Yes, but that’s hardly something I rely on. I prefer just copying my whole music library across several hard drives, some of them staying outside of my home. If I have to rip everything again, it would be quite a lot of work.

I still buy CDs. Do I listen to them directly? No, I rip them and go with the FLACs, but it’s still nice to have something physical, especially if buying directly from the artist (e.g. at a concert).

I’m in this picture (or, if I’ve had it, it has been asymptomatic - but I doubt that I have), although it’s not as much luck as it was precautions on my side. The first year I would only go out when I need to (and I was working from home full time before that anyway). For some time after I even avoided meeting people outside. Got my shots pretty late, I think in early 2022, because I wanted to go to an outdoor festival with a lot of people.

I think you can be available on Messenger without anything else.

Fair enough, unfortunately (AFAIK) even if you buy loose/roll-your-own tobacco, it still comes from the same industry.

Someone with reverse OCD?

Why don’t you just choose small tobacco?

Fair enough. I’m not saying “don’t use dark mode”, I’m saying don’t rely solely on it. Dark mode with brightness cranked up to 100% might be worse than light mode at 20% brightness if that’s appropriate for the ambient light you’re in.

I agree about contrast; to me white text on black background is about equally as bad as black text on white background (but fortunately most dark themes are not white on black). I look at text all day long and usually prefer something with a medium gray-ish background and light letters; in very rare cases I’d resort to a light theme just for its contrast (e.g. working on a laptop outside during the day and I can’t bring the brightness any higher).

University is in the end what you make out of it.

Talk to people, make some connections - this is what might end up landing you a job, not necessarily what they teach you or the diploma you might or might not get.

Joke aside, looks like your screen brightness is too high to begin with. If it’s set correctly, a light mode tab in an otherwise dark UI should be a mild disruption, not something that blinds you.

Legitimate suggestion: get into the habit of controlling the screen brightness and your eyes will thank you. There are DDC utils that let you control the hardware brightness (and other parameters too) of the monitor via software. I for example like ClickMonitorDDC (works well even if it’s practically abandonware), you can do things like scheduling based on time of day and controlling multiple monitors simultaneously.

Imagine it being called “Rock paper scissors” before the latter two having been invented.
