Read Original

The author shares a personal experience of moving to the Netherlands, explaining how the changing seasons and ambient light levels dictate the need for dark or light mode. They contend that dark mode is a functional necessity in dim environments to reduce eye strain, while light mode is more usable in bright, sunlit rooms, framing the choice as one of usability rather than mere aesthetics.
