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.

    That's me: I use a MBP, light mode (#ffffff) everything + Lunar for "overdriving" the XDR display brightness. Dunno why but I like it

    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.
