        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.

            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.

                Good for you, but it’s kind of hard to copy photoshop or 3dsmax or just plain old PHPMyAdmin webpage into Nano 😁

        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?”
