Comment on Dark Mode Sucksparent

Comments

My devices have "night light" which changes the color temperature according to sunlight, rather than inverting colors.

I believe Dark Mode is beneficial in certain situations. For a privacy enhancement or to reduce distractions. To evoke a retro or gaming aesthetic.

A long time ago, I fell in love with "paper white" type color schemes, as they were known, and it just felt like a more pleasant experience than the CRT amber/green terminals. Now I'm more adaptable; I don't mind when Battery Saver mode kicks in.

"night light" just makes everything yellow and looks like trash. dark mode is the superior alternative.
