Citing convictions overturned on appeal probably isn't the strongest evidence of illegality. (Because they were overturned on threshold issues that didn’t involve inquiry into the substantive merits of the charges, its not evidence against illegality, either, but...)
My point is people have gone to prison over GET parameters, not the legality of the it. DOJ has CFAA. Abusing private APIs is flying close to the sun. Even if you do get out of prison eventually
I would like to see either as you describe (which I think would be the most relaxing), or have the direction-changing buttons also count as a click each time they are pressed. I found it tempting to switch direction, turn a piece, then switch back, often using two clicks instead of the three it would take to turn it clockwise-only, but very inefficient since I switched back and forth many times. Making those count as clicks, though, does up the difficulty and would make hitting the target require you to use them only once, so perhaps removing them altogether is the solution.
If you did it as clockwise by default instead of listing the ideal turn count you could list the minimum number of “counter” turns. Then have a button to do the next turn as a counter turn.
I used to use SSHFS to have access to remote files in the OS file browser. But I moved onto WebDAV (via lighttpd) because I like managing the auth outside of PAM and also OS file browsers (including Win/Mac) have good support for it
Just for another point of anecdata, I've also had success with OBS' virtual camera with most video conference apps, besides specifically Jitsi in Firefox, which seems to have an issue where it forces loading the hardware camera before letting you choose the virtual camera, and that fails because OBS is already hooking it.
