No thanks. When you are my age you will understand.

I have no idea why all the fucking vibed websites that swank around the web these days are unable to do a simple thing:

  * Have one or more "themes" with dark and light variants
  * Query the browser for a preference of light or dark and offer the default theme with the probed variant.
There is also the rather wider issue of accessibility in general. I happen to be an older bloke with astigmatism and rapidly worsening ... fucked up focussing and glasses and that. I'm lucky to have both eyes and decent colour perception and general all around acuity (for a given value of acuity).

It's 2026 FFS. Why on earth is this even being discussed as an issue? We have all these cool vibed efforts that can't even be bothered with simple basics.
