    It's not.. `light-color` refers to the colour you want presented if the user's preference is for a "light" theme. It's not declaring the relative brightness of the two colours - I …

    Tell HN: Raspberry Pi 4 8GB available again

    There has been a lot of discussion about Raspberry Pi availability over the past year. I've indicated in the comments that supply chain issues were close to being resolved - so her…
