Somewhat related, a few years ago I noticed that an image with gaussian blur applied to it takes up significantly less space in JPEG than does the original image. I suppose it works out because the blur diffuses information throughout a particular area such that each JPEG block has less detail to encode internally?

using a phone to browse the web is really sad

Mark McCloud has about 30,000 tabs of LSD. He collects them, frames them, and catalogues them in his San Francisco home, which is why Mark gets periodically arrested by the DEA.

Specially since that on my hacker circle of Demoscene, during the 16 bit days, we were mostly on Atari and Amiga systems, then we had plenty of mouse time, and no one ever stop to wonder we weren't hackers because we had mices.
you can miss more easily with a mouse and have to adjust the position of the cursor to line up on two axis before any action
