many times I’ve seen a new post and said "I’d buy a pile of that as stickers and put them up all over ‘amazonville’ (nobody calls it that- the chunk of Seattle where scamazon raized the old, gloriously grungy bars, affordable apartments and light industrial buildings, replacing it all with techbro filled, sterile glass towers and impossibly priced luxury condos)

for debian based systems, there is a PPA with nightly builds. I use a quick and dirty python script via systemd to schedule nightly builds from the PPA’s source pkg on both debian and popOS with good results. worst case you can roll back to a prevous build of the pkg, tho Ive never had to

“hue” refers to a color value in how it differes from other colors (red vs blue), but is separate from “lightness” or “saturation.” a “light blue” may have the same hue as a “dark blue.”

have you ever seen the color pickers with a giant rainbow circle, and a separate white/black slider? the rainbow circle is for selecting the hue.
