Why do some website logins have the username and password entry on different pages? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

This is usually the right answer. In the past, logging in was a simple pipeline with no forks along the way. That’s why a simple username + password did the trick. Nowadays, logging in has become a complicated journey with several ways to get to the destination. Once the site knows your email, it knows what’s the next step in your case.

Why do some people have so many browser tabs open? (lemmy.zip)

I just saw a coworker with something like 30 tabs open in Chrome. I also know someone who regularly hits the 500-tab limit on their phone, though I suspect that’s more about being messy than anything else.

When I’m researching something, I might have 10-50 tabs open for a while, but once I’m done, I close them all. If I need them again, browser history is there.

Why do people keep so many tabs open? Is there a workflow or habit I’m missing? Do they just never clean up, or is there a real benefit to tab hoarding? I’m genuinely curious. Why do people do that?

How do people with epilepsy triggered by flashing lights, drive past trees that are backlit by the sun? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

If you were to get an epileptic seizure while driving, would it strike like lightning, leaving you zero seconds to react, or would you still have enough time to pull over safely?
