All these animated gifs are annoying and distracting, and I can do without the unfunny boomer memes from 2010. It's just annoying to try and read text with all these colorful gifs being spammed.


May I suggest reader view as a solution if you use Firefox?

But this is a technical topic in a visual concept. I appreciate visualizations and absolutely praise shaders in contexts like these.


Usually I'd agree but I can only see embedded videos which respect the disabled autoplay setting.

Edit: nevermind, once started it's impossible to pause the videos, they always continue playing after scrolling.


I was not sure how to handle that.

Battery optimization disables the top video element of a muted video once you scroll past it, which stops the WebGL samples from playing. Landing in the middle of the article from another page also prevents the WebGL samples from working with video, which is supposed to illustrate the realtime processing aspect. But unmuted cannot be auto played.

I'll rethink how I approach this for my next article. Maybe a pause button under every WebGL sample?
