I never regret it
(startrek.website)
Every single device and app that has a dark mode is on it. It's the only option.
If you're on android, unlock the Dev options and there's a toggle for forcing darkmode on every app, the odd couple won't work properly, but most apps I use seem to work well.
Just found out I can dark mode google maps for use in android auto. So happy. My stupid car has a huge touchscreen and I like have google maps for nav but I hated the giant white screen blasting in my face every single time I drive even at night. Now it's night mode always all the time. Fuck yeah.
I will be changing this immediately.
Mine used to have that option but disappeared from my menu recently which sucks. My phone is always dark mode including maps. Wish I knew why my car won't do dark mode unless it's actually dark out because I hate it.
There is a setting to force dark mode.
I can't find it for the life of me.
i open apps on my phone (galaxy s21?) then click my google profile thing in the top right. In there is a settings option with a gear icon near the bottom. click that, in there is a setting called "theme" and you just set that to "always dark".

The real crime is that bus driving down the middle of a double yellow line.
My husband is a light mode user on everything and it always makes me recoil. I’ve literally never encountered a situation where I preferred light mode over a functioning dark mode.
Visibility in sunlight for me

Force Dark Mode: On
I use discord light mode because people see it and are like "oh my god you use light mode" it's great, try to argue with me, you just fuel my entertainment. Also I don't look at the blazing screen in a dark room.
I switched my whole desktop to light mode, including VS Code, as to try to better associate day and work, and be a little easier to read in a light room. Also I find the night light yellowing a bit nicer with white and a dim screen. People whine about their preference as if they'll be using your phone/whatever, its very interesting
I slowly cut off fingers in front of people and they are always like "omg you cut off your fingers??" So entertaining to watch them.
Good for you, hope you've got enough spares. How do you manage the pain?

Love it. I wish my older android devices could use dark mode too especially the google apps.
I've been using dark mode since dark mode was a thing. Even on LCD screens (although I try to avoid buying devices with LCD when possible/affordable)
Light mode is annoying to me now. I can't use it .
Use dark mode directly in the sun and tell me how well you can read the text
Sometimes it's actually better with dark background on direct sun.
If we are talking about devices screen, white background kinda goes yellow on direct sun and contrast reduces. But black background goes dark grey and less light gets reelected back to the eyes.
If we are talking old school paper ( SHOCKING i know ). It's close to unreadable on direct sun when paper is white because it shines back too bright, it hurts eyes but black paper it much more comfy on eyes.
Note: Reason why black on white was used historicaly is most likely economical. (Less paint, easy to maintain.) If papyrus naturally turned black, all written text might have been in "dark mode" from the beginning.
Turn up your screen brightness?
I can read it just fine. Is something wrong with your eyes?
The difference between black on white and white on black is negligible, especially with modern displays
The trick when directly in the sun is to push the button that turns the screen is off and then place the phone in a pocket and make sure your fingers do not touch the phone.
Ilove dark mode on my phone, but I hate it on my laptop. It makes me feel sad..? For some reason? I'm probably just used to computer screens being bright lmao
That's also a very fair take. Dark mode on work computers might put me to sleep...
Yep, gotta love them folks who use "white mode", full brightness and then turn on all lights in the room because they think it will help them see what is on screen.
Hurts eyes of everyone who gets in the way.
Dark mode all the way. When indoors I keep my brightness very low, like at 15-20%. How some people can use white mode and 75-100% brightness is beyond me.
I tried dark mode. Spent hours fiddling with all the different applications to get them to comploy. Of course, to make the text show up properly you have to turn up the brightness.
And there are just too many times Windows decides "Full bright white screen is just what's needed here!" (Yes I did set the system to dark mode. When Windows fills the screen with white, it should really look at that setting first and fill it with something a bit darker instead, not necessarily black but for my retinas' sake please not FFFFFF.)
Conclusion: light mode with the brightness turned down. At least my screens don't stab me in the eyes multiple times a day.

It's not a matter of just light vs dark mode, it's about the proper brightness and contrast for the ambient light you're in, i.e. having a dark theme on a 100% brightness screen in the middle of the night is not something particularly clever (and the other way around - if a light theme feels too bright, it's your display that's too bright, not necessarily the theme). If you haven't done it, research easy ways to change the hardware brightness of your screens on the go - your eyes will thank you. ClickMonitorDDC is my favourite on Windows (it works well even if it's abandonware at this point).
I personally prefer dark mode most of the time, and not like white text on black background but rather something muted with a 50-ish % gray background. I occasionally switch to light mode for when I want more contrast and I can't bring the brightness any higher (e.g. if I bring my laptop outside on a sunny day).
I try to make every app dark, fuck the ones that fall apart when I force it.
Dark mode is indeed the best however when people don't know configure their site for dark mode.
"Oh yeah, using dark mode. Here's some dark, blue text on a dark background."
Dark Reader most of the time manages these sites automaticaly.
