[ Community Challenge 77 ] Parody

Theme

Imitation for Comic Effect: Parody involves imitating the style and elements of an existing work (in this case, the "Harry Potter" franchise) for humorous or satirical purposes.

[ Community Challenge 72 ] Duotone

Theme

Duotone refers to a method of creating images or prints using two contrasting colors or tones. This technique is often used in photography and design to enhance the visual appeal of an image by applying two distinct colors to different parts of the image, such as highlights and shadows. Traditionally, duotones were created by overprinting two halftone screens, one typically black and the other a contrasting color like blue, yellow, or red.

In modern design, duotones are used to create visually striking effects by limiting the color palette to two contrasting colors. This can make images stand out, especially in backgrounds or as focal points in design projects. Duotones can also be used to evoke a specific mood or aesthetic, such as a vintage look with sepia tones.

Any subject/theme is welcome, as long as duotone is applied.

The aim of a streamlined user interface is appreciated, but the current trend towards extreme minimalism can be counterproductive. It often leads to a cumbersome experience where accessing common features or information requires unnecessary navigation.

Take, for instance, the display of the author's name and instance. Certain Lemmy applications deem the instance trivial and choose to hide it, while others omit the author's details from the main feed entirely, necessitating extra steps to uncover them.

Another example is the ability to view upvotes and downvotes as distinct figures. While some may only want the aggregate score, the absence of this feature overlooks the preferences of users who value this detail.

Implementing optional features like displaying author names, instances, or separate up/downvote counts gives users more control over their app experience. This way, those who prefer a clean interface can keep it that way, while those who value specific details can have them readily available.

I am looking for scifi novels based on real scientific concepts, but with easy to follow plots and characters.

My English level is proficient in a professional setting, and I have no problem reading academic, medical or scientific articles in English.

I love watching documentaries on BBC, but I sometimes struggle watching dramas and sitcoms without subtitles.

I am mainly trying to find audio books that I can listen to while driving. I am half way through listening to Carl Sagan's Contact on audio, it is great and not too difficult because I've already watched the movie many times.
