I love this suggestion (and hope the OP implements it), but in the meantime, there is a link button on the toolbar right next to the palette that provides a link to the generated palette.

This is fantastic, and I will definitely use it for personal projects in the future! I see a few requests for practical features here, but I have one incredibly silly request: how plausible would it be to restrict the colors to a set list o

Just to clarify, 34” 21:9 is the same height (and pixel density) as 27” 16:9 - and it’s definitely just on the cusp of noticeably not-pixel-dense when editing text, but I can see how it would be ideal for PC gaming where you sit a bit furth

That's totally fair! I'm still waiting on Linux to get its act together with fractional scaling, but until then, Mac works fantastic for my work with its fancy brand of fractional scaling w/ supersampling and better font rend

Eh, the only "ugh" thing about that new Alienware monitor, to me, is the low resolution - 1440p at 27"/34"? No thank you, 2160p or better + fractional scaling just looks so much better for those of us editing text

Heh, my time with Linux was before then, I think - but only by a couple of years. I do recall having some fun experimenting with StarCraft and NFS: Hot Pursuit (the og 1998 version, not the 2010 remake) under Wine, though.

Updating FreshTomato has never cleared out my settings, is it possible your install is broken? Manual updates don't bother me, personally, but wifi throughput is definitely a pain point (my understanding is the lower speeds are due to

I'd personally recommend FreshTomato[0] over OpenWRT, as it has a more approachable UI, is still open-source, and (in my experience) tends to run a bit smoother while needing less babysitting. [0]: https://freshtomato.org&#x

While I agree with this, there are the caveats that both light electric bicycles and heavy analog bicycles exist, and that in many cases the additional mass of the motor and battery may not contribute much to the overall momentum once the m

Just gonna jump on the bandwagon here and say that, as somebody who suffers from ADHD, with all due respect, that is 100% USDA certified horseshit. At the very least, bill monthly and make the trial not auto-renew at full price. And, since

To be fair to OP, Apple makes it dead easy to see how much the IAPs are for a given app (in the case of this one, $2.49 monthly or $24.99 yearly).

The problem is that, in this case, "what else you could do with the money" is limited to one thing - a recurring subscription cost with no asset value acquired. It's a faulty argument that shows a lack of critical thinking on

I know that the DES displays go up to 10.1", but I haven't seen displays beyond that size (though I'm unsure if they intend to make larger displays in the future). For the Sharp Memory Displays, I think I may have spoken too

Have you considered using a DES display or Sharp Memory LCD? I know the first is definitely cheaper than a branded E-Ink display, and the latter has much faster refresh rate and may be more suited to being a terminal (and may also be chea
