I am very light sensitive these days. I really need to stop reading when I go to bed. I'm an exceptionally light sleeper and very sensitive to ambient light changes. I refuse to bring my phone into the bedroom, see note below, but sometimes my MIL will text or accidentally text my wife (she's 65% into full blown dementia) and if that phone lights up, I'm screwed.
I've been up since 3am today, because it's useless to try to go back to sleep.
Anyway, so today I've learned in Opera (browser of choice) that dark mode is website dependent. Well, that's elephanting irrritating.
Weirder - the popups from code project are in dark mode. As I type this, not in dark mode.

I use a solarized light as opposed to solarized dark. But then I think I'm part mushroom, I like monitor glow.
A pale yellow or green works well for me. I'm opposed to dark modes for most things probably because I am old and crotchety (to reference a post above).
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

I'm with you, really terrible.
I feel like there's a lot I don't see in dark mode because not all shapes and colors are converted to some other color equally well.

Depends on the context. Some web pages I'm just used to a light background. But, for many, many things it's all about dark mode. It's so much easier on the eyes. Stuff like VS Code, Sublime, my phone, Windows, and so on I'll never go back. I still keep Light Mode in MS Word though because IMO they did a poor job on the dark theme.

I despise it, but then I only run into it when I'm using AutoCAD. At least it can be turned off, but it isn't easy finding the place to do so.

Dooble Web Browser[^] (Never heard of it before, but it's there)

Yeah, I also found the Dillo browser[^], but it looks like it is unsupported now too.

Oh wait!! How could I have forgotten? Seriously.
DuckDuckGo has released their own web browser: Download the DuckDuckGo browser app[^]
Now, let's get crackin' on that G browser -- and no, Google Chrome doesn't count.

Crap, I was about to say GNU IceCat, but I suppose that would be in the same vein.
However, behold! I found one: Guardian Browser.
Turns out there's a list of 217 on GitHub.

Dissenter.
I can't vouch for it however. There used to be a dissenter.com, but it seems to have been..."repurposed"?
And the fact that it's now on Softpedia makes it look rather suspicious.

My SO and I have been together for some time and she's been giving subtle hints lately about tying the knot.
So I'm pretty dumb you gotta hit me over the head and straight out tell me what you want, and she hasn't.
So the other day I said to her: "You remember that jewelry store where you had your earrings reset?"
She got all excited and responded: "Yes"
I said: "There's a hardware store next door would you pick up a box of nails on your way home?"
Now she's madder than hell and that's how the the started.
