re: Project Gemini - Gemini in 100 words Reading that reminds us how far we have *not* come. We were promised jetpacks, and instead we got the internet. A pro-distraction, privacy violating, social fabric tearing, power tool. More Big Brother, less prophet / savior.
My honest hot take is that we made computers too easy to use. I appreciate how liberating computers and the internet can be for a lot of people but it has been far too easy to implement dark control through them.
If I dare reply your hot take with my hot take, It was engineers who implemented those dark patterns. I think that still “lots of people” see excel formulas as stuff that geniuses do, so I think it comes down to us. Will I write that privacy invading, psychologically manipulating code, or would I say no.
Sure, if I don’t do it “somebody else would”, but I wonder if that mentality has taken us here

#73water.css[0] and pico.css[1] are some of my favorite classless css libraries. There's a full list of them here: https://github.com/dbohdan/classless-css [0]: https://watercss.kognise.dev/ [1]: https://picocss.com/

#74So this is the way you're supposed to use it? Is this accessible? GitHub npm CDN
Only if you want a hyperlink that looks like a button. It's the only way I was able to do it in a classless way, but I'm open to other ideas.

That is sadly not the case. I disable dark reader for all sites supporting darkmode because it always changes them.
Are you using the dark mode detection feature?
Oh wow, wanted to write "that does not exist", but finally found it unexpectedly under "configure website toggling". Thanks, that will remove a big annoyance if it works :D

#76As it is often said in various designer forums, please avoid pure white (#FFFFFF) on black (here #111111), as it makes the text glow for the human eyes (therefore making it unreadable for long text). Instead, try to lower a bit the contrast on the text color. Also, the dispositions for the buttons at the beginning (GitHub, NPM, ...) are not adjusted correctly for keyboard navigation (each button requires two tabs). A…
Tufte is really nice but requires a custom font, which IMO is no longer minimal.
And totally agree with black text on white.

I suggest checking out milligram.io, I enjoyed using it a lot!
Re: Concrete.css
#78It makes me happy reading all the comments agreeing on the same thing, the web should be more minimal.

This really depends on the user's display and the viewing conditions. Someone with a TN LCD or even an OLED in bright light would likely prefer the "high contrast" #FFF on #000.
It's also an accessibility issue. People with astigmatism might have a hard time with bright text over dark background.

I love the bookmarklet from water.css, it allows you to turn lots of websites into something more readable.
Oh! I want aware of that! Thanks, have to look into it
