It desperately needs that zine no-halftone-screen* look. No mention of central scrutinizers or catholic school girls, either. I've never colon-q'd something so fast in my life. Like, gag me with a spoon.

* the halftone screens are not for use with tobacco or legal herbs.

EDIT: referring to parent's mention of https://9front.org/propaganda/




You made me google "no-halftone-screen". I'm lost!

when you used analogue b/w reproduction to produce a 'zine, continuous-tone images would be badly posterised unless you used screens to halftone them


Screens as in physical filters.

It's a paper printing semi-analogue process to solve the problem (not enough colors, need to simulate colors spatially) that that semi-digital electronic screens use dithering for.

It's dual to "anti-aliasing", where we use an abundance of colors to simulate missing spatial resolution.


I can't do anything on my own comment. I don't know why it got flagged tho. Don't people read hacker news? Wasn't there an article yesterday or so about CSS discussions around "masonry" layout options to be added to grid or flex or whatnot? If you're ignorant move on I guess.
