for a more self-directed half-tone.
Thanks to [Keith Olson] for the tip.

It's worth sticking around, I think.
