If you live in the terminal it's all dark mode*

* unless you are one of those weirdo's who has a black on white terminal in which case you should be on a watch list (/s in case wasn't immediately obvious).

I've been there since the DOS days when it was all dark mode, green phosphor characters on a black CRT. I was there when amber monitors were the new thing. (I still love sunglasses with brown lenses.) And I watched the early Apple computers with graphics and black-characters-on-white display style that has been the rage ever since... well since the recent new thing being dark mode.

It reminds me of fashion trends, miniskirts then maxis, up and down past the knee like tides.

Fads, that's the word.

I am exactly that kind of weirdo, but then again I’ve been reading black on white books for my entire life and I never thought to complain about it.
