Big fan of dark mode, but i didn’t think people get this zealous. Also a big fan of apps that respect my system settings and don’t hide the option somewhere, s

  I think that dark mode is the best mode. I simply observe the degree of eye strain I experience and this has always seemed obvious to me: * In a brightly lit environment, light mode is preferable, but dark mode is serviceable. * In a dimly lit environment, dark mode is preferable, whereas light mode can be downright painful. So I run light mode during the day and dark mode during the evening/night, but if I had to choose one it'd be dark mode, because it never actually hurts my eyes to look at it. As an aside, night time screen usage used to keep me awake. When I started reducing my screens to very low brightness levels (sometimes even lower than what the manufacturer provides settings for), that problem went away. Don't quote me but I may have run across some research at one point talking about how total lumen exposure has much more impact on your sleep than the red light/blue light thing. But if you don't get it and you want to hurt your eyes, hurt my eyes, and inflict insomnia on everybody, well you can be like this guy who writes snarky posts about his Discord pals I guess.
