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 remember reading a while ago that there are people who stand up before wiping, and people who wipe before they stand up, and neither camp can fathom how the other does it. This is giving me that same energy.

    I like day mode in sunlight and dark mode in low light or if I’m reading in bed with the lights off. Definitely depends on the type of screen you have. The Samsung Tab S8 isn’t even OLED but it’s bright even with the settings turned right down so reading black on a blinding white screen is uncomfortable in the dark

    Wholeheartedly agree.

    We’ve been reading dark text on white paper for centuries, and now- people are saying that anyone that enjoys “day mode” is crazy.

    So much so, that I once posted a screenshot of an issue I was having on my screen- and everyone jumped my ass because I was not using night mode.

    My question was never answered.

    EDIT: check the replies to this comment and you’ll see exactly what I mean. SO much butthurt!
