I like using dark themes everywhere and get flashbanged by photos with bright white backgrounds. Is there a quick way to tone down images so they don’t hurt my eyes? I use Linux, Firefox and Redshift.

    Lots of options, but the simplest is to lower the contrast and brightness values for your monitor. That will work on everything including images and video. You could also consider something like the redmode features of your OS and maybe even look at colour balance settings. If you take the curves and lower the highest bits you will selectively reduce brightness at the highest end without messing with less intense stuff too much. It looks a little weird but is easy enough to get used to.
