Troubleshooting the dark mode issue you mentioned- what browser were you using at the time? Might be a browser-specific issue since it tests normal on Firefox, Chromium, and Safari on my end, so knowing which browser lets me troubleshoot.

I'm using firefox! It's the case on noth of my PCs and my phone running firefox, even if I force-clear the cache. I'll test my extensions after work but it's just ublock origin and a password manager.

Huh! Which version of Firefox? That's the first browser I test on for both mobile and PC, so it's odd that it's not working on your end- now I'm even more curious what's going on.

Mobile is running 114.1.0 (Build #2015955411), but I doubt all my devices are on the same version. I do have a flag that sends websites dark mode requests, somehow, so I was wondering if it was a default background color being set differently by my browser or some weird CSS interaction like that.

Comfirmed that if I take my firefox out of dark mode, it makes the colors what they're supposed to be.

Thanks for all the details- to clarify, the Firefox flag is linked to the problem? That gives me something to look into if that's the case. If I can track down that flag, then I'll figure out how to make it cooperate if possible. Just to check, is it only on the sitemap/sitelog, or pages with the regular style as well?

Also, go Firefox!

That was enough information for me to replicate the problem! Manually set theme in the browser, right? I think I see it- I didn't set a variable properly for the Gummy Shark theme's dark mode, so it was reverting back to light colors where I forgot to set dark alternatives. Not sure why it didn't show up with the OS dark theme for me, but I think I fixed it- thank you for sticking with me on troubleshooting this!

Fantastic! All fixed. :) Thank you as well for playing along. And yeah, I've also got my desktops on dark mode but firefox has a separate theme that will change the defaults of some(?) pages. How do you have the CSS check for light/dark mode, by the by? Maybe I should add a light mode to my site :p

A media query! @media screen and (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {}, but @media screen and (prefers-color-scheme: light) {} works as well. Optionally, also add :root {color-scheme: light dark;} to tell the browser I support both light and dark (but prefer light; you'd want dark first).

I tried to read some of those types of books but most of the time they use self invented words that are more gobbledygook than anything. Some stuff is great. You ever read The Alchemist? It is very simplistic and a quick read. It is my favorite book. Really hits at the meaning of life.

i haven't read it but i'm familiar with it because a favorite artist of mine, Moebius, did some illustrations for an illustrated edition that i recommend checkin' out if you like the book

having spent a lot of time reading philosophy and different philosophers if i had to start from the absolute beginning all over again the two works i would recommend are A.C. Grayling's The History of Philosophy as a survey of the whole and Philip Wheelwright's translation and commentary on the fragments of Heraclitus for understanding the thought of a particular philosopher, which I have my notes for on my website

i recommend A.C. Grayling's book because if you read that you'll come away with a pretty good idea of which philosophers you might be interested in reading more of and which you aren't, although IMO his sections on Hegel and Marx leave a bit to be desired, the rest is solid stuff though

There was a thread today on 4chan about Heraclitus, was that you?

nah, i will very occasionally browse /lit/ when i want to burn time but i try not to browse 4chan too much because i think it rot my brain when i was younger lol, BUT the stickies and wikis that some boards have are exceptionally useful, shoutout to the /lit/, /v/, and /tg/ wikis

i think my general history/abandonment of 4chan is something i might actually make a blog post about eventually now that you mention it, i used to be a frequent/daily user when i was about 17-19 at some of the worst points in my life and it did not help at all lmao

i don't want to place the blame for being a really shitty person at the time squarely on 4chan though, there was a lot of other really unhealthy things i was doing at the time like browsing gore/shock websites, that combined with daily 4chan browsing turned me into a bitter, cynical, hateful person that i do not look back on fondly

Love the colors you've picked, and I definitely resonate with the idea that some ideas are so big and messy you need copy/paste. :) I also really love the idea of roads forming naturally between pieces of websites we use together.

Well-said! Vaguely reminds me of the concept of relationship anarchy in some ways, particularly with the call to think about relationships differently.

@owlroost Absolutely! I ended up sort of... inadvertantly and independently reinventing relationship anarchy? I'd never heard it laid out together, and was talking with my friends & partners already about my cobbled-together relationship philosophy for a couple years before I stumbled across posts about relationship anarchy and was like Oh! Someone else! A word for this! Not really plugged into the community, though.
