Show HN: A gayer “lolcat” (CLI text colourizer)
- conradev 6y agoDoes this support 24-bit true color?
- jmgrosen 6y agoIt appears so! https://github.com/ms-jpq/gay/blob/95129960bc94f017648b93944cfa65205fc646ab/gay#L215-L216 https://github.com/ms-jpq/gay/blob/95129960bc94f017648b93944...
- buboard 6y agoThats a kinda insensitive stereotype
- ksaj 6y agoThere are some stereotypes that are considered funny by both; those the joke is about, and everyone else. A look at the crowd at any Pride parade suggests rainbow colours on everything is pretty much universally humourous. Everyone hates hatred. But this particular stereotype has rather a positive, celebratory air to it.
- owouwuowo 6y agoI certainly do not mean to cause offense to LGBT people, in fact I am one of them! I don't see how having a CLI tool that prints our flags insensitive tho.
- buboard 6y agonot all gays subscribe to being flamboyant/colourful
- ksaj 6y agoI have a feature request - something to keep foreground from being the same colour as the background. Otherwise there is a lot of unreadable text. It's actually a useful utility for your Pride Month dashboard: cal |gay -c24
- owouwuowo 6y agothats actually a hardish problem to solve. I originally had a feature like that, but I just couldn't figure out what background colours to use. For example the asexual flag here https://ladygeekgirl.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/asexual-flag.png https://ladygeekgirl.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/asexual-fla... Its black, grey, white, and dark purple, I just don't know what kind of background colour would actually make text more legible. I could do different background colours for each gradient, but thats probably even ugiler. Do you have any suggestions?
