Colors? Colors?! We don’t need no stinking colors! ⌘ Read more
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Unless you are stripping stuff on your twts, there is no much to implement. Things will be bold , italics , underlined , and so on, on a client that can render them. Since jenny uses Mutt, I can use my own regex in it to color them as I like. That’s pretty much it.

Bringing back old-school web pins and buttons
Back in the not-quite-as-bad-old-days (at least as far back as the 90’s), every good website had a small “ad” gif that fans of the site could use as a colorful link. These are called “buttons” or sometimes “pins.”

the c64 method would be an even cheaper video storage mechanism, but you wouldn’t get constant 2-bit color.
my #breathingcard etudes are 128x64 resolution videos with 4x zoom, that normally use no more than 4 colors (2-bits) using a 2-bit color storage format, that’s ~7mb a minute for raw uncompressed 60 fps video. not bad. #halfbakedideas
I’ve been thinking about storing the output of some of my audio-visual etudes in a more portable lossless 4-bit indexed color format, rather than rely on x264 directly. #halfbakedideas #etudes #breathingcards #longterm

Bad idea of the day: Rather than having a ‘madness’ mechanic, have a ‘stress’ mechanic that causes perceptual distortion (tunnel vision, increased color contrast, blurred vision, louder environmental sounds) & motor distortion (worse aim, movement delays)
Bad idea of the day: replace whitespace with color changes
Bad idea of the day: run deOldify on manga pages, consider the new color schemes canon, move to a surreal universe of floating pastels

Bad idea of the day: Rearrange the frames of a movie so that each frame is followed by the remaining frame that has the minimum (or maximum) difference, in terms first of brightness and then of color
