Yeah, being forced to use Dark mode would suck.
Idk how people don't go blind on light mode, it's too painful not to use dark mode for me.
I have plenty of natural light in my room
I don't understand. Did LEDs start growing out of the grass?
Some whacko architect designed my house and office with holes in the walls. It's irritating tbh
Ew, this guy uses Windows!
It's not like that I swear!
Obvious security vulnerability that's just professional incompetence
Fucking contractors, right... I had one OD on his lunch break out front when I was getting my house worked on.
Wtf, this pivot gave me whiplash
Real, he was the one dude actually showing up and doing the work too...
Was it recent? Is it hanging with you?
<(o_o)>
It was a few years ago. Was a shitty day though.
Do you change to a night mode setting? I'm ok if someone prefers light mode. But natural light, well, it doesn't happen at night. I hate the "eye comfort" filters since they just make everything look orange. Do you use that? Or just blind your eyes at night?
Dark mode at night. Switches automatically
So, you prefer light mode in an environment that has lots of natural light until it doesn't. Welp, makes perfect sense.
So being drunk affects how you use light/dark mode?
I don't get the joke

Holy hell. Even the term "natural light" as some product in the US.
Is it any good?
It is not.
Maybe your screen brightness is too high? I prefer 15% and 25+ feels like looking into the sun
Is your monitor back lit by burning magnesium!?
I used to prefer light mode until I first got into MUDs.
Not because of anything about the interface or mechanics, but because I got REALLY into them. Several consecutive nights reading digital text until 4AM makes you appreciate dark mode.
Light mode is for people with healthy computer habits
Let's have both! At the same time!
That's how it functions I feel. I hate dark mode because of it, I mean just dim your screen if "light mode" is too bright. Noo we must feel like hackerman in shell mode I guess.
Okay so i can dim my brightness and only have half as much eye pain or i can use dark mode and feel comfortable?? Fuck me i guess for prefer light text on what i need to read and darkspace for the empty stuff im not reading on the scree
You didn't understand what I was saying.
The problem with dark mode is that everything does not have a dark mode, and now because it's so popular, not a light mode. Some website will be in light mode, some softs will be in dark mode, textpad? Light mode.
So when you're working you go dark, light, dark, light, which is the worst of everything.
I just copy paste what i need into a dark mode text editor lol, but yeah idk better for me to see half my stuff without pain than to see it all with pain
Good for you, but it's kind of hard to copy photoshop or 3dsmax or just plain old PHPMyAdmin webpage into Nano 😁
Batman voice: How do you sleep at night!?
The main pain point is still discord itself tho
This misses your point, but I've always preferred light mode in bright environments and dark mode in dimmer environments, with literally the single exception of Discord, whose light mode is totally unusable despite a bunch of iterations.
"Light mode, you say? How about 1px wide fonts, a background so close to #fff as makes no difference, and contrasting elements with basically no contrast at all? IS THIS LIGHT ENOUGH FOR YOU?"
Hes switching him to light mode
It's a pain if it is sunny outside
