This is very strangely phrased. The "sustainable experience" to me suggests my personal experience like eye fatigue even tho "sustainable" is not the most fitting word for that. But the "contribute" suggests ecological subjects. Whatever it may be it is ur average corporate paternalism nonetheless.

Edit: Maybe im off here it may solely be greenwashing, the eye comfort take doesnt really make sense.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

They try to greenwash, just just end up applying more clearcoat.

Nestlé's ethics already went to dark mode.

For oleds, it makes a difference and not an insignificant number of smartphones today use OLED screens.

However, if the microwatt-hour of battery saved by browsing a shitty website of a shitty company for a few minutes saves the planet is another story...

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Whatever gets saved will be burned up by their megabytes of JS running in the background collecting every single point of data they possibly can

Contrary to popular belief, it doesn't make that much difference on OLEDs. The thing about OLED is that different diodes consume different amounts of energy. Blue diode requires the most energy, green diode requires about the same amount of energy as the red one, but there are more green diodes in pentile screen.

Thus the only energy saving option is a dark red background. And no one is using it. It will also look like shit in most cases.

Here's a paper which shows that dark grey background basically consumes twice as much energy as dark red one https://library.imaging.org/admin/apis/public/api/ist/website/downloadArticle/cic/26/1/art00005

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Yeah but if the OLED screen has to display black (RGB 000), it turns off the diodes completely. But as you said, most dark modes have a dark grey background which doesn't do shit (jerboa has a black option btw)

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

The thing that'll save more microwatts is if they removed about 3 dozen of the tracking scripts from the website but we all know no company website will ever do that

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (4 children)

What does this save, like a milliwatt per year? One of the stupidest things I have ever seen.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Sending the JavaScript to do this literally uses more electricity than this saves.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is classic. Corpos that are the biggest polluters are also the ones that push hardest on the idea of "carbon footprint"

The more they can convince people that climate change is their fault, the less likely people vote for a government that will regulate the corpos

Plus all the energy used in developing the feature in the first place. What a crock.

If dark mode is so good, why isn’t it the default?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Contribute even more by closing the browser and not buying anything from this shithole of a company.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I wish it was that easy, but nestle has taken almost 80% of global middleman positions in the food market, they have become a pseudo monopoly in the food industry.

Everywhere you look end stage capitalism is enshittifying itself. The neolibs, having insisted that There Is No Alternative, are confronted with their system in full and manifest self destruction.

Is nobody gonna comment on the photo of the child, when Nestlé is known to use child labor?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's a white child, don't you see? /s

I think companies should get some credit for putting their workers on the front page.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It should honestly just default to whatever the system is set to, because that's likely what the user prefers.

Came here to say that. So clearly doesn't change anything (unless you are on a cellphone or have an expensive OLED computer screen)

Fuck nestle

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

Not all phones; just ones with OLED screens.

CRTs will also save power as they have to shoot fewer phosphors, but that's not really relevant today.

Greenwashing bullshit.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Respect system settings first, only if no preference is set go to dark by default.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You can be sure that they are counting every hypothetical drop of energy saved this way and taking credit for it to their benefit somewhere.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

They just don't want their water brusied by the hydroelectric plant.

Fuck Nestle

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

As long as i have lighting around the monitor i dont need to.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

what even is a "more sustainable experience"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

dark theme › slower battery usage › charging less often › less electricity usage › less coal power plants › less emissions › solved global warming. It's simple really. Now you just need to turn off the tap while you brush your teeth.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Now you just need to turn off the tap while you brush your teeth.

Do... Do people leave the tap on? Why?? That doesn't make sense.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Exactly, I think it was a strawman made up by corporations so that they would look good trying to discipline people (put them on a moral pedestal)

Nestlé lives in dark mode.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The vampires of the Nestlé board don't like being blinded by bright screens as they roam the night in search for the blood of the innocent.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Please don't compare nestle to vampires. Vampires still have a heart even if it's not beating.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Username checks out. Didn't mean to offend your people. At least you suck blood for nourishment and not just for fun.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

That the user can feel good about himself for "saving the planet"
