I wonder what is the reasoning for this.

It was written for them by very smart people to quiet resistance to these laws, and to make sure there's no possibility that there's a price to be paid by anyone at the ballot box. Most of them probably neither understand or even read it, they are voting for it because they were told to by the same people who told them to vote for age verification.

This is a reach. Children can't vote. If that was a real concern you would be banning adults from social media.

We should do that. Unfortunately adults have these pesky things called freedom, and rights. We should also ban them from smoking cigarettes.

The conclusion is wrong. The point of using these media queries is that:

1) You can only use tiny buttons with precise pointers.

2) You can only use hover popups with pointers that can actually hover.

In practice, much of this is too much work and everyone just designs for touchscreens instead. It's rare to find a website that even bothers with using title="" for tooltips because smartphones are a disaster of UI and lack tooltips.

When I was in school we were taught the 3 R's: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.

I haven't heard about Reduce and Reuse since.

Quite. And quite the opposite - I hear a lot of messaging encouraging us to consume more. To the point that most Westerners (and no doubt others) have a strong sense of entitlement when it comes to consumption. If you ever bring this sort of thing up with people the entitlement becomes obvious. We feel entitled to be transported thousands of miles in a matter of hours for 'a break'. We feel entitled to some of the most inconsiderate vehicles ever produced because "how else am I going to tow my boat/horse float?" As if a lifestyle that involves moving massive things around is a god-given right. And all of this within a matter of two or three generations. We truly live in the most entitled times.

Our personal morality has been corrupted by convenience and commerce. Too many people think that if something is legal, possible, and affordable, then why not? No room for consideration of others. Quite simply (and please excuse the strong language) we have become a bunch of selfish fucks. But because it's now the norm to be a selfish fuck then that makes it okay, right?

I've always admired the approach of my grandparents. Practical, economical, and able to enjoy doing the simple things that are actually necessary for living a good life. Sadly, that generation is passing. What are our grandchildren going to think of us?

Where do the people who understand this congregate?

While the top 30 on this entitlement ranking will contain a lot of Western countries, I can unfortunately confirm that they're far from alone, and in fact none of them will even take the top spot.

Same. What I find pretty incredible is that we've had single core scheduling, then multi-core CPUs, page files, etc., all that stuff as computers progressed through the decades, just for a single app freezing the entire system in 2026.

Where did the technology go?

We'll need an archived copy of the archived copy.

Some websites even do this for the favicon.

The favicon spec is a mess these days. The OG was 16x16 pixels, but now you're supposed to provide a whole slew of resolutions up to 192x192 and you can do SVG as well. And browsers have no consistency in how they pick the one to actually display.

> browsers have no consistency in how they pick the one to actually display

The same Firefox on macOS shows different favicons depending on if I'm using it on the laptop screen or an external one (probably because of different pixel densities). It's crazy!

Using different icons for different pixel densities seem reasonable, especially with the density being a supported descriptor on which icon to use: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/...

Why not use https://realfavicongenerator.net/

In my experience it works essentially everywhere to have a single png that's ~256*256px as a linked favicon, perhaps with a single .ico fallback.

Have you ever use an AI chatbot? It's basically a democratized scraper.

Type something stupid, it "visits" 200 websites and regurgitates some random gibberish.

Please understand that when you think of artists as "creative content authors" you are already off-base so any argument you make based on that is going to be incredibly wrong.

A piece of wisdom I read here is that "install any operating system like you can with a [PC]" is something that you can only do with a PC. PC's are the exception. Every other device is controlled by the manufacturer.
