I feel like I might be the crazy one here, but I find dark mode to be significantly harder to read when the content is text-heavy. I shall remain a disgusting light mode creature.

If you're in the north DFW metroplex, I've finally found an exceptional decaf: edisoncoffeeco.com near downtown lewisville. I love their ethiopia decaf, it grinds, brews and tastes fantastic. They sell sell 2/5lb bags, too. Check em out, they're awesome. #coffee #decaf #dfw

Follow-up - it's 2025, surely all the govt agencies have linked my gamertag to my real name at this point. This is safe, right?
