Great, but they look terrible. I won't enjoy seeing these eyesores.

> one should actively seek out things that matter
After reading the word "bullshit" about 10 times in 5 paragraphs, a beautiful piece of advice emerged.
The "bullshit" avoided in life should be replaced with something meaningful to you! At the end of the day, a proud man has the realities of his past: meaningful work done, love loved, and suffering bravely suffered. Replace the nonsense avoided with things that matter in a 1 to 1 ratio.
mattymf | 3 years ago | on: Is Dark Mode Good for Your Eyes? (2020)
If you're saying blue light is actually a leading cause of eye strain, then how can you conclude that dark mode doesn't help with that? A large white background has significantly more blue light than a black or gray background. It is already known that dark text on a light background is easier to read in general, but with all the blue lights shining in your eyes it is certainly worth it to toggle dark mode throughout the day to let your eyes rest. The light text on a dark background should not be difficult to read if the environment outside the screen is bright enough. Your point about fine details becoming washed through dilation is true, but only relevant if you are reading in the dark. In which case turning on a light fixes that issue entirely.
Dark Mode _is_ good for your eyes, especially if you are feeling fatigued from reading so much text in light mode. Get a toggle dark mode reader for your browser! You don't have to choose one or* the other, but rather toggle as your eyes are feeling fatigued, or take a walk.

I think having a variety of shift options with research on all of them so people can make decisions for themselves would be a cool offering as a company. obviously many other things to consider.

I wonder if monetization was the only easy way to prevent abuse from the greedy hyper-thieves. Most people who used Z-Library weren't going to buy the books anyway.
The library allowed the hungry to learn while giving the greedy some difficulty. I liked their system. I'm not proud to condone stealing but, in my opinion, people were only stealing from the greedy or the teachers at heart, and the teachers at heart would've given away some of their books for free anyway.

Interesting article. This seems like a normal experience for any regulated industry selling abroad. Maybe this is the writer's first professional working experience ever? Maybe I'm overly critical.

Thanks, I now know these are called 'launchers'. I'm now using the Before Launcher [0]. It is pretty much what I want.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

So, you're living inside someone else's product, yet are upset because you can't personalize it as you please?
Google just changed my entire phone's theming system when I changed the background. I love it! I don't have time to personally pick and choose colors, so I'm very happy with this. Also, it matches the background! 10/10, please don't ask for my consent on this Google, I have enough popups from companies begging for my attention.
