Even on desktop the site is quite difficult to read. White on gray isn't a great reading experience regardless of font size.

Accessibility technology like reader mode is once again proving its worth.

White on gray is the only dark mode that doesn't hurt my eyes. I use light mode for practically everything except IntelliJ which has a great built-in "Darcula" theme (which is now opt-in in favor of a more standard dark mode that I hate) which looks similar to DF's theme.

White on black or dark gray makes my eyes bug out. I have pretty good vision but that's the only thing that actually hurts my eyes.

Hope you don’t get floaters when you age. You may be caught between a rock and a hard place.
