I’ve hit an age where I’ve gone from Dark Mode Is Life to switching between them depending on lighting levels and display quality. There are times when dark mode is almost painful.
I don’t really care what’s default, but 10 years of prison to anyone who doesn’t offer both! And an easy way to switch between the two that doesn’t require digging through menus.
Most laptops and computer monitors are LCD (by an extremely large margin)
Dark mode draws MORE power that way because people turn their screen brightnesses up to see anything. Meanwhile I can use light mode on my computer during the day with screen brightness on 5% and see just fine. Less eye strain too with a soft cream background or even beige and black text.
Plus then my eyes don’t get burned up when browsing to an app or website that doesn’t have built in dark mode support.
Nah not really, it won’t make it wkrse or anything, it’s just that some astigmatic people have more problems with dark mode or it’s straight up unuseable
Dark mode should be the default on phones, websites, programs, apps, and all electronics.
My AMOLED screen draws less power this way.

same here. I still prefer dark mode, provided it is designed with it in mind from the get go.
Yeah. And it probably depends on how much time you spend outside
As little as possible thank you very much. Outside has people!
shudder
The dark reader Firefox extension is for you. It makes every website darkmode.

Not inconsequential. Dark mode is unpleasant to read for people with astigmatism. That’s 1/3rd of the US.
I have that in both eyes and I still prefer dark mode.
Same
That’s depends on levels of astigmatism tbf, dark mode is pretty an accessibility issue
. . . Shit. Do I need to change away from dark mode? I highly prefer it but I do have mild astigmatism…
Do what you prefer, my friend. I also am cursed with astigmatism but much prefer dark mode.

…and no proper glasses?
Astigmatic people can still have some issues with glasses, especially ones with more acute astigmatism
Eg:
It isn’t this strong for everyone, ofc
Night time without corrective lenses is so pretty. Every light is a wide star, cars ahead are two red stars overlapping
What? I have astigmatism and never ever had this problem.
Got both eye astigmatism and glasses for 20 years, dark mode forever.
My lemmy is AMOLED black with blue text, no difficulty at all
Contrast is what matters.
