Small study suggests dark mode doesn’t save much power for very human reasons

Yes yes ok... I know.

On the phone. Where power saving is important. Where oleds are commonplace now. Where individual pixels turn off when fully black. I think a pixel that is off will use less power than one that is on, no?

But beyond all that, isnt it just a preference? Some people like white mode, others like dark. We dont all have the same eyes and brains.

I personally dont like light mode one bit and go the extra mile to get dark mode on my devices, but i dont care if someone else uses light mode. Cut it out, let people do what they like.

I have Dark mode at lowest brightness on my phone at night. Soon as I go to anything that loads a stupid white background it feels like flash bang.

I've never understood the histrionics over 'dark mode'
