A long time coming, but because of their recent changes in the past couple of months if I have JS disabled on Wikipedia I either have an obnoxiously large blank margin on the right, or I get pop-up annoyed by this dark mode announcement with JS enabled and private tab browsing.
Yeah, I noticed that the JavaScript bloat is slowly taking over Wikipedia.
yeah, cant say im huge fan of the new margins, it’s starting to look more and more like every article tabloid site ever.
LOL took 'em long enough.
Isn’t this like one of the signs of the end times?
Praise Cthulhu!
Do not start a headline with “Darkness reigns over Wikipedia”!!!
What’s wrong with Darkness?
Wikipedia is about to become a really weird place…
Yes. Because so many people seem to have changed their belief systems.
Naturalism is essentially based on the strict adherence to Newton’s laws, which were shown to be slightly wrong in some cases.
whut
What part do you want me to repeat or explain differently?
No I just don’t get what any of that has to do with a joke about Wikipedia becoming weird because it’s being run by a crazy anime girl from Konosuba, that’s all…
Jokes are often about word associations and patterns.

I can’t be the only one who doesn’t see well with dark mode.
You’re not, but having both is awesoooooome!
Wiki “Darkmode” which can seeming be bought by anyone with money, to remove content makes WIKI a total lie.
They do not deserve or will earn our money. They are scammers and cheaters.
HACK THE PLANET - FUCK THE LIARS.
I’m confused about what you’re referring to. I’m reading this as people being able to pay for dark mode which somehow allows them to remove content? Maybe this is because I just woke up but I’m curious what you mean.
Long awake, didn’t get a thing
i’m moderately awake and this makes equally little sense to me.

Finally the l33t hax0rz from Anonymous can browse Wikipedia in peace
democracy dies in dark mode
All jokes aside, I might imagine it wasn’t all easy to do it correctly. Great job!

Oh look at that. It was hiding from me.
Yeah but that requires cookies. Not everybody allows them. I block everything that isn’t a first party cookie, and set them to delete every time I close my browser.
To be fair though, “The website doesn’t remember my settings because I don’t let it,” isn’t really a problem the website can solve.
I just had a thought that I’d like to see a plugin that independently remembers whichever cookie-based settings you want it to on a per-site basis and then re-inserts those settings into fresh cookies whenever you visit using some sort of search & replace or markup interpeter. Basically a way to maintain personal control over what data cookies can hold.
maybe it’d be nice if we just had “config registers” alongside cookies that just allowed us to store a single bytes worth of information in it or something. Would be perfect for things like darkmode.
They could solve it by not using tracking cookies so that I don’t have to do this in a futile attempt to protect my privacy.

pretty sure mobile darkmode for wikipedia has been avaliable for a while now
The Wikipedia app has had dark mode for a while. Plus dark mode in Firefox works fine with no extensions.
Dark Reader on Firefox mobile works well for me!
Wikipedia has needed a plugin to be usable for a very long time. That Plugin gives you dark mode, on top of a bunch of other necessary features.
Your definition of necessary and what most people consider the word necessary to mean seem to contradict each other. Here you seem to mean it as ‘nice to have’ whereas the actual definition is ‘required to be done, achieved or present; needed; essential’
:p
Did someone use digital blotting paper on the Moon article?
