        Remote full terminals, not just remote shells, are invaluable. Remotely displaying old HP Openview. Remotely displaying tn3270 to access the mainframe payrole system that only allowlisted the bastion host for security. Remote displaying legacy X apps, like my engineers migrating ancient flight control documents from Interleaf to QuickSilver, other Motif applications. There are industries still needing and using this stuff. Hell, there are still Apollo systems around running X11R4 and rlogin running around in server closets on token ring because of data that could never be migrated. Congrats on 42, you’re still young.

        If only. Took a long time to trust KDE again after their disaster called KDE 4. Worried as hell now that they intend to remove functionality in KDE 6, as well as making new wayland only features. And if you dare remind them of KDE 4, they get their pants in a twist.

            Ok, lemmy isn’t showing me the full context of our thread anymore… So I’m with you on the trauma of those terrible creations. Where were you going with it?

                Don’t remind KDE of their KDE 4 past in their official communities. @[email protected], one of their mods, is suuuper sensitive about it. He’ll say that mentioning it is rude, and if you dare stick up for factual statements, he’ll ban ya. Don’t give feedback, either. Anything other than praise he calls rude and tells you to go code it yourself. Real piece of work, that one.

                RandomLegend_dbzer0 that comes with the dbzer0 site. I’ve tried them all, but often I can’t open the sub replies link. In all of them it just spins when you click it, you never get to the comments. Had the same problem on two other lemmy instances and various themes in the past. Only thing I’ve tried that works is Voyager on my phone.
