I just fixed (or at least kludged) Dark Mode too
speaking of, with darkreader loading your blog occasionally makes it go a bit wild. I haven't tried to dig into it but you just made me remember about it
if/when it happens again, I'll see if I can profile it to see what's going on
so WP Dark Mode requires a bit of kludging and most themes are frankly slapdash, so it always requires kludging. I'm happy dark mode works as well as it does.

all software sucks, but WordPress particularly sucks
it started as blogging software, then overwhelmingly its users were business site designers, so that's who's paying Automattic
