Try it out yourself
I just noticed this:
Step 1: Look at screen in the dark. I was on my lowest brightness dark mode phone
Step 2: Turn away from the screen and close your eyes. Ensure contrast by cupping your eyes with your hands
Result: your eyes/vision will begin to flicker and flash like a motherfucker despite there being no light present
I am also reminded that LED lights flicker and flash a shitton and cause eye degradation and stress. So dark mode means SHIT when it comes to truly keeping your eyes safe, huh, since its all artificial light in the end..
What the fuck is this, really? Did I answer my own question already? Why the fuck isn't this a prevalently discussed issue
