randormie··on Is Dark Mode Such a Good Idea?
I think it also depends on the app.

For example Youtube and Twitch where the main content is in video format, dark mode is excellent - just like how the lights turn off in theatres.

Now when it comes to typing, in a Markdown app for example, a white background and black font feels more natural - just like a good old piece of paper.

randormie··on GitHub is experimenting with personal READMEs
I currently try to convey my (code) interests by pinning my favorite repositories on my profile, but this personal README is a ton more expressive. Looking forward to this!
randormie··on Apple tells app developers to disclose or remove screen recording code
It's creepy indeed. Not only do they collect all your actions (key presses included) but I believe they also send the activity to their servers via HTTP, rendering the SSL on the page that includes their script, useless.

One vote for #5. Also a general suggestion: these sessions could be livestreamed on twitch.tv for live interaction with viewers. Of course the VOD can still be uploaded to youtube later.
