@cmuratori @Pentadact @obskyr like the good old windows hourglass. doing something. still doing something. still doing something.
@cmuratori @obskyr Agreed.
@cmuratori @Pentadact @obskyr some progress indicators are completely fake; just an animation of a sliding bar that slows down exponentially

@cmuratori @Pentadact @obskyr I remember MacOS 6 -- call SetCursor from a timer interrupt to make sure the cursor isn't frozen!
@cmuratori @Pentadact @obskyr Don't error logs accomplish the same thing? I imagine it'd be less vague than "it crashed at 87%"
