@metin Atkinson Dithering is my favourite! I still use it for transferring art my kid draws on modern tools to Commodore 64!

I put my tools for doing ”to palette” dithering online on github, use freely for your retro needs!

#AOSP isn't dead, but #Google just landed a huge blow to custom #ROM developers
Some people are speculating Google is planning to discontinue AOSP, company says these claims are false.
Google removed device trees and driver binaries for #Pixel #phones from #Android16 #sourcecode, significantly complicating custom ROM development. #Android-maker intentionally omitted these resources as it shifts its AOSP reference target from Pixel to a virtual device called "Cuttlefish."

Bill Gates' "Source Code," was released earlier this month — the first of three planned memoirs by the Microsoft co-founder. Here's a critical look at the book and what it reveals about his privileged start, early years in business, and the tech industry as a whole. "He is largely uncritical of his own path, only occasionally admitting he treated someone poorly. Ultimately, his book is a useful insight into the source code of the tech industry, but not always in the ways Gates likely anticipates," writes Dana McKay, Associate Dean, Interaction, Technology and Information at RMIT University, for @TheConversationUS.
