I wrote a whole post last year about how using #000 is often preferred. It’s incredibly annoying how hard it actually is to find themes that are optimized for OLED on desktop. Mobile is less bad but often, particularly in FOSS apps, black is an option.
I don’t even have an OLED display for my desktop and I’ve still preferred pure black background for the longest time.
I’m glad dark mode is a standard unlike 10+ years ago when you had to hack it in yourself most of the time. But Ui designers just seemed to be afraid of trying anything outside the standards Google/Apple etc put in place.
I think you could make an argument about depth & shadows being more difficult with a black background but I would question your design if those were imperative to the design.
Yes, and the PS2 was still more expensive than anything else on the market at the time. Plus there were shortages. I didn't even see a PS2 until mid 2002 when a coworker finally got one and invited us over for a party.
I’ve never understoof how Bateman became associated with being a cool suave guy. The movie portrays him as a loser despite all the murders. His coworkers make fun of him and he doesn’t even confront them, he’s visibly panicking when the detective questions him, his girlfriend is cheating on him and he knows it, he’s constantly doodling edgy drawings and listening to music instead of working, etc.
Its like people only watched the opening scene and the one in which he murders Allen.
That’s sort of the point. He’s hygienic, nice clothes and hair, makes a lot of money, and very fit but that’s really it. It’s all material success but no moral or emotional success
Of the movie, yes. But I thought that whole “sigma male” fad was for so called alpha male influencers giving their mostly awkward and shy audience an out instead of alpha lone wolf type guys that stay away from social circles out of their own free will and are content on their own, never losing their cool and composed persona. Bateman is anything but that, he’s impulsive, petty, envious, can’t control his emotions, is frustrated when he can’t stand up for himself in conversation and desperately craves the admiration of his peers.
Its like people only watched the opening scene and the one in which he murders Allen.
And the business card scene. But yeah, I think a large portion of people didn’t watch the actual movie, and only saw those three clips on youtube (including me).
Do you know the whole “alpha male” thing? There was an “alpha male YouTuber” who made a video on why sigma males are actually better than alpha males and it became a meme.
Above alpha. Imagine all the qualities those charlatans attribute to “beta males”, but spun into being positive things actually, that’s a “sigma male”. (e.g. you are not shy, you are a lone wolf cooler than everyone else)
So how usable is OLED for productivity and what WM/DM do you recommend?
I am toying with the idea of buying one, but people are saying that it sucks for productivity, and the text is less legible compared to IPS for example.
Gosh, Dude! Can you finally buy a holster instead of keeping it in your ass?! If you're rich enough for a deadly firearm, you're rich enough for something to carry it in!
