Eye strain is much worse, long term, with dark mode. (If you know anything about depth of field in optics, and what your pupil does, it is no shock.) Fix your room lighting if light mode bothers your eyes. Long topic:

> Generally not, but they post screenshots IN the forum, which look bad if the screen that was shotted was dark. So, people arrange for their own computer to be in light mode before capturing something they will post here. Which is really good for everyone who isn't young, with great eyesight. Just say no to dark mode. Always and everywhere for everyone. And if you work in dark rooms, fix the room.

Some young developers have worked out some hacks recently, so they can destroy their eyes faster. I'm not going to help you find it.

Dark mode is the hipster thing, but you will regret it.
