wow that was a huge waste of time, why write this or post it?
- TheRealPomax 11mo agoBecause the internet is for everyone, and it turns out that this content resonated with enough people for them to even upvote it enough to end up on the front page.
- llbbdd 11mo agoThen I guess my question is less about the author and more along the lines of the demographics of HN. This is stupid, why was it on the front page?
- CamperBob2 11mo agoBecause so many sites insist on shoving dark mode down their readers' throats, despite decades of reliable, repeatable human-interface research that has unequivocally demonstrated that it's the wrong thing to do. Any other questions, or are you short on time to waste yourself? Edit due to rate-limiting: It should, but apparently doesn't, go without saying that using a terminal is very different from reading a web page.

- llbbdd 11mo agoOh no this is hackernews, we can't just live - sites that use Javascript or anything introduced to the web spec (or human preference) post 1999 is suspect, and is your problem.
- llbbdd 11mo agoIs your terminal black-background-white-text?
- llbbdd 11mo agoEDIT: It's not different (removed my snark edit since you were apparently rate-limited but my point stands)
- buzzerbetrayed 11mo agoAuthor seems very angry that people are solving a problem in a different what than he’d prefer
