Yes and no.
#Apple's #iPad makes it easy to test, build and sell #CCSS [commercial closed-source software] at a premium.
Simply because #Wacom makes good passive stylus and pen-capable touchscreens.
That's why #Autodesk won't even sell people a #Linux license for #Maya (or any of their other tools) unless one has proof of ownership of a certified workstation (i.e. HP Z-series) with a #RHEL [#RedHat] #Workstation #subscription active to begin with.
Compare that to like #AffinityDesigner on #iOS (or rather "#iPadOS") and the fact that basically all iPad users are expected to have an Apple account and credit card linked to it for the #AppStore and it's no wounder the developers of creative apps will focus on that.
The only exception are #FLOSS #apps that are native to Linux and/or got started on other #Unix Systems [#blender started out on #IRIX as CCSS] and serve #macOS & #Windows as 2nd & 3rd tier platforms [i.e. #darktable oftentimes had no Windows builds because none of the devs had or wanted a Windows machine to test on!]
For millennia, the Maya people of Guatemala have been practising a unique agricultural system that fuses sustainability, climate resilience and environmental preservation. Based on the interconnections between plants and the surrounding elements, the “milpa” system combines nature with various managed crops such as corn, squash and beans.
But instead it's a link to this 2008 story https://www.livescience.com/2322-secret-mayan-blue-paint.html
The scholars who do the research are seldom the ones who get to write the headlines for online articles. Perhaps the subhead would have been more accurate as a THIRD important discovery about Maya Blue.
When I saw "second answer" to Maya Blue, I was assuming Luis May Ku was first... https://mexiconewsdaily.com/culture/artist-rediscovers-mysterious-recipe-for-ancient-maya-blue-dye/

@graves501 @d3Xt3r I am flashing a the latest #LinuxMint 22.1 Cinnamon edition. Fifth time's the one? Let's see what happens... I was reasonably impressed with Linux Mint when I first installed it back in 2008 from a DVD that came with a magazine. At the time I was heavily using #Maya #Nuke and #AfterEffects for #VFX work so I kept using WindowsNT (my favourite version).

Some VFX/animation nerdery: while digging through my file archive today I came across an interesting artifact: the very first animated short ever created using Maya. I know it’s the first one, because it was created by a small group of Maya developers in 1997, months before version 1.0 was released, to test the software. We were tired of testing individual features in isolation and wanted to actually make something fun.
The most notable feature of the animation is how absolutely terrible it is. None of us were animators, so all the key framing is awkward and the camera motion robotic and all the materials flat. But it had a story (we even storyboarded it) and it was a blast to make. And it did help us a find and fix a bunch of integration bugs.
The only software I have that can actually play my 27-year-old video file is VLC (because it can play anything!)
(I don’t want to give the impression that we weren’t also working with pro animators and VFX artists — we absolutely were, daily, and they were also testing the software. But this was the first completed short.)

Unexpected rabbit hole this morning!
The #NYT reported on a man who'd trained his immunity to snake venom, and an immunologist/entrepreneur working with him:
"Dr. Glanville had been pursuing what scientists call broadly acting antibodies as the basis for universal #vaccines against viruses. He grew up in a #Maya village in the #Guatemala highlands, and became intrigued by the possibility of using the same approach for universal #antivenom
