Dark mode is a weird phenomenon, I think. It kind of came out of nowhere and suddenly everything in existence started adding a dark mode and prominently listing it as a top features. That is not a complaint or anything like that, just an observation that dark mode seems to have spread in an unusual way compared to other technologies. But might of course also be just my perception.

- danbruc 3y agoI actually remember from my software ergonomics course at university that black on white is better than white on black. I guess it stuck because it surprised my, I always considered the MS-DOS console easier to read. I do not remember any details, but I guess it must have been about working in a well lit office or something like that. Dark mode is probably only advantageous because we nowadays use screens in a lot of situations with all but ideal lighting.
