The original seems to be on LinkedIn. Does anyone else find it weird when geek content is posted to LinkedIn? It's the last place I'd think to look. Am I missing out or is this an outlier?

There are _a lot_ of posts that I have to scroll through of little to no value, but every so often I see a post by Yann LeCun or the lead developer advocate at TensorFlow or a paper someone has liked that catches my eye or a new model release.
"Machine learning LinkedIn", as it were, is a real thing; not sure whether this applies to other disciplines.
Am I the only one that's horrified that window.screenX and window.screenY exist? This is not information that I want to provide.

W-why is window LOCATION exposed to websites? Apparently even in FF private browsing... At first I thought this is an electron only thing. I get it that we gave up on fingerprinting resistance but this is like pissing on it's grave. EDIT: privacy.resistFingerprinting set to true fixes the coords to 0

I'm trying to guess why, and can only imagine that at some point the idea was to support multi-window webapps, like maybe you'd have separate windows for documents and different tool palettes, and they'd want to know each other's locations to try to prevent overlaps? I mean, back in the day, framesets were another idea that experienced some popularity before being totally eclipsed by -- all of this back in the era when everything was based on the multiple-windows paradigm rather than the multiple-tabs paradigm. Window.screenLeft apparently originated in IE [1].
Just a guess though. Very curious if there's any legitimate reason for it to continue to exist, or whether W3 ought to deprecate it.

Yep. There are some ridiculous web APIs out there that expose all sorts of things you'd think should remain private. Take the Battery Status API for example [1]. [1] https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Battery_Sta...
