OK. My theme has randomly changed to light at least a couple times in the last 2-3 years. Should I be worried that this fox does indeed exist?
(I am using an advanced speech-to-text Lemmy client to post this, because, I don’t know, some creature just tampered with my setting and I am blind now)
Ironically deleted your Firefox and installed Chrome
Unlike most houses, in mine the Fox won’t change the default browser.
The Fox is the default browser.

DID YOU ACTIVATE MY GOOGLE ASSISTANT???
SUMBUDDY A TOUCHA MAH SPAGHETT!
I’ve never wanted to kill a fox before but at least I’ll have a nice orange hat with a tail now.
I killed the fox many times before when it hang my system
I’ll just turn it into my web browser
Real shit
Limmy pls.
anyone else miss how you used to be able to simply set all the colors and fonts for things yourself? And it was easy. It wasn’t just light theme or dark theme and those are your only two options, but really whatever you want.
windows xp truly was peak windows.
(everyone should switch to linux, btw)
Yes!
It think it’s actually why I’m a Linux user, now.
(I like to claim it’s because I’m very good at software and I understand sustainability principles.)
But…also…Windows took away my pretty desktop.
My carefully tuned, color coordinated, work of art, desktop environment just went away during a Windows upgrade.
And my journey to find a better OS began.
(hanged your theme to light
It’s crazy how the first time I read the comic I was fine understanding it but you hacked my brain and now I cannot read that character as a C anymore.
Glad I’m not the only one
Dark mode users just don’t know how to adjust their screen brightness properly.
Imma keep it real with you. I ain’t fiddling with my monitors buttons to change the brightness three times a day.
I have all my monitors at maybe 10-20% brightness and still use dark mode for everything. It’s the way of the cave dweller.
I miss CRT monitors in text mode with the field in “idle CRT screen” black and the text in cyan
Dark mode tries, but always goes for maximum contrast
I have my monitor on 30% brightness with dark mode always enabled.
Controversial opinion: if your monitor is set to the proper brightness for the room’s ambient light, light or dark theme becomes a matter of preference. If you’re in a completely dark room with your brightness set to 100%, then of course a light theme won’t work.
Depends on the person’s eyes as well. I have a pretty bad astigmatism that makes dark mode god awful to read.
Thank you! I hate how many people act like dark mode is The One True Way these days. No, I don’t want to use feckin’ dark mode, I’m sorry I don’t have your 1337 h4x0r eyes. I have shoddy astigmatism eyes and find it very uncomfortable to use dark mode.
The problem I have with light theme is contrast. I can’t read skyblue text on cool white background.
Although the one light theme is quite good in that regard.
My problem is kind of the opposite - most light themes I’ve seen are too contrasty and I can’t discern the different colours all that well, moreover too much contrast is tiring to my eyes. Black text on white background is about the same as white text on black background. Most of the time I prefer dark themes, but those with low or medium contrast.
Fair enough, whatever works for you - but I feel like this is more of an exclusion and the majority of people are just too lazy to set their monitor brightness properly.
Ok now sell me a monitor that tracks the light level like my phone and adjusts its brightness accordingly.
Ok so most monitors sold today support DDC/CI controls for at least brightness, and some support controlling color profiles over the DDC/CI interface.
If you get some kind of external ambient light sensor and plug it into a USB port, you might be able to configure a script that controls the brightness of the monitor based on ambient light, without buying a new monitor.
Ah yes, just buy some gadget, write some scripts and maybe it actually works if my monitor supports it. OR I KEEP USING DARK MODE. Choices choices…
I’ve thought about this as well, but I haven’t been able to find such a light sensor.
Turn on a lamp
There are actually some models already with a built in ambient light sensor. I don’t know how much of a convenience it would be, whether it would be distracting if small changes in ambient light make the brightness go up and down all the time. I personally prefer changing it manually - I have a macro pad with knobs which are mapped to do that.
I too, just disable the ambient sensor, but if I had to have one,
I’d rather have one that sends the sensor data to the PC, via an Open Protocol over DDC and let the KDE brightness setting handle the Brightness value decision (which would be easily configurable, of course).
But i have to have my monitor on max brightness else i can’t see anything due to my dark theme!
Not an opinion, I have an actual situation with my eyes where they twitch uncontrollably when presented with bright lights for a long period of time. I have tried minimum screen brightness, lowered contrast/colors, auto brightness based on the environment, various software solutions to removing blue light 24/7 from the screen - none of it worked. Went permanently dark theme on everything, magically eyes haven’t twitched in years.
Light theme vs dark theme is not just a preference, it’s an actual accessibility need for some of us.
The opposite is true as well! Some people literally can’t read white text on a black background.
Including both light and dark mode is a matter of accessibility!
It’s the perfect crime, I’ll be unable to post about it on Lemmy.
Friends don’t let friends use a dark mode.
Real friends let’s their friends do what they want and don’t gatekeep themes.
Whaaaat
Depends. On Linux or older macOS where light mode typically means a comfortable light gray? Light mode is the way to go. On Windows where light mode means an eye-searing onslaught of #FFFFFF? Dark mode is the only sensible choice.
Calm down Satan.
I’m glad we aren’t friends.
