    I noticed the pitch of his voice changed. Also the background is no longer yellow - am I weird bc I miss it? (Or simply for all the other reasons unrelated to that one.)

      Huh yeah, the background changed since I posted this video. Probably a good thing, that was the number one complaint I saw from people commenting on posts. I didn’t mind it, but apparently a lot of people checking out Loops in dark rooms so it was blinding.

        I am going the other way with that: first on a mobile it was barely noticable bc the tall video left not much room around the edges, so it was just a hint of accessory color, and it gave the site some flair. It was also not bright nor dark but a really nice shade in between. I’m sure on a desktop with lots more room around the edges it would have been more overwhelming though.

        But now the basic and BRIGHT 🌞😎 white makes me not able to view these videos in a dark room any longer:-(. I turned on a Firefox Extension to switch it to black, but now that messes up every single other page on PieFed.

        Mobile design and especially UX really truly is just different from that of desktop. I wish they’d switch it back, even if only for mobile view and only use the white on desktop machines. Or at least choose a much less blinding whiteness:-(.

          It works better for me now because Dark Reader handles white backgrounds easily. It couldn’t figure out the yellow, just made it a slightly darker yellow. Hopefully the code will be open sourced soon and people can throw in some CSS that makes it automatically match your system theme

            The only website that I know of that breaks using Dark Reader is PieFed - which gave me the idea to try setting that to light mode (so the extension will flip it), except that’s now going to mess up my desktop access, and the result is plain white and black without a colored dark theme. So it kinda works but it affects my whole workflow.:-(
