We moved to !casualconversation@piefed.social please look for https://lemm.ee/post/66060114 in your instance search bar

Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

researching how to generate art with a computer quickly in text form (pbm) and save it in a better format (webp/png/jpg):

This is what I landed on, using the magick command, my_program outputs to stdout, magick reads from stdin using the -:

my_program | magick - output.webp

https://imagemagick.org/script/formats.php

I plan to use this in further weeks to draw rectangles, circles and other things in different configurations on bitmaps using only integer-based math.
