Only the website unfortunately, it's a separate thing from Lemmy/Masto/etc. Personally I'm using the Numbers style on the template. The number corresponds to the index of the color in the pallet (starting at White=0), so you just have to count to get the right color. That works for me on mobile
(minor nit that I must pick: EST is winter time (UTC-5), we are on daylight savings/summer time now, which makes it EDT (UTC-4))
Was scrolling though some older posts from last year, and came across @the_dopamine_fiend@toast.ooo's idea to do the Arecibo message. So, here it is! Centered on the right edge because why not?
https://canvas.fediverse.events/#x=445&y=253&zoom=1&tu=https%3A%2F%2Fupload.wikimedia.org%2Fwikipedia%2Fcommons%2Fthumb%2F5%2F55%2FArecibo_message.svg%2F320px-Arecibo_message.svg.png&tw=25&tx=475&ty=212&ts=ONE_TO_ONE
Technology Connections mentioned!
This year will apparently "start at 500x500", which iirc is half the dimensions of last time. If I dare read into things a bit, I'd say it's probably expanding over time
How big will the canvas be this year? There was a fair bit of whitespace last year, but even with minimal notice limited only to Lemmy, it was almost the perfect amount for everything to fit without overlapping
One year down, many more to go!
Well at least you got the time right... lol
In that bog there was an idiot
Rare idiot, a picklin' idiot
Idiot in the bog
And the bog down in the valley, oh!
Hey wait a minute, this isn't !theowlhouse@lemmy.world!
This feels like a Henry Stickman option
Before even getting into the episode, I must complain about the episode art: The highway sign says "ROUTE" and has the shape of a US Highway shield (which is often called "route", so that's correct), but is then colored like an Interstate Highway shield, which is a very different system and should not be confused (US (and state) routes are basically just normal roads, just higher priority, and Interstate highways are major controlled-access thoroughfares with much stricter design standards)

Well, looks like it works so far! @Demigodrick@lemmy.zip I was about to suggest not posting the backlog, or at least limiting it, but seeing as there were only 3 posted here and the feed goes back 10, I take it you already though of that
Now that I think about it, it would also be nice to add some title formatting kinda like the autoposts. Then these could be tagged as "[Newsletter] Feb 26: ...."
Ooh, looking forward to Zippy's RSS feeds! I was considering dropping in some of Tom Scott's newsletters into !tomscott@lemmy.zip, but wanted to automate it from the RSS. Zippy support would be great for that
And thanks of course for the TADC community shout-out
I wonder if this was inspired by a recent xkcd?

At text: People may complain about readability, but even with jpeg compression, extracting the data points is usually computationally feasible if there aren't too many of them.
The description does say it contains interference modifications, most notably increasing text size. This seems more like a "(grand)parent mode" preset than just any sort of ruse to keep the data farms running
The only options are either keep it exactly as is or faithfully recreate it on the canvas. It perfectly represents the spirit of Canvas in a way a more polished/"good" logo never could
