  • It may be your setup. I’ve used rustdesk to connect from an Intel with an Nvidia card to an Intel with an AMD card. And from an Intel to An Arm based raspberry pi. From my Android phone to all of them and from them to the Android phone. I’ve never had an issue.

    The thing to check out is if you have any firewalls enabled. Much like forwarding ports for remote X sessions. You will have to forward ports for VNC or rust desk










  • How is more Choice a purity test? No one should run unopposed. More choice is better. Especially in the primaries. It keeps people fighting for their seats And respecting Those they represent. Incumbents running without a challenge Quickly lose any concern or respect for Their constituents, and fall into the same old patterns of how can this benefit me.

    We had plenty of purity test in the last presidential election. And that really didn’t work out for us. It certainly didn’t help either that the Democrats ultimately didn’t hold primaries and handled the whole situation so badly. But I think it’s pretty safe to say. That we wouldn’t have and Gestapo charging into the fields and businesses. Seizing non-citizens and citizens alike. Making them disappear. As well as the emboldened attacks on our lgbtq allies.

    And literally if all we focus on is Purity tests. Not actually running people in the primaries to challenge these people who would fail the Purity test. How are things going to get better?






  • It’s not the reason, but it certainly is a reason.

    Another reason is. That it is an old protocol from the late 90s. And there isn’t a lot of Buzz about it these days. A lot of the problematic centralization we all now recognize was just becoming the norm.

    Feature parity at the time is also another big hurdle. Things we all take for granted especially in this day and age Avatar profile pictures etc. Jabber/xmpp did not have that for years. It may be a useless feature in terms of sending messages. people still like personalization etc. And it’s hard to convince people to switch if they have to give it up.

    Jump to today. And arguably services like Twitter Mastodon Facebook Etc all sort of fill that Niche to an extent. Maybe not as well. But enough again that it’s going to be hard to get people to switch to yet another system




  • Very likely.

    Both sides however have behaved badly and both have valid points. Brodie had a decent video on it. Though for me the BS DEI claims are beyond the pale.

    The Dev in question was pushing a number of breaking changes. Which yeah, if you’re pulling from git you’re gonna git bugs every once in a while. The problem is releases are so infrequent. People are pulling from the git and trying to use it for daily use. In order to get more up to date features. Some of the free desktop guys got a little too harsh with him. But then he sort of let loose with this whole Dei Etc psychosis. Which did him no favors.
