Re:Ireland Is Making Basic Income for Artists Program Permanent
on Wednesday October 15, 2025 @09:18AM (#45592020)
In Luxembourg smth similar exists but it's called "social help" for artists.
It's rather easily available if you make art for a living and it's enough to survive (paying social security & living costs)
Re:The secret to great art? Finding someone else to make it

For one of my works, a 50 x 3.5m insitu concrete sculpture, i had about 10 subcontractors.
Architects, concrete specialists, engineers, construction firm, gardeners and so on
You often lack the resources/skill thus you subcontract. Nothing wrong nor surprising with that.
Artworks are often 100% prototypes so it's already challenging finding subcontractors that understand the work and are willing to take the risk of producing the work.
Re:Pasta Cooking Time

You do not cook pasta by cooking time.
“La pasta vuole compagnia” Pasta needs company! Never leave it alone, keep stiring once in a while and keep testing them.
Best to drain it before you think it's "good" or al dente cause paste keeps cooking after beeing drained due to the heat and moisture/vapor.
Also, most good pasta dishes get their final cooking in a large pan in the sauce with some cooking water. So usually you drain em when they are still a bit hard in the inside and finish the cooking in the pan.

Just came across this from Quant Network — they’re calling it a “Layer 2.5” aimed at helping institutions use public blockchains without giving up compliance or control.
It seems like they’re combining a multi-chain rollup with trusted node access controls and native asset interoperability — no wrapped tokens or mint/burn bridges. Also interesting to see the emphasis on node jurisdiction and privacy-preserving smart contracts.
Curious how this will play out
“Layer 2.5” a helpful mental model — or just marketing for a hybrid L2/L3 stack?

Heh reminds me a project i made 2 years ago.
A local newspaper asked me for an artist intervention on a full page.
To keep it short:
I send my parents to a professional photofit guy from our national police (he never saw me, nor knows me, nor has seen a pic etc.) and made my parents describe me to him.
It's a work about identity, how the people that are very close to you see you and ofc the obvious link photofits have with the medium newspaper.
I removed it from my webpage (www.medium.lu) as i keep only a selection online so i exported a .pdf for u if anyone cares to check it out: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/25637921/hn/identified.p...
