We used to joke in 2010s: what is Internet Explorer? It's a program that is used to download a browser.

Nowadays, what is Mozilla Firefox? It's a repository you fork to make a browser.

I know that habit of using messenger app for notes :) Try [matrix] using Element or SchildiChat. It's e2eencrypted and federated, and even supports markdown formatting in messages. Also some Slack features are included. The only issue for non-techy person might be verifying sessions - just be sure to use the same client on all devices.

Check out "Keys to Drawing" book by Bert Dodson. It gives a good versatile introduction without unnecessary 'academic drawing' pressure.

Yeah, actually it also has a HTTP server, in case you need to transfer something big one way and don't want to bother with FTP connection

If by wirelessly you mean via Wi-Fi network then one convenient option is qrcp. It generates a QR-code right in your terminal, which you can scan with a phone and send/receive files through a web interface on the URL it provides.

If you want to transfer files regularly, there is another option. Almost every distro has Python installed, and the Python has a "built-in" FTP server. You need to just cd into desired directory and run the command python -m pyftpdlib -w. It will open a FTP server with root in this directory. You then can access it through a file manager, like Material Files for example, and send files and folders back and forth. In Material Files you can save the server address for future use.

I'm glad I didn't sit by and deleted all my posts and comments.

I'd recommend making the circle stroke width equal to the head's stroke width, like in the original icon. Other than that it's a perfect substitute imo

Nostalgic! Ordered 5 of these at the time and distributed among the good people :)

 

A small illustration resulted from attempt to make an icon for the Voyager app. Thought it would fit here. Any feedback appreciated.
