Nice, although my first thought was "what was wrong with OSalt.com?" This site is definitely slicker, and more modern, though.
Man clicking on that link was like getting a flashbang thrown in my face ;-; but good to have 2 sources!
Sorry! I didn't anticipate that strong a reaction to a neutral-bordering-on-boring website 😨 I guess it hasn't aged well.
edit: Thought it was clear from context that I meant "a neutral-bordering-on-boring website design", but apparently not.
I think he was referring to the fact that the website has no dark mode, not anything related to content.
That's what I was referring to as well, but I see even that gets me downvoted around here 🙄 Some people need to chill out.
?? Are you living in a cave or something
I use dark mode everything, white mode is exhausting on the eyes even with blue light filter glasses
Modern monitors can output 1000 nits, which is super bright - same with cars. When I was young I sometimes saw yellowish headlights, which weren't bright enough, but now we have LED and Xenon lamps that burn the cornea from your eyes.
Or maybe we're (also) getting older.
I've always been a dark mode user where possible. White screens are just exhausting to look at. I'm 23 so I'd hope age hasn't affected me that much yet xD
Personally I see dark mode as an accessibility option and I specifically avoid services that do not have dark mode.
Sadly, work still uses stuff that doesn't have dark mode so after a work day my eyes are so tired.
Calling a white webpage a flashbang is a little silly. There’s preference then exaggeration
