Pain
summary
Living with chronic pain saps limited energy and common web patterns make tasks unusable: tiny targets, persistent CAPTCHAs and pop-ups, sticky headers and sharing buttons, and heavy tracking force repeated actions. The talk gives numbers (US ~100 million with pain, ~50 million severe), personal context (post-stroke fatigue, 346 accounts) and concrete mitigations: use content blockers, site-level calmed views, browser privacy features and proposals for a password store per site and a phone-controlled drug bandage prototype to reduce whole-body dosing.
