Why isn’t this a thing? Just turning your monitor into grayscale mode, changes the entire experience. Have you ever played a video game in grayscale? After such a long time of being used to overstimulation, it feels like being on antipsychotics. The constant exposure to multimedia, videogames and the mere display of colors change the structure of our brain. This is why I believe, we need to invent low dopamine computing. Or in other words: Making Digital Detox permanent. Unfortunately it isn’t that easy with the prevalent technology/OS. There isn’t even a way to turn Linux Mint into greyscale mode. It tells alot about the ideology of the developers, that they refused to implement a simple option to turn on grayscale mode.

This is not a thing because that’s not a concern for developers. They make the software in whatever way they think it looks best, maybe add some accessibility options, and leave the fine-tuning to the user’s display options. It’s strange to me that you interpret this as an ideology issue for developers.
