"Get your pencil ready!"

I could have done so many useful things on a Sunday. But instead I've finished these 100 audio cassette designs using the GNOME color palette.

Growing up in an economy with a fraction of western buying power, having a copy of National Geographic was a treasure. I still remember the feeling of flipping the pages of those amazing photos. goodbye kiss

Didn't quite make use of the lovely contrast of colors 1 and 5 here, but I'm still enjoying PICO8 palette.

Sketch Friday is here! I need to trace some of these. Been doing sketches and leaving the vectors to others, cheating myself of the Inkscape pleasures.

Been listening to Shortwave a lot recently. It's amazing how the mainstream platforms do little or close to nothing to let you discover new music.

One of the downsides of easily managed color mixing using SASS in gtk was that none of it was accessible to app developers. Only a few @colors were avail. Few apps that needed to do some color customizations actually shipped the whole of adwaita SASS theme and regenerated their bits.

Such awful hacks are no longer necessary. I'm glad to see @alice ' amazing work on custom CSS properties landing. Thank you for the continuous care from the perspective of app developers!

The PICO8 palette is surprisingly very autumn compatible.

Does anyone have Godot Engine logo in pixelart form? I wanted to use pixelated logo in credits as my game has quite low res, but can't find anything like that in the official presskit. I can use official SVG's and rescale them, but wanted them to look as crisp as possible.

@godotengine any hints?

PSA -- if you don't want to annoy animation sensitive people (or in the worst case cause epileptic seizures), make use of prefers-reduced-motion. Works for CSS and <picture>.

Making use of the prefers-reduced-motion. In GNOME it's accessible in the Settings: Accessibility>Seeing>Reduce Animation

Pointless eyecandy transitions. Can't get enough of.

We have to go deeper. A website switching to a dark mode including renders of hardware illuminated by screenshots also switching to dark mode.
