is anyone else annoyed that in the Win11 era you can no longer double-click the top-left corner of a window to close it (like you could basically forever)

[I mean it still works in Win11, but the point is that apps using "native"-styled windows are rapidly becoming a minority now, and when they implement custom titlebars they do not implement this anymore.]

back when Office 2007 got ribbonified (and more relevantly, CSD-ified) they specifically kept the top-left corner reactive to this, despite having been replaced with the big round "File menu" button otherwise, and it still works in Office 2021

but third-party apps don't bother, Firefox just has a completely useless corner there, as does the new tabbed Explorer, Chrome, iTunes...

today I learned that DVI-over-fiber is a thing

this new YAML-LD seems to me like redoing Turtle with all the disadvantages of YAML.

like even schema.org itself uses Turtle for its definitions

found on github a few years ago

Today I learned that the Gigabyte BIOS update app on Windows still uses plaintext FTP to download the system firmware.

Like, not even plaintext HTTP, but plaintext *FTP*. That must have been a conscious decision that took actual effort to implement.

And on top of that it uses *active mode* FTP, sending the machine’s internal IP address in the PORT command, which of course the server doesn’t understand and which I can’t manage to get our nftables-based gateway to properly rewrite...
