Big light mode has been stealing our memes for too long. It's time to push back.

You would have loved computing in 1980.

My computer growing up was black with green text. I don't even know what your talking about.

Need to be more inclusive, its 2026.

allow for any color text.

Red on blue, I wish my memes to be unpleasant to the eyes

Edit: Red text on a background of green squares of various shades. It reads, "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy."

Mmm all memes with text must be transcribed into a native text program that displays the text to each users customisations. Images are attached separately. If you fail to comply you get fucking IP banned lol

You joke but dynamic content based on site, user settings would be so damn cool and a great accessibility feature.

Granted it may take more data but there is so much more we can do with digital media than just static pictures.

Id love if pictures showed some actual buttons when you hovered over them that can change to a readable font. Feature an explanatory description (or easter egg) Copy parts of the text or link to the oc source.

Downvote posts that consist mostly or entirely of an image of text but don't also include a transcription in either the alt text or the body.

I want to hear more about this.

Unironically better than black text on white

Agreed

But are you Leto or Yueh?

Why can't the server ID the white background and inverse colors? I feel like it should be trivial. But I'm all in for your campaign!

I think I once made a comment that implies I'm Yueh, but I prefer to think of myself as the personification of the tooth as if it were a character in the novel.

Really? I appreciate your support, but that was the worst thing I could come up with quickly. I say that as someone who uses dark mode across the board, including solid black backgrounds and wallpapers. Should I have used dark brown text on a light blue background?

Yeah, I'm afraid I can't do that.

As much as I agree with you in spirit; come on now, let's let everyone enjoy things the way they wanna enjoy things.

Agree with this tbh

Hopefully less of an empty gesture! 😅

I'm just here to down vote you for "that's"

MY EYES!!!!

Light level is the problem I have. I don't need every single sub pixel outputting all of its light on every inch of the screen all the time. A flat black background with contrasting letters is ideal to me. I'm okay with sacrificing readability of the text for ease on the eyes.

Dave:
Open the pod bay doors, please, HAL. Open the pod bay doors, please, HAL. Hello, HAL. Do you read me? Hello, HAL. Do you read me? Do you read me, HAL?

HAL:
Affirmative, Dave. I read you.

Dave:
Open the pod bay doors, HAL.

HAL:
I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.

I hear that. I also like that it saves power in devices with OLED displays.

I love my dark mode too, but this sounds like brigading and brigading should be a banable offense on Lemmy & PieFed

Clearly should've been whoms's.

Was all in till I read your comment, now I gotta flip and upvote to a downvote

I would help, but I've already blocked every user who does that.

Fuck yeah!

Btw the other way you can do it (which will only be noticeable to users with screen readers) is to put the alt text between the square brackets.

![alt text](image url)

Whomst'd've the correct answer?

I'dn't've known.

Every time I look away from dark mode Lemmy and it's excess of text, I see stripes. Maybe it's not the way

The goggles, they do nothing!
