    I mean, that’s fair and i mostly agree, but i think it’ll stay around (for the better or worse) as regular vr headsets have, with them also being (somewhat less) expensive and not that useful beyond a handful of niches. Although to a lesser extent since it’ll be stuck inside apple’s ecosystem.

    Using Jerboa at the moment! Not sure about moderation tools, but it feels pretty responsive and the overall layout looks quite nice in the dark theme.

    Although it gets a tad confused when I’m logged in in occasion, so it sometimes thinks I’m not?

    Still, you can use it without logging in, so it’s a pretty good experience that just needs some polishing.










  • (Not to be that guy, the post just got me curious about it, so i looked up some more details) (Also, i rant a bit, so feel free to not read this)

    Although in the article i checked, the American Academy of Opthalmology (AAO) doesn’t specifically mention Dark Mode as something that reduces or increases eye strain, it does mention that lowering the brightness (or setting dark mode in your devices) does lower the amount of blue light that the screen displays, allowing you to sleep better, by not confusing your brain into thinking that it’s still daytime. (Feel free to correct me on this, other places i saw about this mostly cite anecdotes about how well it worked for them, regarding their sleep cycle.)

    It does later say that one of the ways to possibly reduce eye strain when using a screen for a long time is by lowering the glare and brightness, by dimming the screen or the like.

    So my take would be that maybe a full pitch black/AMOLED theme could start putting more strain into your eyes, the regular dark grey-ish should be right, but eyes differ from person to person so it’d boil down to: Find a middle ground that works for you and doesn’t make your eyes hurt? (Also take some time to let your eyes rest, lookup the 20-20-20 rule in the 2nd article)

    (Sorry about the wall of text, i might’ve gotten a bit too into this)
