I get headaches if I read white text on a dark background for too long, and my understanding is that about half of the population of the planet has astigmatism to some degree or other

i like the way dark mode looks but if i use it too long it gets physically painful in the form of headaches, i generally don't use apps that only have dark modes as a result, unless i can make a custom theme for it, then i will more often than not make a light theme for it. or i'll make a theme that automatically updates the colors based on what i choose in my system settings, which is something i've done for Lemmy and a few other things, but yeah

edit: sorry, when i originally saved that medium article a couple of years ago there was no paywall, now there is, so here's the same article archived https://archive.is/20220807164035/https://medium.com/@h_locke/why-dark-mode-causes-more-accessibility-issues-than-it-solves-d2f8359bb46a
