Dark mode hurts my eyes and reliably gives me a headache. I can’t understand why anyone prefers to read white text on a dark field.

    I never said it was better. I said I got ridiculed and told I was wrong for choosing it. As I have been here.

    My point is that there’s factual science that suggests it’s not really better for you in any way (which was frequently offered as a reason to support using it), as well as the fact that human beings have been reading black text on light backgrounds for centuries. It has nothing to do with light emitting nonsense. It has to do with adaptation.

    It’s what we are used to. Period.

    I honestly don’t care one way or another- but this discussion absolutely proves my original point. People need to lighten up.

      Screens showing white pixels do in fact not emit more light than when they emit dark areas. You heard it here first, folks

        Okay, now you’re purposefully missing the point. I’m sorry Reddit is having a slow day, but I’m done being roped into your argument.

        Blocking this dumb shit now. Have a nice day for yourself.
