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 have to drop out of this discussion because apparently, according to some people here- simply talking about it makes me butthurt.

    You see, I’m not allowed to disagree with it. So I’m going to just not use dark mode in silence.

    And here I was hoping this place would be different from Reddit.

      Nah, you can absolutely just… prefer light mode. Besides this being the “unpopular opinion” magazine (which is to say, we’re all here to be called out on our unpopular hills to die on, it’s part of the fun), the colors you use for your websites are up to you. The only objective thing that matters here is that having a toggle available is better than not having a toggle and being locked to one or the other.

      Buuuut, it’s also true that the articles you’re referencing are pretty bad and don’t quite say what you seem to say they say. Those two things aren’t mutually exclusive. I’m not annoyed at you for that. I’m mostly annoyed at the way media misreports scientific studies, honestly.
