I'm 42. I still hate staring at a lightbulb, and have dark mode on all the time. And my vision ain't what it used to be. Pure white on a pure black background

I'm 42. I still hate staring at a lightbulb, and have dark mode on all the time. And my vision ain't what it used to be.
Pure white on a pure black background is horrible, but off-whites on a darker background looks nice and doesn't strain my eyes like a canvas of white does.
- cbzbc 5y agoYes, I don’t use pure white, but the lighter solarized themese seem to work reasonably well.
- function_seven 5y agoSorry, didn't mean to strawman your setup :) Yeah, when I do use light themes, I mute them similarly. And I have the brightness on my screens turned down a bit, and the blue channel trimmed down a smidge. All the lights in my house are at 2200K, so I definitely have a preference towards warmer light. My theory is that it's like cilantro (some people think it tastes like soap) or like pineapple on pizza (which is objectively wrong, about this there can be no debate). I just can't stand bright light. I'm sure a sizeable chunk of dark theme users do just like to pretend they're administering The Matrix or something. But not all of us :)
