Zach LeathermanA very unscientific poll about light and dark modes on web sites:
My vision requires that I use light mode
My vision requires that I use dark mode
I prefer to use light mode
I prefer to use dark mode
Poll ended at .
Wolfr@zachleat I prefer to use light mode when ambient light = light and dark mode when ambient light = dark

Richard Bruskowski@cbirdsong @wolfr @zachleat That would be nice! There's https://github.com/insidegui/DarkModeBuddy for macOS but it doesn't work with external displays.
@cbirdsong @wolfr yeah I like the idea but would be unlikely to agree to a permission prompt for it
meduz'@zachleat @cbirdsong @wolfr The Telegram Android app do it, and it’s very useful when I open Telegram in the toilets during daylight.
(There’s no way I’d turn on the light in the toilets until I’m done.)

This is seems like a good case for not prompting unless the users asks for it.
make the "based on my surroundings" settings option and warn the user that it requires the permission, then only prompt them when they select the setting.
honestly, a lot of these permissions prompts should require user interaction to make them come up.
having to say "no" to a permissions prompt for notifications on page load is super annoying

sayrer@zachleat @cbirdsong @wolfr You can write your own to change the OS theme, and the browsers will react to that. https://github.com/oxidecomputer/design-site/commit/ab1c861a9a35e551af31b02f366a99e96bb0de9c
