It should be noted that Lex listens books in audio format as he mentioned many times in his videos. So, the analysis is interesting but doesn't take into account audio vs text format as also listening speed. Like I mostly listen fictio

We should think about colonizing Mars but not right away. It's like skipping 10 steps and trying to land on the 11th one without progressing naturally through all required evolutionary steps in the space tech development. It's lik

Interestingly, in some mock ups the ad completely covers the map—the main reason why a user would look at the screen at all whily waiting for Uber. This extremely degrades experience of using the service. This idea is the same way "cre

Depends on the product. If a product provides some value that requires additional resources for using it like cloud and keeping information constantly updated (like email) then subscription is fine. But many now create a product that just s

It's not clear why would anybody try to force a communication when there is no common interest, project, or actually any reason to communicate. It always looks fake and inevitably ends with discomfort. It's worth staying in touch

Interestingly, Google used to offer own extension "Personal Blocklist" to hide undesirable sites from displaying in search result. But it was removed, I guess not to mess with Google's manipulations with search results. Now t

Don't panic. You won't lose your purchases. So, to check what happens I cancelled "Google Workplace" subscription in one of my burner G Suite free legacy editions in the "Billing" section for one of the domains

As many here I use own domain with free Gmail. This Google move changes everything and maybe it's time to move to Microsoft 365 subscription which provides possibility to use own domain even with personal and family plans [1]. For the

Before the dislikes purge I more or less had 80/20 proportion of interesting videos vs bad videos after I clicked to watch them. Dislikes highlighted bad videos and made the choice easier. After dislikes were removed the proportion fli

Looks like an attempt to extort users with aggressive ads to pay for subscription. Don't want any ads? Pay. The way YouTube does to enforce paid subscription on people by bombarding them with huge number of terrible ads. Surprised peop

Those who write angry responses with an opposite opinion are not a majority. That's could be an example of a vocal minority. If some people are loud in their disagreement doesn't mean they are a majority. Those who agree often don

Standard default usually means light. Changing this to dark means forcing new default. Since there is a browser limitation in telling exactly what a user wants—dark UI and light content or dark UI and dark content—forcing a new default cons

Often it's importan also to distinguish UI and content. UI != content, but for some reason they are often treated as the same thing.

So, we still have the same problem. Web-sites think—despite there is being no way to tell that a user doesn't want dark web-site theme, just uses dark UI—that they should definitely unarguably force on a user dark theme. If it's o

Some people use computers in the middle of the day and don't want to stare at dark web-sites though.

I know what's happening and why. The thing is the web-site should not suppose anything. It'd better not change defaults at all and deliver conventional colors. If it offers an optional switch to change theme to dark that would be

Looks cool. More browsers should do the same.

No. When someone forces on everybody else own understanding of the world regardless of what other people want that's an absence. Not forcing own defaults and giving a choice—that would be more preferrable.

It's OK if a web-site uses the same dark theme as a brand style all the time. But there are some that force it ONLY when browser uses dark UI theme and it requires manipulation with browser theme setting to get the site in light theme.

Well, the web-site is wrong if it assumes I'd prefer everything to be dark, not only UI. This is one of the examples of absence of empathy and wrong conclusion about human behaviour by some coder.

by Mikho 5y ago
Maybe there should be a UI setting in browsers like "Make everything dark" or "Use dark version by default if a site has it" — to have a clear signal for sites with dark theme option about user's preferred choice.

Please, stop forcing a dark theme on a web-site visitors
