Some blinkies inspired by a post by @aropride here.
Since starting this next semester at university I've been finding joy in life and really cutting back on quick dopamine fixes (I've found the main culprit has been social media). Deleting social media off of my phone and using my laptop instead to interact online has been instrumental to my finding my love of learning again. Making a boundary between me and the internet has helped me realize again that every action is an adventure. Don't waste all of your time scrolling and don't let corporations rob you of your privacy and attention spans.
Weve heard of planned obsolescence . What about accidental obsolescence. Robots built to be upgraded over time, to be cared for, being left to slowly decay when the person who cared for them is gone. They meant to fix me. They're gone. I can't fix myself. So I decay. Something something . Love and loss and watching yourself rot

"sign up for premium membership to download this video" - okay, but you showed me the video already. youre gonna disable right clicking and sell it back to me? on the webbed site? you think the browser will prioritize your wants over the users? fuck off back to your app with that shit.
but for real, you should get a little notification in the corner whenever a website replaces a context menu with its own or disables functionality in some way so you can override it. maybe the user agent would have a better time serving the user if it ... asked the user?
