A photo looking up at a residential building at least 6 stories tall. It is night time, and the vast majority of windows are dark. The windows of one residence are slightly lit. Then, the window of another residence has a light that is extremely bright blaring out of it. The caption reads, "When I open a web page that forces a white background."

    Yeah, I’ve been using dark mode for everything for at least 2 years. I also use night shift to adjust the screen to a warmer color temp. I’ve dealt with chronic migraines for years, and light was a big trigger.

      Light is a big trigger for me as well, so dark mode for everything. The lights in my office are super bright… best I can do is dim my screens, so I have backlighting set to zero.

      Well someone changed the brightness/backlight on all my screens to 100% to screw with me, and I thought it was just, you know, me being overly sensitive? It happens sometimes. I didn’t assume someone would change my screens, why would I? It’s a pain in the ass to do…

      I had like 3 weeks of intense daily headaches and more migraines than normal, before I realized what happened and changed it back. Apparently my health/wellbeing is a joke. So glad I’m getting out of here.
