grateful to folks like @sarajw¹ and @mayank² for meticulously documenting how modern CSS makes theming much easier - except, much like with responsive design, retrofitting dark mode³ to an existing site is daunting at best (hashtag themable-first? 🤷 )

@lars @ewolff as air-crash investigation enthusiasts, you might be interested in this F-22 mishap analysis: 📼 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxhsLwAE29c (cf. https://www.airforcetimes.com/news/your-air-force/2018/11/19/investigation-pilot-error-incorrect-data-caused-f-22-to-crash-skid-on-takeoff/)
