grumbling about the light/dark theme discourse
I've seen a lot of grumbling about the lack of light themes lately, and those complaints are generally valid, but also
Y'all do realize that this was *exactly* the situation for people who couldn't use light themes until a few years ago, right?
Depending on the ambient light level I have (different) issues with both light *and* dark themes so I get to experience *both* sides of the problem on a daily basis...
And I gotta say that I'm very unhappy seeing the current discussion framed as "dark themes are inaccessible" without any acknowledgment at all that *both* are problematic for different people for different reasons, and that the real solution there is for *both* options to always be available
grumbling about the light/dark theme discourse
@joepie91 I do mention it in subsequent posts. On the other hand, my issue was less about the existence of those (It's luckily quite usual to have more options now), but about shaming of people who use one specific variant. The times I've been told that "I'm not a real programmer if I don't use dark theme" and similar makes it especially tiring and awful.

@shine Oh yeah, I totally agree that that's some elitist nonsense. But I actually don't think I've seen your posts on this before - there have been a number of other threads that have been decidedly less... accurate in their criticisms

@joepie91 I think I kinda spawned that discourse this time because of my slight rant post.
