(*) "skin" is a forgotten verb from the 90s. I want to believe the etymology has something to do with Silence of the Lambs.

ha I noticed this because I'd broken my firefox nightly into a state where it was skinning everything but didn't think it was and that was very broken 😅.
One suggestion, if this setting is specifically about forced-colors "Contrast" might be confusing as it doesn't let me request more contrast (prefers-contrast media query)?
Great to see Firefox experimenting here!
@Lukew
BTW, Windows now calls the feature just "Contrast Themes." Users can make make their theme colors whatever they want and if the contrast between their Canvas and CanvasText colors are low enough, both `forced-colors: active` and `prefers-contrast: less` will be true.
It would be nice if custom colors in Firefox could do the same.

in reply to Jordan (has moved) • • •sorry, but no. gnupgp UX sucks so hard that even I don't get it without extensive internet searching.
And I heard horrible stuff about integration into programs, like that they need to kill the #gpg daemon regularly to make it work.
Let's rather invest our efforts into making modern alternatives like #rpgp and #rsop
crates.io/crates/rsop/ great.

in reply to treefit • • •Heiko
in reply to Heiko • • •@treefit ... I have, however, enjoyed the "Stateless OpenPGP (SOP)" CLI standard - and even implemented a subset of it (see crates.io/crates/rsop), based on the excellent @rpgp OpenPGP library
There are many SOP implementations, all with the same CLI. Anyone who would like to play with encryption and digital signatures might enjoy a look at SOP.
A few SOPs even implement the new OpenPGP RFC 9580, which introduces modern encryption using AEAD mechanisms, and surely more will follow.
