You get a tool tip when hovering the mouse over the progress bar. But
now I see the chapters are also listed in the video description, which I
should have linked to in the first place:
00:30:35 Taskbar grouping https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDicLHBvQQM&t=1835s

There is an interview with Raymond Chen where he is trying to defend the
reason why they crippled the taskbar with Windows 11 [1].
Watching that I was just thinking NO NO NO - it worked fine for the last 25 years and there can be absolutely no reason why they had to destroy the taskbar now.
He deserves every headache he gets with these support requests.
Or to quote this comment of the linked article:
> There wouldn’t be as much of a need if the windows shell team was smarter [...] In fact I actively encourage, support, and celebrate efforts like this. Make their life hell and delay them. If they spend more time on investigating issues like this, they’ll have less time to f*k something else up.

Because fingerprinting. Shit like this is the reason you are supposed to use the Tor browser only with a tiny window.

> I guess there is some unfortunate reason why they can't do the same here
Because they want to support Git for Windows which is built upon Cygwin/msys. And this is fine because Cygwin is much faster than WSL and a good Windows integration is so much easier. Would be a total PITA if Git would only be available through WSL.
Cygwin is still the best thing ever happened to Windows (or to Linuxers who are forced to work with Windows).

Thank you. That inspired me to try out the lemmy android app. But that
was quite underwhelming. We'll see where that goes.

Sorry, but I'm too stupid to find it by myself. Would you give me a hint?
Comment · 3 years ago
Does lemmy has somethings like /r/all? Across all instances?
I'm not interested in subscribing to specific communities. The way I used reddit most of the time was browsing on /r/all using RIF and then I blocked all subreddits I didn't want to see again (a feature of RIF, you don't even need an account).

It looks like STUN/TURN can be integrated with QUIC so you don't need
additional ports, but I wouldn't say "the complexity is gone" ;-)
https://w3c.github.io/p2p-webtransport/
> This specification extends the WebRTC [WEBRTC], ORTC [ORTC] and WebTransport [WEBTRANSPORT] APIs to enable peer-to-peer operation using QUIC [RFC9000]. This specification supports the exchange of arbitrary data with remote peers using NAT-traversal technologies such as ICE, STUN, and TURN. As specified in [RFC7983bis], QUIC can be multiplexed on the same port as RTP, RTCP, DTLS, STUN and TURN, allowing the API defined in this specification to be utilized along with the functionality defined in [WEBRTC] and [ORTC] including communication using audio/video media and SCTP data channels.

> A big difference to WebRTC is: All the STUN / TURN complexity is gone
but STUN / TURN is there for a reason. I always thought of the P2P scenario as the main use case for WebRTC.

I cant think of a use case for me but I want it.
But a deal-breaker would be the comment from this German news article[1]:
> Wie alle bisherigen Produkte von Finalmouse wird es sich wahrscheinlich um eine limitierte Auflage handeln, die nach einiger Zeit ausverkauft ist.
> Like all products so far from Finalmouse it's probably a limited edition that will be sold out after some time.
This is bad news for something that requires an active community to unfold it's potential. I'm also skeptical about those "Skins" - they better should be "Apps".

> Well for one a website can make you secretly upload copyrighted content with plain old javascript
Only to a webserver and thanks to CORS not to any webserver. There is no benefit for a website doing that - unlike with sharing a torrent to other internet users.
The problem with torrents is that they are actively watched by "Abmahnanwälte" (lawyers who make a living by suing copyright offenders).
> And it's going to be hard to hold you liable for data uploads that someone else initiated and you didn't know about
yeah good luck with that. All they see is your IP and then you can try to explain how this happened and how you are totally innocent.

Was I wrong about the torrent stuff or did the downvotes come from
web-developers who want WebRTC to be always available by default?

Thank you, I will try that. Although I hope that for critical security
updates they will be faster... Right now it is lagging behind (105.1.0
vs. current 106.1.0)
Besides from being used to it, it is also required for my work to have wide, labeled, ungrouped application buttons instead of icons that are oftentimes barely distinguishable.
