    1. Hover effects, you often want to respond to the user hoving their mouse somewhere, for instance showing a tooltip.
    2. Battery/network saving, a site can pause animations or reduce update requests when the window is inactive.
    3. I cant really think of a good use for this one these days, it was something browsers had in the 90s (not just readonly, websites could move your browser window where they wanted for a while). Maybe its kept for backwards compatibility.

  • For a lot of normal people linux just doesnt offer any advantages they care about. If you tell them it can do everything windows can do, the question “so why should i go through the effort of switching” remains. There’d have to be something they really want, that they can’t get from windows.
    Though average users use mobile devices instead of desktops more and more, so I can see windows becoming mostly a thing that people use at work.


  • Wanting to knock those bikes down doesn’t mean someone hates bikes. I strongly dislike cars, and have driven bikes my entire life (cause, netherlands), and if I walked past these bikes I’d also feel a slight temptation to kick them down (no, I wouldn’t actually do it).

    You claim it’s a small problem, but would you feel that way if a car parked half way on the sidewalk? It’s not a small problem for someone in a wheelchair. They already face enough obstacles, and people who do this aren’t helping.

    Bikes being great and cars being horrible doesn’t change that someone here was being inconsiderate with their bike.












  • A human can, within limits.

    But software isn’t human. AI models aren’t “learning”, “practicing” and “developing their own skills”.

    Human-made software is copying other peoples work, transforming it, letting a bunch of calculations loose on it, and mass producing similar works as the input.

    Using an artists work to train an ai model and making similar stuff with it to make money off of it, is like copying someones work, putting on a mug, and selling that.
    It’s not using it as inspiration to improve your own skills.
