or... just use darkreader :D

[-] eerongal@ttrpg.network 26 points 6 months ago

Seconding. Can't imagine not using darkreader in this day and age.

[-] BertramDitore@lemmy.world 20 points 6 months ago

Yup yup. Darkreader has improved my entire internet experience, which is a huge accomplishment. Works flawlessly 99% of the time.

or... just lower your monitor brightness so you don't feel like you need dark mode, which is actually worse in every way than just using the correct monitor brightness.

With everybody using black pixels, they're becoming more expensive as they rarefy worldwide. This kind of thing was to be expected, really.

I've seen this in many places. I don't remember them because I stop caring when I notice the cut of their jib.

[-] glimse@lemmy.world 18 points 6 months ago

Dextero is pretty trash in general so I'm not surprised in the slightest. So much bot content on there

[-] GreenEngineering3475@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Not a regular visitor, so can't say anything about there content.There was a discussion in the piracy community about the article, so went there to read it: https://www.dexerto.com/tv-movies/godzilla-minus-one-most-pirated-movie-2696285/

Sorry I didn't mean any negatively towards you there. I just remember what the site was like before it hit my blocklist. It was before chatgpt got big but everything I read on there was scraped info from other sites and full of errors

Sorry I didn't mean any negatively towards you there.

I took your previous comment to be a critic of Dexerto.Not towards me. No apology needed.

Thanks for warning me about their quality, its now on my blocklist too.

No prob..I avoid RockPaperShotgun, too, because 90% of their articles are thinly-veiled ads

[-] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 13 points 6 months ago

Arstechnica does this crap too.

Ars dark mode switching is infuriating, not an asshole design choice like Dexerto here

Be me,

  • Click on an article link in rss feed.Open in browser(in dark mode)

  • Ars technica doesn't change its theme.

  • Open the menu to switch theme, click on dark mode.

  • Goes to the homepage in dark mode.

  • Go back to rss reader click that link again.

That's a lot. I will stick to Dark Reader

Firefox with the extension "Dark Reader" is great. There are some websites I have to disable it, but it's rare. I also recommend uBlock Origin.

Edit: I see someone already recommended dark reader. But it really is a must have extension. It knows if your system theme is set to light or dark and matches it automatically.

CSS is so premium lol

[-] Interstellar_1@pawb.social 9 points 6 months ago

Lots of websites do this the other way around, too. It's very annoying.

[-] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 14 points 6 months ago

What, you have to enable dark mode to sign up?

[-] Interstellar_1@pawb.social 10 points 6 months ago

No lol just you need to sign up to enable light mode

[-] Num10ck@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

same with news.google.com

[-] affiliate@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

they won’t even turn off the ads if you pay them. what a joke

edit: oops i just saw that these are the “free benefits”

[-] Mwa@thelemmy.club 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)
