Morning!

How is *everyone*?

I've gone back to light mode for my tech stuff... I was finding dark mode a bit opressive 😅

I finally bought a new phone case as rawdogging it without one (after the silicone fail) was causing me deep anxiety.

Also, now using notbor.ing Weather app using accuweather as a source as Apple Weather was consistently incorrect for my location. #Apple #iPhone #DarkMode #LightMode #Weather #App

This is what my corrected vision looks like. They’re both bad but the double images are easier to ignore when it’s dark-on-light. #LightMode #Accessibility #Disability

Dark Mode vs. Light Mode: Which Is Better?

Light Mode InFFFFFFlation

Back in the day, light mode wasn’t called “light mode”. It was just the way that computers were, we didn’t really think about turning everything light or dark. Sure, some applications were often dark (photo editors, IDEs, terminals) but everything else was light, and that was fine. What we didn’t notice is that light mode has been slowly getting lighter, and I’ve got a graph to prove it. I did what any normal person would do, I downloaded the same...
