I actually would prefer to deal with Torvalds than Gates or Jobs, because at least Torvalds speaks his mind. You may not agree with what LT says about this or anything else, but he’s just as entitled to his views, however eccentric they may seem, as you are. If you don’t like what Linus Torvalds says, then don’t read him, don’t pay attention. Cult rumors most often refer to artistic and fashion movements of passing interest, but persistent rumors may escalate popular concern about relatively small and recently founded religious movements, or non-religious groups, perceived to engage in excessive member control or exploitation.” For this reason, most, if not all, non-fan groups that are called cults reject this label.Ī group’s populist cult status begins as rumors of its novel belief system, its great devotions, its idiosyncratic practices, its perceived harmful or beneficial effects on members, or its perceived opposition to the interests of mainstream cultures and governments. ![]() In common or populist usage, “cult” has a positive connotation for groups of art, music, writing, fiction, and fashion devotees, but a negative connotation for new religious, extreme political, questionable therapeutic, and pyramidal business groups. “Cult typically refers to a cohesive social group devoted to beliefs or practices that the surrounding culture considers outside the mainstream, with a notably positive or negative popular perception. That kind of slavish devotion is clearly on view, and it’s disturbing, cult-like behavior, in my opinion. To some degree, every OS has its disciples (or “true believers”, if you will), who treat a particular personality (Gates, Jobs, Torvalds, etc) as some kind of Messiah. Linux is not a cult and whoever wrote that betrays immaturity. Stuff like eeePC is pushing the cost of hardware down so far only freely available tools are cheap enough. It was necessary, but hardware sales was the point. In the old days, software was part of what made the computer “go”.

Van Gogh, Cézanne, Degas, and Manet all praised Hokusai’s art. Japanese prints became a source of inspiration for artists in many genres. In fact, this term was introduced in 1872 by an art critic Philippe Burty (1830-1890). Its influence on Western culture became known as Japonisme. Consequently, Japanese art came to the West and quickly gained popularity. With the clear sky in the distance, his Great Wave offered the promise of a brighter future resulting from the interaction between the cultures.Īfter the Meiji Restoration in 1868, Japan ended a period of national isolation. By oversizing the wave, Hokusai showed the consequences of the flow of people and goods across the seas. Breaking down the barriers could imply a new interest in the world. Thus, the waves and sea could represent the possibility of bridging with the West and its dangers.Īt the same time, the waves could symbolize the potential to travel abroad, to find new things outside Japan. Hokusai seems to have mixed feelings about the sea over which the European technologies and ideas have traveled. Instead, the image blends European materials, principles of perspective used in the West, and Japanese aesthetics. Therefore, the Great Wave is not the perfect example of a typical Japanese print. The public admired the Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji partly because of this beautiful blue, prized due to its foreignness. The dye was then imported into Japan either by Dutch traders or via China, where it was manufactured from the 1820s. This was probably first synthesized by Johann Jacob Diesbach in Berlin around 1706. However, this is not a Japanese blue but is Prussian or Berlin blue. Is Mount Fuji, which appears small in comparison, about to be consumed by the rogue wave or, metaphorically, foreign forces? It is as though the wave can reach out and seize it.īecause of the dominant waves and sea, the deep blue color permeates the print. We start to wonder about the fate of the boatmen and the subsequent course of events. Nevertheless, the great wave offsets it and creates suspense. Its symmetrical cone adds certain stability to the image. Here it fixes the big wave which becomes static rather than fluid and ephemeral. Mount Fuji, an active stratovolcano, was deemed immortal. ![]() There are few limitations during the trial period. Ableton offers a generous free 90 day trial.
