My mental list of things like VLC, uBlock Origins, and Kagi are what keep computers usable for me, while also detaching me from the typical experience of non-savvy tech users. We live in software elysium.
I can't stand VLC. The only options are skip ahead 10 seconds and back 10 seconds. I prefer SMPlayer. I can skip ahead or back 10 seconds, 1 minute or 10 minutes.
