I just started watching Ed Pratt's "unicycle across the USA" YouTube videos, and it starts with him meeting a group who do that.

I've recently noticed web forms and appointment emails start to use that format. Maybe web devs are sneaking it in bit by bit.

Sometimes it's faster than finding the mouse cursor when clicking a link or a button (and when filling in forms with check boxes), but probably my biggest use is if I'm browsing around Google maps or Earth.

Click-drag click-drag on the trackpad is just slow and frustrating compared to just dragging the on-screen image.

I use a macbook sometimes and it's a bit infuriating when I try to drag the screen.

I don't use it constantly but I'm used to having the choice whenever I decide it's easier.

Rsync can. For instance, rename files instead of deleting them, so that your backup keeps old files in case they need recovering.

It can also make hard links to existing files so they you can create multiple backup directories that share unchanged files to save space.

Also check out rclone, a similar tool with a focus on supporting many target types, plus it can encrypt a remote location, then mount that backup to access the decrypted files.

Don't assume that recognizing fakes is a younger generation thing. Maybe the people spotting them grew up reading snopes and alt.folklore.urban so that they have a good idea of how urban legends, hoaxes and clickbait are constructed.
