@benkiel@typo.social @TiroTypeworks@typo.social good to know. It took a lot to get the type and the browser communities to have any sort of meaningful dialog.

CSS has just added an image form of light-dark(). So as well as choosing between a pair of colors based on light or dark mode, you can also choose between a pair of images.
No you can't mix them because parsing would be hard.

@TiroTypeworks@typo.social Yeah I spent much of the weekend re-reading www-font and www-style archives and now have ptsd from the memories.
Your contribution was important, and appreciated both at the time and in retrospect.

The blog post has now been translated into Chinese:

This is an exciting release!
- HDR support
- 10-bit display support
- Full OpenType support
- CSS palette support for chromatic fonts
This is major. If you use web fonts to make websites then this is an indispensable tool.

@MyricaGale@mastodon.scot @nr@mastodon.scot @maggiechapman@mastodon.scot @katenevens@mastodon.scot @ScottishGreens@mastodon.scot I actually wrote to the SNP some years ago, asking them to consider creating a fediverse account and suggesting they register SNP.scot as a domain name.
I got a canned auto response.
But anyway, I am now a @ScottishGreens@mastodon.scot member, and pleased they have a presence here.

@qurlyjoe I *think* this is useful; it is certainly interesting. Navigation is sometimes 😲 unexpected.

@Havoc_online Confirming that emails from @ScottishGreens have a very similar tone - get involved, have your say, etc.

@tveskov I drink wine on some Zoom meetings. In a wine glass. After all if it is 11pm local time and I interrupted dinner to do the call, why not?
If you run a (recent) Linux, and you type `pngcheck` (with no arguments) what version number do you get? Feel free to respond with your Linux distro, if you want.

@Kerplunk Thanks, I hd planned to add that option but apparently polls have only four options.
Replying to
@Kerplunk what distro? And does it make it easy to install it (eg apt-get install pngcheck)?

@GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social also, if you are currently outside the EU, using a VPN to your EU country does not work.

@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org Does that mean the old publisher is no more? (I have hardcover Pepper & Carrot 1 to 3, was about to order 4 and 5. My six year old loves them).

@onlmaps@mastodon.social There was no Germany in 1870. Prussia was leading a confederation of north German states.
