Huh? Setting a schedule/location for nightshift and setting the dark mode setting to auto will always change instantly. If you use a launcher or spotlight then a simple one line applescript can change the setting as well. (tell application "System Events" to tell appearance preferences to set dark mode to not dark mode).

- spiznnx 3y agoIs this a common slang in infosec? I've never seen it used like this and it has highly insensitive connotations for me in other contexts.

- bertil 3y agoI had to google to check, and I’ve found so many interpretations that I feel like a linguist would have a field day with that word alone.
- linuxdude314 3y agoNo it’s not and its use should not be perpetuated in this context. It’s definitely the homophobia you are perceiving. No one misses the edge lords of yesteryear.

I’d say there’s a 25% chance that Dark Mode enables at sunset. It’s been this way for years — even up til Ventura. Has it worked flawlessly for everyone else the whole time?
- CoryAlexMartin 3y agoI have the same experience. Dark mode automatically turns on way later than I’d like it to. From the article: "It is an alternative to the built in macOS automatic mode which only switches when the user steps away from the computer." If I set up night shift, it will switch to dark mode at the time I set, but it also tints my screen (even subtly, if I turn the slider all the way down), which I don't care for as someone who does art.
- fingerlocks 3y agoOnly time it didn’t work flawlessly was because I had contradictory settings between my phone and MacBook
- balaji1 3y agothere seem to be many features that are flawless for some, and hit-or-miss for others. Example Airpods pairing, airplay are not always consistent.
- plorkyeran 3y agoI have never had any issues. Every single day I get the jarring shift as all the dynamically dark-mode-aware apps shift color schemes and realize that the sun must be setting.
