if white websites burn your eyes out but they didn't a few years ago, it might just be that you haven't noticed that screens have gotten way brighter the last several years and out of habit you turned your screen brightness up enough to overpower the sun

if you turn it down, it might look way too dim in the moment, but give your eyes a few minutes to adjust and it'll probably look perceptually the same again. People look at my screenshots and say "how can you stand light mode?!" but my laptop brightness is at like 40% and my iPad is often as low as 10%. Bonus: battery magically doubles in capacity
