when the intro said everyone was happy before introducing the platform, I knew it was going to be a community for steaming pile of shits.

After exploring a bit, it seems I was right.

I run a blog on hugo static website generator with TinaCMS (previously forestry.io). Forestry was more intuitive but TinaCMS can be self hosted and in active development so hopefully it'll get there soon.

Asking it on their Github issues would be more useful.

Aren't beta versions by nature, unscheduled?

Is it possible that they offloaded the scraping to a different company to avoid direct litigation now theyre out in the open? To say "we didn't scrape your website, and you can't prove it."

Like DDG, Ecosia, Qwant use Bing for their data Or how feds buy data from data brokers. Outsource the dirty job like every tech company does and shift the blame if caught doing something unlawful.

It seems they are trying to garner some positive PR after they scraped through everything without anyone noticing.

Afaik Rustdesk server isn't opensource and you're limited to using their free servers in Europe for relay. I just need an alternative for lan remote desktop.

RDPWrap 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.

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.
