  • RDPWrp used to be able to run a patched version of RDP for Windows Home to enable incoming RDP but it isn't maintained anymore. You didn't need to upgrade to Pro.

  • "It's all good until we decide to change the entire interface of the OS every few iteration, abandon apps you love to use, introduce you to multitude of messaging apps (any of which you can't be sure to last), so you need to learn everything over and over again.

    And have you heard about our new AI assistant, that's better than our old AI assistant that we're purposefully making dumber by the moment?"

    It’s all good with Google on Android because we need want your data.

  • So can I install this on a Windows Home PC (which doesn't allow incoming rdp connection by default) and access it through Linux? I know there is rdpwrap, but it hasnt been updated last I checked

    I couldn't find any clear info on this.

  • Why stick to the worse one, though?

    Why is mastodon the worse one?

    Many people coming from twitter run from the fediverse, because they’re told there’s nothing other than mastodon, which they find hard to use, lacking and extremely toxic.

    Why is everyone so adamant that Mastodon should accommodate to users leaving Twitter by being a Twitter clone? It was meant to be federated, privacy friendly, self-hosted, less toxic twitter alternative for small communities , not a clone of Twitter. People act like everyone becomes seasoned to using Twitter or other mainstream social media websites by default and it's mastodon's fault they leave because its not exactly like Twitter. It's pretty straightforward to forget all about the fediverse and rant all day, just like Twitter.

    It's one thing to improve UX for users and another thing entirely to specifically chaperone users leaving Twitter, which is not Mastodon's goals.

  • which package are you on? i've been wanting something like that

  • I just share the download link to my file manager (MiXplorer) and I can pick and choose where the download goes.

    It's not exactly what you want and some downloads (with redirects) might not work, but ever since i've used Mix, I use it exclusively to download everything from Firefox.

  • Thanks! I've been trying to replace Adidas Running (formerly Runtastic) so i'll give it a try. Runtastic bugs you to accept their TOS too often which needs internet. And If you're in the middle of the run, you can't get past that screen to view the stats. 🤦

    Needing a different app for viewing map seems a little inconvenient though.

  • Hence the rumors that the feds and state actors do the most of it.

  • you need pay a subscription every year to publish your app on the app store. You can sign your app and install it but it's temporary and you need to repeat it every time it expires afaik.

    But you need a mac for it. Don'tyou just love Apple's fancy walled gardens?

  • Safari is a very thin set of changes to WebKit, you can just run & build WebKit nightlies,

    you don't seem to understand software licenses, so please stop overselling yourself. Just because a software uses open source code, it doesn't automatically become open-source. You're first claim was Safari is open-source. It's not

    and compiling a browser for webdev. lol

  • The ability to customize the css and functionality of any web page without code

    Isn't that something other browsers have been able to do for ages with add-ons like stylus, greasemonkey and others. it doesn't seem all that groundbreaking.

    People might be hesitant to download a different browser what they can accomplish with a simple addon.

  • Also Apple is known for supporting its devices for years and years longer than Android phone makers, so I have no idea why anyone would claim anything about planned obsolescence.

    If a browser (iOS) is tied to a system update, you can claim to give out updates years beyond anyone else and it might include anything but a brower "update" and they'll still be able to call it a security update. Those updates to older iOS devices are watered down versions of what latest phones get.You'll also get security patches but Android can provide many patches directly through Google play store and services without pushing a system update.

    Android manufacturers might abandon phones, but there's an after market community which provides trustworthy updates and security patches long beyond Apple does. I still have an Android tablet which won't update further than 4.4, but can still run apps that are regularly updated through f-droid(website, their app doesn't support 4.4 anymore). With Apple you're fucked with Appstore, being the only source for apps. And your old device is as good as a pdf reader.

    That is planned obsolescence and both Android manufactuers and Apple do it. With Android, you still have after-market options without rooting your device.

    Sure you might say those third party app and ROM security isn't as reliable but for less half the price of Apple devices, they last way longer than what fanboys give Android devices credit for.

    Also Apple hardware is top-tier because they have exclusive contracts with with top-tier hardware manufacturers and limit everyone elses access to it. That's what you can do when you're a trillion dollar company. And yes, I agree their hardware is top tier, That hardware that runs only what Apple wants is what I reccomend to old folks and teenagers who are less technically literate and are likely tap every link on their email, popup on scammy website or download obscure game/apps from the internet.

    I currently have a Pixel 6 and and iPad, the most I do on iPad is watch some movies. And I say that as someone who hates both of them

  • anyone care to explain what we're looking at here?

    As a Firefox Desktop/Android user this sure sounds awesome.

  • Which beta? I'm on Signal beta on Android and it isn't there yet. The screenshot does look like an iphone

  • Humans are an invasive species.

  • "A person you never met is not your friend."

    No shit sherlock.
