Am a data hoarder with a shitton of flac yet I still buy cds. (And blue ray/dvds). It’s really about owning things and not losing acess on the whim of some random contracts between copyright holders.

A Debian preseed I guess

I wish the debate around gmos didn’t focus on bs about poison so that we could talk about it’s moral issues and the disgusting behavior that some gmo producers practiced

The current discourse around AI and how we are close from agi. Meanwhile we are just using machine learning… With a shit ton of gpus… All of that to approximate a math function.

What about airvpn ?

Hey, I heard (but have no proof so you will have to find them) that it is less effective on some ethnicities than others. If you are in that case, you may want to take a look ?

Nah it’s bs

Yup, she seems to be quite the scammer with her snake oils shop

Don’t worry !we just hate our own voices.

Title : Community consensus on Rustdesk with all the controversy in such a short time?

I have recently found out about Rustdesk looking for an Anydesk alternative, and it is amazing. Or so I thought. I have come to learn since its open release in 2021 not all has been a pretty sight. So I would like to know what people generally still think of Rustdesk to this very day. Do you still use the software or have you stopped using the software since you learned the things below?

• They “fixed” Wayland compatibility by disabling Wayland permanently switching users back to X11, even if they would not use Rustdesk or remove Rustdesk as it would change their system configuration permanently. (see here)

• They will commercialise the software but are still not communicating what parts they will commercialise. (source)

• They are obfuscating their Chinese whereabouts. Here is their Chinese company profile. Here is a news website that also makes mention of it. They have relay servers in China as well.

• They are still advertising the software as open source while the software is in fact not entirely open source and relies on binary files for their GUI. The nightly build is changing this but the stable client on their homepage is still not entirely open source. If you were to compile this stable version and use only actual source code and not binaries, you would have non-functioning software, because it is not 100% open source. Again, this is becoming irrelevant but they advertised it as such for two years while they should not have done so. Keep such practices in mind when entrusting a software manufacturer with your devices. This is not transparency, this is not trust.

Then the comments bring alternatives or the fact that criticism of any kind is banned on Rustdesk’s subreddit.
