Even your first painting in the series was recognizably him. You're right about the expression, although I sure can't point to what tiny detail doesn't match.

Regardless, you've made great progress and I hope you keep sharing with us!

There's still something to assembling it yourself. Viewed as an educational activity, it easily clears the bar for photo quality.

Yes you can get better photos by buying something else used, but that doesn't mean this doesn't have value.

At the same time it's the map's job to describe the world. Even for something like nation states where there's an official name, the map uses the common name. Our maps say France, not French Republic.

Changing the displayed name for a body of water shared by several nations doesn't make much sense, especially when the common name has yet to follow.

At least that's from the perspective of one of the goals the map ostensibly wants to serve.

Those actions may not require refreshing the entire display.

E-Ink is viewable in sunlight without a backlight. A huge chunk of power for regular displays is the backlight. Here you only need a backlight in darkness, and it can be quite low.

Thibault? That's the first 2 syllable French name that comes to mind that I could see people mangling to Tubbo or Tugboat

Were you intending to link a song, or reply to someone besides OP?

The weird thing is, equity and inclusion aside: it looks like diversity is a good tiebreaker when you try to measure this.

So even if it were a zero sum game, the right candidate is unlikely to be the one who resembles your current team.

Twin peaks had the sign changed at the last minute. It was originally supposed to be about 5,200, hence the mismatch between the sign and the tone

You can also stitch them with ffmpeg if a CLI is more your speed

I keep seeing people talking about it being too dark. I'm not sure what that could mean, why wouldn't you want darkness?
