On: Using Vectorize to build an unreasonably good sear...

is there an easy way to disable the multiplayer cursors on that page?

tbh I think it is very funny. Sent it to a few friends because of that. Was chased by a cursor for a minute and then did the same to him/her. Childish, but funny.

It only works well when the site is busy. The frontpage of HN makes it work very very well.

No idea what the article is about though.

What can compel a person to think something like this could be a good idea?

I bet there were a few people who said something like that the first time someone made music

I think the website itself has that product. But why would it be enabled on their blog... I don't know.

Reader view on Firefox does the trick for me

What a mess. It’s basically impossible to use the site now.

I guess it looked kinda nice with 1-2 visitors per minute but now…

Why, just patch the page to add the famous Cursor Monster! https://simurai.com/projects/cursor-monster/

I disabled JS with uBlock Origin and the site became usable again. What a bizarre idea to have this animation running by default.

My ADHD brain prevents me from understanding anything I read when the cursors and flags dance around the FOV.

'brain' will suffice here.

Oh... Is that why the page is suffering from the hug of death...?

Don't enable JavaScript.

[omegabravo → itronitron]

open dev tools, right click cursors.js - block this URL. refresh

[Semaphor → itronitron]

Block this: https://cursor-party.labs.partykit.dev/cursors.js

Unlike the recently frontpaged page, this one loads the annoying effects as 3rd party JS, so uMatrix automatically blocked it for me.

please that.
