<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@faassen" class="u-url mention">@<span>faassen</span></a></span> Really? At that kind of size/scale?</p>
<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@dabeaz" class="u-url mention">@<span>dabeaz</span></a></span><br />I had this on my phone once. Perfectly circular too. Eventually I got more spots and lines.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://urbanists.social/@serial" class="u-url mention">@<span>serial</span></a></span> Hmmm. Interesting. Yes, both the right edge and bottom aren&#39;t quite symmetrical with respect to pixelation. I&#39;d expect perfect symmetry with the usual circle drawing algorithms (e.g., Bresenham circle algorithm).</p>
<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@deshipu" class="u-url mention">@<span>deshipu</span></a></span> I&#39;m kind of wondering if it&#39;s a way for the device (a gas pump) to visibly indicate a hardware/software fault of some kind. Perhaps like a warning light, but not one that would be easily informative to anyone except a knowledgable technician.</p>
<p>which rss/atom reader are you using (and why)?</p>
<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@dabeaz" class="u-url mention">@<span>dabeaz</span></a></span> The edges are not perfect, particularly on the bottom. Perhaps delamination by an air bubble or something pushing from behind?</p>
<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@deshipu" class="u-url mention">@<span>deshipu</span></a></span> Oh maybe. It definitely looks like it could be a &quot;mode&quot; thing in software.</p>
