I made this user script for Tampermonkey/Greasemonkey back in 2016. Browsers don’t distinguish between simple links to an URL and links that contain javascript. All links use the same style. It can be confusing for a user. This script is an attempt to reduce user confusion when browsing the web.

Thin Red Lines – a short story
I came up with this short story around 2019. It’s inspired by King, Lovecraft, and Bruce Sterling’s Beyond the Coming Age of Networked Matter. Jake’s voice is barely audible, “Thin. Red.
