@eff "We applaud Meta's effort" what, and i mean this sincerely, the fuck? you're either embarassingly naive in your take, or you're preemptively kissing the ring of fascism already

@damieng https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4BJqDD_ce8 for colour ones

@damieng good stuff! https://www.splintered.co.uk/experiments/124 #pixelfont #pixelart

@damieng it varies. for mame/emulator ones, i try to use the tile map viewer (F4 in mame, other emulators vary). i've been known to binxelview amstrad/c64/spectrum roms. for some games, i do end up screenshotting like crazy and doing manual reconstructions (did that recently for some Amiga ones). if i DO manage to get to the tile view ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZY7hoIeKcsQ

@damieng oh, don't get me wrong, it's not a case of duplication/"i've done this already". always happy to see people discover some of these gems as well. sadly too lazy to implement search on my site - used to be easy enough to google for site-specific results, but Goog has obviously dropped that feature to push AI down and ads down our throat. searching on fonstruct might work better https://fontstruct.com/fontstructors/145/redux

@damieng it's ... a bit like cross-sticthing. nice thing to just switch my brain off, watch a movie or something on the second monitor...and at the end I get a font :)

@Gargron @ctietze "everybody else is doing it this way" is not the best excuse. again, to be clear: for accessibility (and general usability), you'd really want to be able to send folks to an HTML destination - it's not about having shareable images, but shareable links

@Gargron @ctietze war also leider ein kleiner griff ins klo in sachen #accessibility ... sorry

@Gargron @ctietze because yeah, for the most part i'm seeing folks share a screenshot with either *no* alt text, or something generic like "my wrapstodon!" which of course is pointless for screen reader users because it still doesn't give them any of the info actually there.

@Gargron @ctietze that's the point: you don't want to share this as an image, you want to share it as a link so that other people can see it (and screen reader users can explore the info directly, rather than relying on individual users trying to add alt text to it that captures all the info there). in short: let users link to their wrapstodon results...

@ctietze oh yeah, was wondering if i'd missed something here... christ, not even a "share" button or something on that thing. no wonder folks are doing the "let me share a screenshot of this thing" bollocks #wrapstodon

@nixCraft need to put an apple mouse next to it, on its back, charging via usb-c cable ...
