btw also fuck websites that only have dark mode

"erm, who even likes light mode? XD"

people who have astigmatism for example, also people who dont suck

i have my entire fucking desktop in light mode, every single one of the apps i use right now are in light mode

because fuck you

also probably just adjust the brightness of your monitor, if light mode hurts your eyes it's probably just because the contrast between the screen and your environment is too high

Yes, accessibility is important! Some of us need light mode, some need dark mode... and sometimes, its based on the environment! it can be so bright or sunny that light mode is necessary to even see it on the screen! Sometimes its the opposite, super dark and light mode would be too great of a contrast. That's accessibility for literally everyone lol. Its so important to have both modes.

@inconspicuous-lurker-99 it's extremely easy to do nowadays in modern CSS

i still don't understand why people still hardcode their stuff like that :(

also discord light mode is downright disrespectful using gray text on a white background

@inconspicuous-lurker-99 discord is so incredibly cursed i'm honestly scared of it

@nelson @inconspicuous-lurker-99

Because you get people with old Firefox forks calling you names because your website looks bad on their 3 years old browser

# “Oh i didn’t realize it was this old”

@gabboman @inconspicuous-lurker-99

let em call me names, i'll enjoy their suffering.

@nelson do you mean everyone who uses dark mode inherently sucks

@ariarhythmic YESS!!!!

... no, i'm joking, i also use dark mode, just at night lol

@nelson

also probably just adjust the brightness of your monitor

my monitor is at minimum brightness most of the time and in a dark room that’s still too bright

@nelson @inconspicuous-lurker-99 privacy.resistFingerprinting forces light mode, that's probably why

@noisytoot @inconspicuous-lurker-99 i didnt want to believe in the whole "privacy oriented browsers are almost unusable by how many things they disable for privacy's sake" but yeah it seems like it actually is the case

god...

yes sadly this is true... I have great luck using Dark Reader on LibreWolf, although... im not sure just how compromising this extension might be to my privacy ahahaa... i have no idea if i can trust it

it helps to have the toggle button that some websites have :p

@nelson it's really just a matter of personal preference, or accessibility

or times when you have a screen that just doesn't get dim enough to ever be comfortable in light mode, or an OLED screen

@inconspicuous-lurker-99 @nelson According to this, you can disable privacy.resistFingerprinting and use privacy.fingerprintingProtection instead, which has a privacy.fingerprintingProtection.overrides setting that you can change to “+AllTargets,-CSSPrefersColorScheme” to disable the forced light mode.

I’m not sure why they added a new setting instead of making resistFingerprinting overridable, or what exactly the differences are.

Cool! I think resistfingerprinting does a lot more, and they wanna keep those other features working while fixing light/dark mode, which i totally agree with :p

@nelson

having astigmatism (and other eye conditions) I find high contrast dark themes/pure black themes much better than light themes for myself.

I have great difficulty reading black-on-white texts (and so much white gives me headaches)

but many sites/sns low contrast dark themes, especially when combined with colored text, are an unusable mess

So basically I have to choose between not been able to use the site because everything is too bright and not being able to use it because there isn’t enough contrast and I litterally cannot make up the shapes of the letters when they’re certain colours (red,magenta and green mainly) over a gray background
