My job is computer programming. Eye condition is normal (except slight near-sightedness). I adjust the brightness, in day it's about 60-70%, in evening 15-30%
Software should be soft and flexible, isn't it? Don't mind 'GitHub', it could be 'Firefox', doesn't matter from where to get a motivation to have a dark theme: https://linuxhint.com/enable_firefox_dark_mode_ubuntu/ --- Black color doesn’t emit any light, and therefore it has little to no energy. Having low energy in the light makes it easy for people to work on the computer in the long run --- Personally I tested dark mode for about a month already and found it decrease my eye fatigue (I work with code in QtCreator and Geany, google for programming questions, work in console (it was previously black already). Git GUI takes about 10-15 minutes a day, but still, why don't make it support dark theme? I like the feature 'stage lines for commit' in `git gui` which I didn't find in another git GUIS.
