Blake could barely make a living illustrating other people’s work, and it left no time for his own art.
He yearned for a different technique that could achieve the same result in less time and with less toil.
No such technique existed.
So he invented it.
Rather than cut the shapes onto the plates with his sharp steel burin, he painted directly onto the copper with a quill or brush dipped in acid-resistant varnish, then bathed the plates in acid, which stripped a layer …

Several years ago, a street medic described a system like this and wanted to know if it could be built.
https://hackaday.com/2022/09/08/the-tak-ecosystem-military-coordination-goes-open-source/
Back then there was just no way to make it happen. Hardware was too expensive. We couldn't really ever get it cheap enough, per medic, to deploy. Best I could put together was a bunch of burner phones.
But now it's starting to really make sense. LoRa is cheap, and possibly cheaper in bulk. And it wouldn't be necessary to build everything since ATAK-CIV exists and has several open source implementations. It can even tie in to drones (which are illegal to bring to protests in at least a few states).
This has a lot of potential applications for street medic coordination, protest marshal coordination, and for airsoft teams...

Why Covid-19 will never become endemic
For most of the pandemic Australia has worked to contain the virus through evidence-based public health measures such as border closures, case finding, contact tracing, quarantine, social distancing, vaccines and, at times, lockdown. Sadly, the weaponisation of lockdown as a pointscoring issue and emotional trigger has led to a conflation of lockdown with all other public health measures, most of which do not impinge on freedoms. Denial is a major theme during the pandemic.
