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.

No! MS implementing something poorly? Inconceivable! 😱

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.

In my case, it's like with the truth law 
Quote: “All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.”
I am at stage 3, as I like to use it for all my coding. To this degree that coding on white pages feels weird . It produces really less strain in the eyes. But doing any "paper work" like writing in Word, feels weird with black paper , that's why I prefer normal writing on white background. Therefore, in my case - it depends (i.d. Jeremy) ...

Who is the idiot who designed dark mode without a way to indicate which window has active focus by highlighting the title bar somehow? Sh*t - that was done way back in Win 3.1 or earlier, wasn't it?
Other than that, and many dark mode themes not having enough contrast by using dark text, it is OK by me.

I don't. I feel like dark mode is generally harder on my eyes and somehow it is harder to find things in code with dark mode on. I don't know if that's a real thing.
I generally favor a mildly bright screen with night light on, but never in a dark room.

While it's not my preference from a visual stand-point, I now have it activated on both my phone and this laptop for the same reason - battery life.
LCDs use the least power on white pixels, since you aren't powering the shutter which obscures the backlight.
OLEDs use the least power on a black pixel, since you aren't powering the LED which makes the light.

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.
