There’s a comp sci student I try to help but his entire ide is in light mode. He uses a macbook with full brightness on and it physically hurts my eyes. I use a Thinkpad with half brightness, night mode on, and dark mode everything.
Maybe his eyes are bad. I have astigmatism and especially the combination light text on dark background at low brightness is hard to read for me, because the letters “bleed out” (think like streetlights through a foggy window).
Interesting, I have minor astigmatism and have the opposite problem, a light background blurs the text for me while a dark background and white text is nice and crisp for me.
They can and do. That’s what the optometrist is checking when they flip the little lenses around and rotate them and it’s obvious it wasn’t to change the focus. It doesn’t get more/less clear unless you have astigmatism when they’re flipping those ones (at least in the same way).
This is why I don’t care for monitor and tv reviews. The reviewers are like “you guys this shit has 2000 nits peak brightness!” and I’m just over here thinking that I wouldn’t use even a 5th of that peak.

Maybe astigmatism can have different orientations, it’s a wrongly shaped lense, after all. And there are many false shapes for that.

I’ve liked light mode on a few things in the past, but dark mode feels so much easier on the eyes.
Yes but people say this to me about my phone
Could this be me…?
That’s me: I use a MBP, light mode (#ffffff) everything + Lunar for “overdriving” the XDR display brightness. Dunno why but I like it
