There is of course the supposed capitalistic reason of doing so, which is to make it more lucrative for others to build additional homes. Additional homes should in turn dampen the prices again. This however hasn’t been panning out the last few decades, as the prices have kept inflating.
What a beautiful image! It reminds me of my childhood, when I used to play outside with my friends until the street lights turned on. We would ride our bikes, play hide and seek, or kick a ball around. Those were the days of innocence and joy.
I mean, is cannibalism really the worst problem here?
Humans are omnivores and if the alternative is to throw unused human parts underground or cremate them, feeding them to new humans is at least not a waste.
I mean, in many cases you could. In many places there aren’t even laws against it. I’m personally of the opinion that we should treat animals similar to how we would treat humans, thus the translation for others to consider the same.
Since I got a nice extension called Dark Reader for Safari on my Mac I fell in love with that extension, now I can’t stand webpages which do not support system based dark mode, and this happens on Android too....
Kiwi would be a possible alternative. It’s a Chromium based webbrowser that supports dark mode websites natively. As if that wasn’t enough it also supports extensions. You can simply install those from the Chromium webstore. So if its native dark mode implementation isn’t to your liking, you could use one of your preferred extensions. play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kiwibro…
Yes, Firefox would also be a great alternative. Chromium itself, on which kiwi is based, is a open source webbrowser supported by large corporations. As you were already using chrome, kiwi will bring you a more familiar experience.
The underlying blink engine, which these browsers (chromium, kiwi, edge, opera, Samsung, etc) use, has a combined market share of over 70%(over 80% on desktop). This can be both a positive or a negative. For you the user, it ensures compatibility. Every website with any kind of active development, will run in your browser, as who would ignore over 70% of the market?
Though while it is open source, having one engine this big, and being mostly backed by large corporations, will possibly bring issues similar to the internet explorer days of old. A stagnating non open standardized web. This makes our support for alternatives a possible necessity to ensure a open and free web.
Firefox is a great alternative, though of course with its own quirks. Being on the smaller side, though rare, means website support isn’t always there, so that would be something you’d have to be able to deal with. I would definitely try the browser yourself and see if it fits the purpose you seek.

For households it depends on your contract with the energy companies. There are certain contracts which let you pay a fixed fee on top of market prices, but you’ll move with hour by hour fluctuations of the market prices. This might be interesting for those with smart homes who can schedule many of the more energy intensive appliances to run when prices are at expected daily lows. Or because you generally dont use much power in the expensive moments for your region.
These contracts however also remove most of the protection you enjoy from price spikes due to technical failures in the grid, or errors in weather prediction for renewables.

Do we have a way to force all web pages to go to dark mode system based with Chrome?
