Maybe your screen brightness is too high? I prefer 15% and 25+ feels like looking into the sun

I can only think of Harley Quinn's Bane when I see him referenced now.

Also, just the other day I finally made the connection that Tom Hardy played both Bane and Eddie Brock. He really has a thing for Venom!

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?

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?"

I’m pretty excited for the Clayface movie but I fear this show has done permanent damage to how I imagine the character now.

So, you prefer light mode in an environment that has lots of natural light until it doesn't. Welp, makes perfect sense.

Every show i seen has such a different take on him. Caped crusader has him as a failed actor and creature commando had him a gamer with scary take on his abilities.

Yeah i prefer lower brightness on light mode of course, but dark mode is just straight up comfortable for me to use all day.

Is the next theme not red mode? (Also known as blue light filters)

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.

I don't know how much of an innocent or a troll you are, but light mode is absolutely not needed for any kind of disability, whereas dark mode actually benefits some disabled people.

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