Dark mode, night mode, light-on-dark design, or whatever you want to call the version of computer content that doesn’t feel blindingly bright at night…
Don’t wanna be that guy, but these template news-article openings always make my brain hurt. Come on, as if everyone has ever called it anything else than “Dark mode”.
A long time coming, but because of their recent changes in the past couple of months if I have JS disabled on Wikipedia I either have an obnoxiously large blank margin on the right, or I get pop-up annoyed by this dark mode announcement with JS enabled and private tab browsing.
If you are on desktop and you aren’t sure how it works, try out this Wiki page and in the top right corner you can see an “eyeglasses” looking icon. Click that and set it to Automatic or Dark.

Very happy to see it come to wikipedia!!
But I think it also needs some polish. The contrast is too high and the blue on black of the hyperlinks is too garish for sure.
LOL took 'em long enough.
democracy dies in dark mode
I can’t be the only one who doesn’t see well with dark mode.

2 down, 14 more to go. Nice.
Right? We are going to do all of the basic 16 terminal colors, right?
Finally the l33t hax0rz from Anonymous can browse Wikipedia in peace
The Washington Post: “Democracy dies in darkness”
Wikipedia: “Knowledge that is shared in torchlight is fucking awesome”
From what I’ve seen, it dies in plain sight to standing ovations
Such innovation

The year is 2024, hacker news stands strong as only remaining website to not offer darkmode.
Thou art forbidden to peruse our content in the dead of night; verily, our content is for the light of day alone.

“Getting paid is weird and sometimes hard” Wtf…
Just hacker things
Have you heard of lightbulbs?
Gotta get Hack, its an HN client/front-end. Beautiful and has all that stuff, otherwise the website is very non-addicting to me, I’ll give them that.
Thanks, I ended up getting harmonic. Seems to do the job. It’s baffling that hacker news is like that
I thought this was gonna be about Wikipedia finally shutting down because nobody donates
