FWIW, you might also consider Firefox’s built-in reader view, which can be configured to use a dark theme.

mox@lemmy.sdf.orgto Games@lemmy.world•Day 259 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playingEnglish4·1 year agoI noticed a change in your titles a few days ago. What happened to “until l forget to post Screenshots”? I don’t think you forgot, did you?
Qt is still the only excellent cross-platform desktop GUI framework.
It’s a pity that its current custodian’s commercial licenses:
- are subscriptions
- are painfully expensive for a solo developer or small group
- have a reputation for triggering legal threats and badgering from The Qt Company if one ever wants to end their subscription or (separately) use the open-source license for a FOSS project
This situation makes me afraid to use their commercial offerings, which in turn means they won’t get any money from me at all; I feel that I can safely use their libs only in open-source code. Their business model is their decision, of course, but I can’t help wondering if their whale-hunting approach actually nets them more money than a more accessible, lower-cost, one-time (or one-major-version) license option would. In many other industries, high sales volume reaps more profits than high price.
Thank goodness for the KDE Free Qt Foundation.

(I’ll never endorse PulseAudio, though; it’s garbage.)

Looks like others have noticed the problem as well:
mox@lemmy.sdf.orgto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•The Last of Us Part II Remastered is Steam Deck VerifiedEnglish1·1 year agoThat misses the point. The Last of Us Part I is Steam Deck verified, but it consumes far too many resources.
Do note that I’m not just talking about the Deck. Some hardware can run it smoothly, some can’t, but in all cases, it’s an insultingly bloated pig of a port.
Sure.

I love this instance in principle, but it has had recurring technical problems since before I joined, and I don’t have any reason to think that will change. I suppose they just don’t have the resources to keep up with lemmy issues. I’m using a different instance now.
