Removing the feature seems pretty unlikely, since most web-based video conferencing products rely on WebRTC. In today's remote work world, that would be quite the throwing of the baby out with the bathwater.

One of the Webseeds[1] specified in the Sintel torrent is that URL. That HTTP address basically acts as another peer in the swarm. 1. https://www.bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0019.html

People hate on Electron apps, but it sure enables some cool stuff. I can't imagine another sustainable way to build a fully-fledged IDE that runs as a desktop application that people love, _and_ can be run on a remote server instance,

For those looking for replacements, Google Flights and Skyscanner have been mentioned in this thread... But also consider checking out Great Escape[1]. It has a neat UI. 1. https://greatescape.co/

I too am interested in this. The only thing I've been able to dig up so far is that it's a new codec, built for BT LE Audio, that seems to have been designed by Synopsys[1] 1. https://markets.businessinsider.com/ne

This seems like a rebrand on the International Fixed Calendar[1] proposed in 1902. The idea was to shorten every month down to 28 days create a 13th month, and have the last day of the year be an international "Year Day" holiday.
