Am I supposed to hate this website, cause I kinda do

The mustard background with black text is harsh on the eyes.

strange. I quite like it

Me too. I get the impression of a very saturated off-white yellow.

But any more saturation and it would go all mustard-electric on me.

That's an interesting observation on variation of saturation response. Feels like useful knowledge for ... web site designers. Or any color crafter.

FWIW - Right Click, Inspect. There's a div with an attribute, "pointers" in the body root.

Deleting that makes the while thing a lot less stressful.

Try the night mode (top right corner)...

It's black text on black background (I'm on mobile Firefox on Android).

Night mode is an absolute delight on desktop, you're missing out

On desktop your mouse pointer is a flashlight. I wonder if it supports touch.

It’s not pleasant to read. Strange, since Tonsky is the curator of the Fira Code font, and would presumably be interested in presentation

uBlock Origin -> Disable Javascript

Problem solved!

Firefox reader mode is better still.

That breaks the video. inspect -> network -> refresh -> blocking the request for pointers.js works.

It doesn't on Firefox, you get the built in media controls.

Toggle the dark mode for a real treat.

Now that is really funny.

Future _improvement_ idea: the mouse cursors are shared, so the light switch should be, too! Let me play with the light with everyone
