Anyway:
- I dislike change. I know it's not a good argument, but I don't like change.
- I don't have a lot against dark mode, on a phone. But...
- Running an IDE or word processor in dark mode screams unprofessional to me. I work in a well lit office environment, during the day. In a bright office I struggle reading in dark mode.
- Using dark mode because you "don't want to have your eyes scorched", is the argument of a hobbyist, working in their bedroom.
- I like to view my end product on screen. I'm not printing documents in dark mode, and presentations are more easily viewable with a light background.
It's not an argument for or against dark mode, but dark mode seems like that time, back in the 90s, when people insisted on using a blue background for word processing. We're just going in circles on this.
Then in the 90s, such restrictions were largely dropped in most languages, and symbol names ballooned in size to take advantage of this new freedom.
But with great freedom comes great responsibility. I think Microsoft went from digestion noices to indirectly advertising their stake in arthritis medicine. I mean my fingers ache just looking at C# or PowerShell.
What was so wrong about puts or cout? I know it's not the most intricate functions, but going from a 4chr function to "Console.WriteLine()" is a symptom.
And as long as I'm already a riled up old fart, let me tell you about autocompletion. Why does MS have to autocomplete entire commands from ambiguous strings?
And the kids don't get it. They don't even write the code anymore, let alone understand it... I want coffee flavoured coffee, heavy metal and for dark mode to fucking die!
That felt better, I'm sorry for anybody making it this long.

3d 8h ago in mildlyinfuriatingMy dude, you cross posted 4 5times. We're like 10 people on this platform. I understand your frustration, but not getting what's on the picture isn't really that interesting. You might as well cross post "water is wet, more at eight"
Edit: I miscounted

I feel like I just replied this a minute ago. Why cross post when lemmy's so small everything hits the front page?
