Depending on what kind of screen you have it makes no difference anyway.

fugepe ,

I hate nestle so fucking much its almost unhealthy

over_clox ,

I believe this hate you describe is actually healthy.

F any company that uses child labor.

newIdentity ,

If dark mode is so good, why isn’t it the default?

over_clox ,

Is nobody gonna comment on the photo of the child, when Nestlé is known to use child labor?

AlbyEvent ,

It’s a white child, don’t you see? /s

over_clox ,

Damn. 😂

JebanuusPisusII ,

I think companies should get some credit for putting their workers on the front page.

This is very strangely phrased. The “sustainable experience” to me suggests my personal experience like eye fatigue even tho “sustainable” is not the most fitting word for that. But the “contribute” suggests ecological subjects. Whatever it may be it is ur average corporate paternalism nonetheless.

Edit: Maybe im off here it may solely be greenwashing, the eye comfort take doesnt really make sense.

Agent641 ,

They try to greenwash, just just end up applying more clearcoat.

Snowman44 ,

Nestlé’s ethics already went to dark mode.

Stupid because it makes zero difference for any screen that uses a backlight, which is most of them. And then they could just set dark mode as the default if it actually mattered, which it doesn’t. You can be stupid, but to be really stupid takes a corpo like Nestle.

For oleds, it makes a difference and not an insignificant number of smartphones today use OLED screens.

However, if the microwatt-hour of battery saved by browsing a shitty website of a shitty company for a few minutes saves the planet is another story…

LiveLM ,

Whatever gets saved will be burned up by their megabytes of JS running in the background collecting single point of data they possibly can

Sssh. You shouldn’t tell such things in public 🤫

Aux ,

Contrary to popular belief, it doesn’t make that much difference on OLEDs. The thing about OLED is that different diodes consume different amounts of energy. Blue diode requires the most energy, green diode requires about the same amount of energy as the red one, but there are more green diodes in pentile screen.

Thus the only energy saving option is a dark red background. And no one is using it. It will also look like shit in most cases.

Here’s a paper which shows that dark grey background basically consumes twice as much energy as dark red one library.imaging.org/admin/apis/public/…/art00005

shadeless ,
@shadeless@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Yeah but if the OLED screen has to display black (RGB 000), it turns off the diodes completely. But as you said, most dark modes have a dark grey background which doesn’t do shit (jerboa has a black option btw)

Trainguyrom ,

The thing that’ll save more microwatts is if they removed about 3 dozen of the tracking scripts from the website but we all know no company website will ever do that

I feel kinda bad for the front-end sub contractor who just had to complete a checklist of PR friendly tweaks. To be fair, that pop-up box that wasn’t written by the same crust of greedy and incredibly toxic executives who have driven the company towards mislabeling food, wasting fresh water and polluting the earth etc

break1146 ,
@break1146@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Apart from this being completely stupid. Why don’t make dark mode the default mode?

narc0tic_bird ,

It should honestly just default to whatever the system is set to, because that’s likely what the user prefers.

break1146 ,
@break1146@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Yes, agree. I run Dark Reader so I barely even notice if anything is darkmode or not. But hard agree.

Willer ,

As long as i have lighting around the monitor i dont need to.

icyboyy ,

That the user can feel good about himself for “saving the planet”

gressen ,

Respect system settings first, only if no preference is set go to dark by default.

faintedheart ,

Nestle like world going dark. This is just a hint. They loot all water and world does dark.

Piers ,

You can be sure that they are counting every hypothetical drop of energy saved this way and taking credit for it to their benefit somewhere.

postmateDumbass ,

They just don’t want their water brusied by the hydroelectric plant.

But you can compensate by giving them your ground water.

If i get my share why not

HurlingDurling ,

Fuck Nestle

99nights ,

Nestlé lives in dark mode.

justsomeguy ,

The vampires of the Nestlé board don’t like being blinded by bright screens as they roam the night in search for the blood of the innocent.

BloodSlut ,

Please don’t compare nestle to vampires. Vampires still have a heart even if it’s not beating.

justsomeguy ,

Username checks out. Didn’t mean to offend your people. At least you suck blood for nourishment and not just for fun.

what even is a “more sustainable experience”

SubArcticTundra , (edited )
@SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml avatar

dark theme › slower battery usage › charging less often › less electricity usage › less coal power plants › less emissions › solved global warming. It’s simple really. Now you just need to turn off the tap while you brush your teeth.

dustojnikhummer ,

Only on OLED phones

nodsocket ,

Do they actually explain that anywhere on their site, besides the short sentence from the pic?

SubArcticTundra ,
@SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml avatar

🤷 But well pointed out, I did have to make a lot of assumptions to come up with this explanation. I can’t see what else they’d be implying though

Uno ,

Yeah, I’m assuming that’s the implications. Just more of “unplug chargers you aren’t using” and other now useless advice from 10 years ago before regulations were introduced/new evidence was found

In case anyone’s wondering, unplugging chargers apparently only saves 0.5% of household energy use. And on this page about saving electricity on computer use, “turning on dark mode” doesn’t even make the list of recommendations. Basically the main thing recommended was “put your computer to sleep when you’re not using it.”

nodsocket ,

The dark theme on their website isn’t even completely black… It’s a dark grey. The power consumption difference even on OLEDs would be very little, if anything at all.

Do… Do people leave the tap on? Why?? That doesn’t make sense.

SubArcticTundra ,
@SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml avatar

Exactly, I think it was a strawman made up by corporations so that they would look good trying to discipline people (put them on a moral pedestal)

randint ,
@randint@feddit.nl avatar

Believe me, it’s not a strawman. My friend does this, and I have tried many times to stop him from doing that, including trying to reason with him or just turning it off for him. He still does it. Not that he refuses to turn off the tap, he always agrees to remember to turn it off but just never remembers to do so.

Willer ,

Yes of course howelse am i gonna shower?

Willer ,

Most important point: …and anyone that thinks its unnecessary is destroying the planet. And that is a fact.

Willer ,

the one you can “contribute” to …
