  • 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






  • 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.









  • The problems with the Lemmy developers though is plain on the face of it. Problematic political and social positions. And then demanding that donations must go towards furthering those problematic political and social positions. Because they think they found this one weird trick that nobody can argue with. Their Flagship server is the political server. It’s not lemmy.org after all.

    Not to mention that the admins of the server moderate more than most the moderators on the server. There is no free speech. It doesn’t matter how moderate or respectful you are. If you go against the narrative you will be banned.

    Development wise they are also vanguard minded. Does the userbase want features the devs aren’t working on? That’s too bad. The devs are going to work on what they want to work on. Whether or not that’s a good thing. Which can sometimes it can be. It also has led to a number of people reluctant to contribute. The childish cliquesh behavior.

    You’re not always going to agree with the politics and views of the people who write the software you use. And that is okay. But when they mix the two it’s not wrong to have issues with that.


  • It’s in the readme. Several comments above this and around this all mention it. You can search for it and you will find it.

    Dei really shouldn’t be considered politics of course. It should just be a part of being a decent person. But those who persecute others or don’t care about the persecution of others at least. Always have to put on a show to make everything about them. How acknowledging traditionally excluded people is somehow an attack or imposition on them


  • Being left or right doesn’t make you good or bad. There are plenty of reasonable right-wing groups. However few to none of them identify as right wing. The Democrats in the United States for instance. A staunchly, solidly right-wing group. That most people somehow mistakenly think are left wing.

    No, the people desperate to identify themselves with vagaries such as left or right. Almost without exception are some of the worst most horrible people you’ll ever meet. Only trying to deny the failures of their ideas, or deflect from the horrible things they want to do to others. Leninists and fascists are both Prime examples of this.

    Anyone who talks or acts like DEI is a problem is a clown who deserves to be ridiculed. Its possible to have substantive nuanced criticism of DEI. Left or right. But DEI isn’t the problem. The people whining about it typically are.
