Further experimentation into #9front...

...I still feel like I landed on Mars, but I've just now (finally) managed to walk in a straight line for ten paces without landing on my face, so... XD

#LossyPNG: original 40-color image reduced to 23 colors for a reduction down to 65% of original size, only losing some of the colors in stats(8) display.

Yeah. ;) (text after hashtags to force clients to fully display them, because [hashtags are poetry], dadgummit! ;)

P.S. Bitmapped fonts are SOOOO CLEAAAAAN. Dude. XD

I guess I'd be less annoyed if a reboot-to-apply-changes cycle didn't mean that I'd have to enter my LUKS password twice.

I didn't realize #Windows10 had shadows until my #LossyPNG conversion made it more obvious.

I really must confess, after all of the insane #UI stuff we've been seeing lately, I really don't hate this (UI, that is).

lol we've reached peak webdev, gents. ;)

Well that's unexpected. 😄

@wyatt @kawa There have been a few attempts at "lossy PNG". One method, anticipated by the standard, involves reducing colors in a continuous-tone image to store it in indexed mode. The other involves adjusting pixels of 24-bit images to be better predicted by PNG's line filter, giving more zero bytes for DEFLATE to use
