I have written a little userscript to do this:
https://github.com/susam/userscript/blob/main/darkhn.user.js
Additionally, I have another userscript to increase the font size:
https://github.com/susam/userscript/blob/main/bighn.user.js
Together, this is how my HN pages look:

If there was a dark mode, it should use the `prefers-color-scheme` css media query[1] to detect user preferences.

If you can't override CSS, you aren't a hacker.
I just want darkness on every device
“how to center a div” is in front page of HN every couple of years without fail… so no :)
