I like the subject matter, but the bold italic typeface is very difficult to read.

I agree. It would help if the website owner added a way to load the site with a simplified style.

The thing is that the website is kind of close to be a decent minimalistic web (it displays quite ok on my phone), but the font choices and the transparencies make the reading experience a bit miserable for me.

Fear not, the website has a theme selector: https://www.exoticsilicon.com/themes https://www.exoticsilicon.com/themes. I quite like the 1980s theme.

Haha. They noticed your kvetching. > Avoid making yourself look stupid!

  The problem is: 1) Knowing that theme selector even exists without their angry little paragraph pointing it out. 2) All of the other themes are equally awful.

    That's what I love about the Theme Selector there. Every option is passive aggressively the same.

  The problem is that all the themes are terrible. Thank goodness for gemini.

No matter what theme you choose, the text is bloody unreadable. Why would they publish a website like this? Why did OP post this? > but they have the right.... I didn't deny that.
