From the first moment I first went online in 1996, forums were the main place to hang out. In fact the very first thing I did was join an online forum run by the Greek magazine "PC Master" so I could directly to my favourite game reviewers (for me it was Tsourinakis, for those old [...]

    yeah, and discord slack and basically everything based on electron is a fresh hell.

    I love having three separate instances of chrome running the background while just using my computer, such that they all consume an entire gigabyte of ram for no particular reason.

    TBF i wouldn’t do much if any troubleshooting over RDP or anything similar, i use SSH for all that stuff lol. I’m just confused that nobody has put together a “relatively” functional version of this yet, it seems like it would be prime realestate.

      That is why upterm & tmate exist… ephemeral shared SSH sessions. Biggest missing feature would be some sort of scoping since someone could raw dog your system—catting SSH keys, deleting config, force pushing a repo if unlocked keys are in memory.

        if i wanted to share my terminal it’s pretty trivial to do that. Unfortunately i use my computer outside of the terminal environment semi regularly, for most applications really.

                that would be rather funny, although i play technical minecraft primarily, so minetest isn’t exactly a substitute here lol.

                    kind of, like i said i play technical minecraft so the kind of stuff i’m accustomed to are the fact that repeaters schedule power events on a priority system changing based on what it’s powering or not.

                    I will probably end up playing mineclone2/voxelibre at some point though, it’s just not really a substitute here unfortunately.
