IBM sure does suck donkey balls but I really don't think that particular thing is their fault.

That is true and I have also muted a ton of my less-than-friend-level contacts in regards to stories. But that nag screen to subscribe to channels seems so terribly gauche.

Can this "feature" be removed or deactivated somehow? I guess not because that would be too convenient.

Ah neat, good to hear. I don't think we're in a rush and I rather they do things properly and sustainably rather than "as ASAP as possible" really.

But wouldn't hurt to see an update every now and then in kbinMeta, the way they used to show up.

I had been wondering as well. I have been using the app with an alt account since 0.1.7 but never joined the Discord so no news.
Then again it seems like the /kbin API is still in testing as I never saw an update on that front either.

Could also just be a summer slouch as everone is on vacation perhaps? Certainly hope interest in /kbin and Artemis hasn't faded.

Yeah that's really cool for all those Linux phones out there. Oh wait, there are like two and a half models in total and none of them are great? Damn.

Yeah, there are extensions that enable injecting custom CSS. I'm using Stylus in Chrome (switched to that from Stylish about two years ago) and essentially you need to override the native CSS with lots of !important style declarations. Basically like Inspect Element but will load every time once the relevant website(s) is done loading.

If the HTML classes and ids are straightforwards that's fairly easy, like old.reddit for instance. But every time they change the classes you need to go in a manually tweak it. And once a site starts obfuscating their code it's not worth the effort anymore.
But it's possible and for a while I honed my meager CSS skills by doing my own bespoke stylesheets. :)

Yeah, you're right. They try but it's not the same.

Before Dark Reader I used to make custom dark theme CSS for all the sites that I frequented heavily and spent so much time tweaking things so it came out "mostly right".

Dark Reader isn't perfect all the time but the peace of mind it grants me is immeasurable:)

@VulcanSphere

Count this as my vote as well. Take every other extension away (uBlock Origin excluded obv) but I simply can't endure the eye-searing pain of the internet without Dark Reader.
