The Gentry Living Color makes me think of Google, the color palette, the g letter..


Couldn't find a PPA or a docker image for it, would I need to install it from source?

I would really like to test AV1 with it.


The canonical way is just to grab the static build from the home page. You don't need a full OS container image to run a single binary.


Yes. PPA and Docker are great but compiling isn't too difficult and worth remembering how to do it.


The initial compile isn’t bad but the second you want to render some font on a video with ffmpeg on Ubuntu, good luck with that


Are the fonts compiled in?


This article reminded me of a Microsoft designer who had created many WMP skins during the Windows XP era. I think she had a website/portfolio which I can no longer find unfortunately.

Experimenting with Winamp and Windows Media Player skins is why I now design and program UIs.

The Y2K aesthetic hits home better for me, because I grew up during that time and not earlier.


What's the difference? I've been calling my AGPL and MIT licensed projects as free and open source.

Visible source proprietary code is not libre and not necessarily free. Potayto potahto.
