It'll change the way your eyes interpret technology. Tech's biggest tool in their work to wrangle the masses is appeal, and color sits at the center of appeal.
By enabling any form of greyscale, especially on your phones, you take this ability away from them.

You will only be attracted to information rather than be distracted by an over saturated or engineered image made of colors.

You declaw them by doing this. Eventually you realize that the Internet is fucking stupid, and since reality looks more appealing than your grey, rightfully lifeless brick, you'll probably even go outside more.

What do you think of this glorious solution to technology's massive role in our lives?

Switched my phone to this and installed Niagara launcher. Thanks for the tip!!!

That is actually an interesting idea! I had heard of similar proposals and actual experiments like e-reader tablet screens on the phone or laptops.
Essecially saving much more battery and declutter our minds from the color copofony.
Unfortunately as color helps and guides us ergonomically it is rather difficult to erase it from our daily use of technology.

On the contrary, I've been using greyscale on my handsets for about two years. The only thing I ever have problems with would be pictures that require color differentiation and poorly designed site elements (for example, this site's [PINNED] label is a deep blue on top of a dark purple - it becomes extremely hard to read in greyscale).

These are very minor problems and only come up rarely. I implore everyone here to try it out. It truly makes the real world more appealing in comparison to these black bricks.

i turned it on for 30 minutes, then turned it back off and now my phone feels like a fucking gambling machine whenever it's off. is this shit magic?

>feels like a fucking gambling machine

to be fair you're essentially gambling with your brain you are constantly scrolling on tiktok or any of the other websites that turned themselves into tiktok bootlegs now
good shit

I've used greyscale for 3 years and I've never looked back. My phone is no longer a MEGALOTS machine made to use me. I use it

I can smell the communism, maybe try shilling anarchy next

>I can smell the communism
are you implying that not instantly gawking towards your screen whenever a bright color flashes up is communist

>are you implying that not instantly gawking towards your screen whenever a bright color flashes up is communist
I'm implying that writing it up in such a retarded way is communist.

YO!!! I found this app that let's you choose specific apps to be in greyscale.

app

> grayscale only
I suggest this site go grayscale. Why is there a bold bright green name in the middle of this thread? Dark purple for mods is a good idea. Makes modposts stand out. Everything else should be grayscale, including the 'green' text.

Additional Note: it would be nice to be able to reply to specific posts, and to see which replies go with which posts, like 4chan. Right now this is more like a minimalistic BB forum than a chan. Tracking (Yous) is part of the experience, especially as the population grows.

Since I'm making meta suggestions: How about making the navigation panel horizontal, so the posts can be screen wide?

This isn't a chan though

On android go to settings, enable developer settings, then search for the option "colour space" or "color space" (US vs UK english) and then make it simulate monochromacy. Been doing this for some years.
On my display I reduce color saturation but on laptop I dunno how.
If you know how to make it monochromatic using Xorg/X I am all ears. I couldn't find something that worked online. Although, now that I think about it I only tried this on 25 year old hardware, perhaps the options don't cooperate well with that.
