Why is the the dark mode fad everywhere?

dark mode is for retards.

yes

So CIA can be more easily spotted

AMOLED benefits from it.
Old systems where permanent dark mode, as only monochrome monitors existed.

>word documents
Actually, they're just documents. Word is the name of one of Microsoft's propietary malware programs, part of their Microsoft Office propietary malware application suite. You can edit .docx files on other programs, like LibreOffice Writer.
I bet you call slide shows "Powerpoint presentations", too.
>do you type word (sic) documents in dark mode too?
Yes.
>do you read pdfs in dark mode?
No, I use an e-ink ebook reader for that.
>nice no job neet
Rude.

Because this is the future

The pupils need to dilate with white. Dark requires less effort.

THE FUCK IT IS NIGGER IT CAUSES EYE PROBLEMS

That's not what causes eye strain

But it is what causes burnt out retinas. Recent studies have shown that blue light fucks up your eyes sooner than ever. Having darker colors causes for less blue light, but using blue light filters is even better.

It saves battery life since I have an AMOLED screen and those pixels are turned off.

on macOS you can literally switch between light and dark modes, by a single button.
and yes, light mode is better always

Can we just admit it has nothing to do with eye-strain and is purely aesthetics?
Black on pure white looks cheap, shades of grey looks more refined.
That's really all there is to it, nerds have been installing dark modes for decades, long before OLED became a consideration.

same reason it's more dangerous to glimpse at the sun during the eclipse than during the day.

Retarded analogy. Contrast isn't that big and there's more reasons to not do that other than "sun light, hidden dark"

movie theaters would be banned.

fad?

What the fuck is up with the blinding mode fad?

real users know real uis are green on black

It goes well with my dark and cynical outlook on life

DARK LIKE MY SOUL

Because people like it, you raging homosexual.

It's because kids don't know how to properly calibrate monitors, heck do they even come with the standard brightness/contrast/gamma anymore? They think the settings from the store are the best but they are too intense so revert to dark mode.

It's actually not. Use a lamp rather than staring at your screen in the dark, it's easier on your eyes with a light theme than a dark theme with no light.

nice avatar usage! how about posting an image relevant to your discussion topic instead of starting it with your avatar?

no, it's best on your eyes when the brightness of your screen matches the brightness of the room
if you're in a relatively dark room, you want a relatively dark display
if you're in a bright room, you want a bright display
high 0-100 contrast is also bad for your eyes, you should want something more toward 20-80, though it doesn't matter which element is the light and which is the dark

additionally, proper calibration to reduce eye strain dictates that "pure white" on your display should be equal in color temperature and brightness levels as a piece of white paper next to the display

>no, it's best on your eyes when the brightness of your screen matches the brightness of the room
He already said that. Adjust the light in your room to match the screen, with a lamp.

A light grey background works wonders (if that is still too bright lower your monitor settings).

>fad
dark mode existed in the 80s

That doesn't change the fact that the LCD is constantly shinning light towards your eyes

Do you even need to cite history as a source when a dark theme is pure logic anyway

Pretty retarded if you ask me
Most are gray and not black, and they don't support auto switching using your location
That's some half assed shit right there
The only app I've seen that does it properly is Google photos and contacts on battery save mode

good post

>I like being blinded at night whenever I do something as simple as checking for texts
who the fuck gets triggered by a group of people changing the color of pixels to make them darker?
you can just not use dark mode even if you don't like it.

of course

>Most are gray and not black
gray still saves battery.

No need to argue about this like there is an absolute truth about it, because there is not, it's all relative to the user's comfort.
I have keratoconus, so very high contrast like white on black is a nightmare for me, and at the same time i can't stand lights that are too bright. So there is no "best" mode for me, but I usually go with dark.

I try switching to dark mode on Jow Forums app but it looks bad. plus when I type the keyboard is not dark reeeee

Fuck you user, you just brought back a part of my teenage years that I had successfully repressed for all these years

Has nothing to do with AMOLED, it saves power regardless what type of screen you have.

There's no general reason why it would save power with lcd screens.

nice placebo loool

>dark mode is for retards.
Really? Then why is the Bloomberg terminal black? Why are most trading software black? Why are airport scheduling boards black?

Panels that are normally black use slightly less power if they display dark colors.
95% of the power is still used by the backlight so it barely makes any difference, but he's technically not wrong.

Yeah, but I want black, mate

niggers are harder to see in the dark

kek

not if they glow

Out of the all memes today this one is actually good

I'm just afraid the white background is going to shoot up my office so I use dark

The pupils constrict with brightness.

But the black one will steal your bike.

are you ok senpai

Holy shit, my sides.
Imagine being so assblasted about people having the option to make pixels dark instead of white

It's not like dark mode is some new invention. For a long time, most computers were light on dark. I'm pretty sure the only reason black on white became popular was so that documents would look like they were written on paper.

It "feels" easier on the eyes. But it's actually worse for your eyes. Look it up brajene

Eye strain isn't damage. Dark mode could maybe have some minor temporary effects on your eyes, doesn't mean your eyes are literally being permanently fucking damaged by using dark mode.

Unironically this.

I mix and match dark mode.
terminal - dark
IDE - dark
web browser - light
dash (documentation tool) - light
company chat client - light

you got showed bro

There is a different between a light source and light being reflected off of a surface.

Dilate your pupils.

They weren't really "dark mode" as much as "off mode" since the black parts of the screen were doing nothing.

>how come people like things that I don't like reeeeee

Actual unironic autistic screeching.
