I think the settings link is useful too; it allowed me to click on it and immediately flip the setting in question, which was exactly what I wanted. The blog post doesn't really contain anything more than, "We have dark mode now," anyway.

I love how it goes to the settings panel. Kudos m1.

Two clicks from the HN homepage and it's done. Informed and improved in one go!

I disagree but I am up voting so other people can see your link.

No, settings lets me immediately try it.
