Whenever I accidentally visit a light mode site I get an immediate small but annoying stabbing pain that feels like it comes from behind my eyeballs. This is empirical evidence that light mode is harmful to me at least for that small moment when switching. Apparently the author thinks that growing up will fix this... but I'm unconvinced that's going to happen.

I use darkreader a lot, but for some sites it's not so good. If a site has a decent dark mode, or takes a lot of config to get working, I'll disable darkreader for the site.

Anyway, low effort opinion article.

Coming up to 44 and not there yet. At what age do you reckon it kicks in?

Every time I visit HN it feels like I'm getting flashbanged
