The Minions, fresh off their recent victory in sneaking another light-mode/dark-mode post into the queue, have struck again. Here we have Kontra’s take on the eventual dénouement of the dark-mode fad:
Mark my words: In the not too distant future, we’ll be arguing about rising depression and self-harm among computer and smartphone users induced by the dark mode all OSes are now adopting.

This is, of course, another example of Kontra’s wry wit but I must admit to a certain sympathy. With my eyes watering from site after site with unreadable dark blue on black text, I often feel the urge to stick a pencil in my eyes. And to tell the truth, I do feel depressed looking at those dreary dark-mode sites.
Of course, as I always say, the choice is up to you. Just don’t blame me if you find your sanity deteriorating.
