@federicomena Chiiiiiiido, justo lo que buscaba, me encantan, ¡gracias!

People boosting my cries for help on Masto is like one of my favourite things ever.

I need a good set of monochrome icons (zoom in/out, open/close file, a paintbrush, that sort of thing). Any suggestions?

@Juju This is true...

Oh, wait, you mean...!

@rick_777 Oh, I see, it's that checkbox button.

@rick_777 How do I do that? I don't see a button for it. I'm not sure answers are "accepted" anymore?

I feel like #luminance is the biggest thing I've learned these past few weeks. It's such a useful metric for picking accessible colours! At least it seems so to me.

Writing my own solutions to my own problems on #StackOverflow feels like maintaining my own personal dev diary out in the open for all to see.

I'm having a lot more fun than I expected in #Qt, but at the same time, I'm also feeling a bit like I'm a bit late to the party and the raucous roar of crowd is already dying down. Is this the case?

Anyway, I'm so happy that someone answered my question:

This led me to find exactly how this was solved in #Octave:

This tells me enough to solve it myself in #tilerswift. I'm going to implement a solution soon.

This is so #Debian. A small typo here is telling me to use the old and unmaintained version of the software. I wasn't sure if that was a typo or if they really thought I should use the old software. I had to ask.

"In contrast to KeePassXC (package keepassxc), the development pace of KeePassX has slowed down. It has less features, and uses an outdated version of the Qt widget. If you do not know whether you should install keepassx or keepassxc, install keepassx instead!"

Huh, the things you learn during #NESdev. The three primary colours, red, green, and blue, are not perceived as equally bright. The #luminance is a measure of how bright we perceive all three together! Blue is brightest, then red, and green is dimmest.

I mostly just needed this so I could label the NES palette with their hex indices:

There we go, the beginnings of the tile picker. I can start building sprites out of the tiles!

@Jo The story mode is a pop-up story book cut out of PS1 polygons, it's really delightful.

@Jo I've played it on emulator and it's just such cutesy joy. The whole gang goes on adventures that somehow all end up involving racing tracks.

@Jo Chocobo Racing, amirite?

@jake @InspectorCaracal Geez, wtf is going on here, it's like the designer was like MORE WING YES WING MORE WING

Firefox 69 is coming soon...

Nice.

@bunnyjane Ooh, I really like the Spanish dub of She-Ra! And they kept a lot of the old names from the 80s show.

@holger I want to play Final Fantasy music! 😆

But it will probably be some time before I even buy a keyboard to learn with.

@federicomena Ooh, maybe! Thanks for the recommendation!

Even though the keyboard isn't that expensive, it will probably be some months before I can get it.

I wonder how far I'll get along with YouTube tutorials.
