I agree of my own free will that this is totally harmless.

“QUIT GIVING ME MORE CHOICES!!!”

I was all “Stop liking what I don’t like” before it was cool!

Dude. Dark mode is optional. Regardless of her stance on it, daylight savings is enforced, therefore there is some merit in discussing pros and cons. That’s a valid opinion piece topic.

Agreed.

I feel for you. My spouse has severe photo-phobia from a chronic migraine and seizure condition (occipital and trigeminal neuralgia). Things like dark mode greatly increase the amount of time they can spend in front of screens and help them be a more productive and connected human.

Andrew is probably too young to know that dark mode was the thing before it became a thing. Dark mode is easier on the eyes...at least mine. Also, this article is a waste of 1s and 0s.

Andrew this is a really bad opinion.

I’m not a doctor, that’s a pretty damning statement to start with but I’m going to go out on a limb here- when your have a bright, white screen that your website features in a dark room it illuminates the room more.

I an effort not to curse you with sensitive vision, I implore your to reach out to the visual impaired. Find someone like me who HAS to wear sunglasses in the sun, has multiple pairs of sunglasses for different amounts of sunlight, and wears sunglasses on cloudy days.

“My eyes feel better and my headaches are gone! I’m saving battery life! I’m not waking up my partner in the middle of the night with a glaring screen! All of these benefits from dark mode may be real for you, but I bet they’re not nearly as profound as you think—if they’re true at all.”

“The orgiastic frenzy over dark mode is, as far as I can tell, the result of the bandwagon effect” — Or: I, like many, have a history of using Dark Mode from long before it was called Dark Mode the moment it became available in any app.... The Treo 700wx with a custom firmware/OS loaded. Once we saw that app…

I won’t comment on the drivel posted by the author. Instead, I’ll say thank you to a commenter from a few days ago that mentioned the Dark Reader browser extension. Dark Giz is so much better.

This is just the dumbest shit, but you got me to click, so mission accomplished. 

To be fair it is discussed in one of the articles he links.  Where it specifically states that white screens are uncomfortable to look at unless you’re constantly adjusting the brightness of said screen.

Umm. Not blowing my eyeballs out when using my phone at night is by FAR the most valuable reason. And barely even mentioned here. It’s the most practical application by far, and absolutely legit. Must we shit on everything?

What’s with all these blue shirts? You think blue shirts are cool? blue shirts are BULLSHIT. Here’s a weird swerve at some actor to prove my point.

i can’t believe i bothered reading this.

Maybe they can find an IP that’s already been written for them from start to finish, since it’s clear they can’t write themselves out of a wet paper bag for anything without help.

 As someone in the UK and also has to deal with this region lock crap, I know your pain.
