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.

I just spent an hour playing with the CSS trying to make this happen and there is something fucky going on. I can make this show when I hit "preview," but then when I hit save and go check your comment, I see your normal flair. Not only that, I updated the sidebar image to a new one and I can see the new image in Preview, but then I saved and I can still see the old image. How is that even possible!? There is no code for the old image!! Maybe it will update in time.
