    html,body {
        user-select: none;

Makes me remember all those blogs disabling text selection to prevent people from "stealing" their work. Which is just terrible UX for people using it for reading, I generally just exit the website immediately.

Please, never do that.

yeah I turned that off in dev tools, but why author it that way in the first place, what possible motivation...?
Possibly to prevent fast clicks being registered as double-click user select, but with a too general a target.
