@MichaelTunnell Thanks, Michael - looks like your auto linking is working well for this, which is excellent! A strong week for distros. Iâm especially pleased to hear Tails websiteâs going to be more user-friendly. Iâm quite techie myself but still find Tor a bit impenetrable (you did say you like puns ;-))
I donât know if itâs just me thinking this, but I often find it computing that trends go around - people copying whatever Appleâs doing, or Google etc. I think flatter âmore modernâ interfaces might have sprung from Googleâs material design, not sure. Felt like going backwards to me - to the Athena widget set when X was released, but anyway⌠When mobile devices started to become popular I think these hamburger menus started to pop up too (thereâs another one!) I quite like the old-school multiple menus but I guess theyâre not for everyone and Microsoftâs Ribbon seemed to have been the beginning of the end for those. For very complex applications I think theyâre still necessary, personally. Will keep an eye open for your video on CSD if you make one.

I did have to tweak the post a bit so still work to be done on that.
I think Material design has attributed to the Hamburger menu being created and honestly I think the Hamburger menu is a great asset to many things like mobile interfaces benefit from it greatly . . . but the adoption of it in GNOME Apps is just incredibly lazy design.

In your âhousekeepingâ segment, you mentioned that you have chapter markers in the podcast. I use Overcast to listen to all of my podcasts and I donât see any chapters for this podcast. Is it just me?
In mpv I can see them. I know in VLC it is different. So it could be indeed the program.
that is weird, maybe there is a conflict with Overcast and the way I am doing that. I donât have an iPhone to test that so hopefully I can figure out a way with your help testing.
