Small study suggests dark mode doesn’t save much power for very human reasons
LCD screens, dominant in laptops and tablets, tend to get turned way up.

Was it ever about power?
At first, yes. But as i grew older, dark mode is needed because it helps with the eyes.
Except it doesn't.

everything possible on my phone is dark mode. i am prone to migraines tho.
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'
