Not that's its a commonly used but can't you middle mouse click and scroll around? And shift or alt (which I have actually forgotten) mouse wheel as well.

[Elfener → nhinck2]

Those do work, but I don't think most people know about them. Also, I think the middle mouse click scrolling ("autoscrolling") is disabled by default in firefox, potentially in chrome too.

[WorldMaker → Elfener]

It doesn't appear to be disabled by default in Firefox on Windows for me, I use it all the time.

You are correct though, that a lot of users never discover it.

I really can't imagine what you did to make basic functionality so difficult to achieve.

Even as someone who prefers making desktop apps, making Web apps should not be comparatively harder.

Do you profit from people testing your ability to memorise the book and give them the ability to substantially recreate the original work and act in competition to the original author?

[pfdietz → nhinck2]

Profiting from the act is not a requirement for it to be copyright infringement.

Do LLM providers?

On: Portal 64 taken down by Valve [video]

[nhinck2]

The video implies that they were amenable to allowing the project until they found out it used proprietary Nintendo libraries. Which unfortunately meant they couldn't ignore it.

[mort96 → nhinck2]

That's what I'm not buying. It's not like they had officially committed to supporting it or made it an official Valve product.
