Maybe a year or two ago, I posted some screenshot and I think it was Donuts responded to me in passing that night mode is superior. I dismissed it at the time because I was foolish and arrogant. A while later, I tried dark mode briefly to see what all the fuss was about and I found it difficult. I quickly switched back to light mode and concluded that all the dark mode people simply wanted something to help them feel speshul and superior. More recently, however, I tried dark mode again and this time I stuck with it long enough to acclimatise. After a while, I found it to be fine, but not significantly better or worse than light mode. I revised my conclusion to say that dark mode people simply have different preferences.
Then, though ... I had to switch back to light mode for a couple of days recently and ... my god .... my eyes ... they burn. It was like staring into the sun. How have I been browsing the internet for so many years like this? How have I not been blinded by millions of web pages with searing white backgrounds? This is an open apology to all night mode people who I have ignored and insulted. Dark mode is superior.

Most phones have a blue filter app. It really eases your eyes. Somehow blue light damages our eyes. I'd like to link but I'm on the bus. The cops shot 2 unarmed protestors today. So I got that to deal with.

I live in Hong Kong, I'm Caucasian don't speak Chinese. I've gotta avoid the cops. They've been terrorizing people. Dealing with it means trying to figure out how to get home. They shut down public transport for 4 days, I still gotta work. The other day, the cops pepper sprayed a pregnant woman and then jumped on her. It's absolute madness. Thanks for asking. Pray for the citizens of Hong Kong, they've got a real fight on their hands.
