  • Multi Monitor support on a remote session for one. In fact as of right now the situation is even worse and causes the application to crash altogether instead of dropping back to a single screen. Yes, I probably could force a x11 backend and it might work. But I shouldnt have to.

    I am assuming this is the same security issue that has been there for a while. So many applications that could interact with other screens become broken. Maybe some of that is fixed, I suppose I should try again. But until I can multi-monitor with a remote session, I don’t bother trying.

    I am all for Wayland though, don’t get me wrong.


  • I still run websites. Some simple and static, others forums, yet others are blogs.

    I like to have small communities around simple interests and they get enough traffic to stay interesting.

    The blogs are for recording things I do and want to remember and share, like setting up postgres to do interesting things.

    None of them have ads or generate revenue. I just miss the old internet and like to see these things exist.

    At the same time, I don’t really care if AI scrapes it. It’s out there to be looked at. Of course one website is a complete farce, illogical and fake product nonsense. I enjoy it getting scraped the most.







  • Valve has made it so I can game entirely on linux. I remember when Steam started and I hated it, I didn’t want an account. But after all these years its been nothing but ways that benefit me.

    I like GOG but they can’t be bothered to even create a library tool. Yes third party ones exist, but you would think they could at least try.

    And in the end, if it all goes away, it was just games. Not like I couldnt get them back if I really tried, and if you really wanted to do something about it, you CAN archive your steam library.
