Last Notes npub197sa0ped9vpq3ftvz0cdedph34qra0ufee9sehsyrhf9vl276qasp66erz SamuelJohnson @npub19st…u9g9 It's a VNC-like capability in Chrome. I used it when I had a Chromebook. NoMachine on Mint is my current pick (carries sound, unlike most; also the fastest). npub197sa0ped9vpq3ftvz0cdedph34qra0ufee9sehsyrhf9vl276qasp66erz SamuelJohnson @npub19st…u9g9 Wokeness wasn't the problem here https://pca.st/podcast/fa8b8c00-cbea-013c-5cda-0acc26574db2 (worthwhile story) npub197sa0ped9vpq3ftvz0cdedph34qra0ufee9sehsyrhf9vl276qasp66erz SamuelJohnson @npub188q…3jlx Your English is 👌, and so are your videos. Brilliant, actually. npub197sa0ped9vpq3ftvz0cdedph34qra0ufee9sehsyrhf9vl276qasp66erz SamuelJohnson @npub188q…3jlx OK. I had no idea. But "off of" is a horrible Americanism and always wrong imo. Based on/upon, svp. I will die on this hill. npub197sa0ped9vpq3ftvz0cdedph34qra0ufee9sehsyrhf9vl276qasp66erz SamuelJohnson @npub188q…3jlx Happy New Year. Would be good to see links to other sources too. PeerTube etc. npub197sa0ped9vpq3ftvz0cdedph34qra0ufee9sehsyrhf9vl276qasp66erz SamuelJohnson @npub19lt…qfjk Ah, you're trolling. Sadly, the umbrella organisation might as well be a secret. https://cgiar.org npub197sa0ped9vpq3ftvz0cdedph34qra0ufee9sehsyrhf9vl276qasp66erz SamuelJohnson @npub19lt…qfjk It's an international scientific research organisation, a publicly funded not for profit, operating under UN auspices. npub197sa0ped9vpq3ftvz0cdedph34qra0ufee9sehsyrhf9vl276qasp66erz SamuelJohnson @npub19lt…qfjk The best info is at https://cipotato.org. And none of it is secret. npub197sa0ped9vpq3ftvz0cdedph34qra0ufee9sehsyrhf9vl276qasp66erz SamuelJohnson @npub15zu…s7lx That was 20 years ago and, I gathered, standard operating procedure at the time. It has likely all just continued. Ironically, Peruvian "peasant" food, which was readily available, is fantastic. The race to McDonaldize the world was and is sickening, literally. npub197sa0ped9vpq3ftvz0cdedph34qra0ufee9sehsyrhf9vl276qasp66erz SamuelJohnson @npub15zu…s7lx I sat beside a guy on a plane flying tens of thousands of day old chicks from Miami to Lima once (for sale to American fast food businesses). All the same gender to ensure they couldn't be bred locally. But what if it happened? Wouldn't matter. The rate of improvement in growth rate is such they'd never catch up. The idea that there might be a limit to this - economic, moral, ecological etc just not on radar for US or indeed any industrial agri-business. npub197sa0ped9vpq3ftvz0cdedph34qra0ufee9sehsyrhf9vl276qasp66erz SamuelJohnson @npub15zu…s7lx not mentioned: Ireland is ahead of the UK on every metric of human wellbeing from child mortality to longevity and everything in between (social mobility, education, gender equity etc) and the gap is widening thanks to Brexit. It's a tough choice: 6th biggest economy with grotesque inequality or a higher standard of living in a fairer society not drunk on illusions of greatness. npub197sa0ped9vpq3ftvz0cdedph34qra0ufee9sehsyrhf9vl276qasp66erz SamuelJohnson @npub15zu…s7lx as opposed to in plain sight, like the Tories 🙄 (abuse includes deliberate impoverishment, trashing schools, ruination of life chances) npub197sa0ped9vpq3ftvz0cdedph34qra0ufee9sehsyrhf9vl276qasp66erz SamuelJohnson @npub19zq…u4m5 @npub1n2s…hkx2 Designed for aviation for which the international standard is English. If you like it you can fork it and change it. npub197sa0ped9vpq3ftvz0cdedph34qra0ufee9sehsyrhf9vl276qasp66erz SamuelJohnson @npub1s3d…0tcp @npub1psd…9sr7 @npub1g3j…k5cu @npub1dme…ch6s In my mother's case it was the sudden appearance of a "cigar in a wine glass" on her ipad that caused problems (result of an update by a "helpful" nephew whom she allowed to use it, against advice). Long press on the home button summoned Siri, completely blocking access. Impossible to avoid if you have a tremor. Hour and a half drive later: ah, it's a microphone. And Siri has replied "Language firstname" Confidence blown permanently. Never used it again. npub197sa0ped9vpq3ftvz0cdedph34qra0ufee9sehsyrhf9vl276qasp66erz SamuelJohnson @npub15gn…gx9s Because small organisations have much better cybersecurity? Unfortunately, that's entirely wrong. npub197sa0ped9vpq3ftvz0cdedph34qra0ufee9sehsyrhf9vl276qasp66erz SamuelJohnson @npub188q…3jlx FWIW For straight Linux desktop to Linux desktop (I have used it w Windows in the past) NoMachine is, in my experience, by far the FASTEST, easiest to use, and most full featured* remote solution. *starting w audio support buts there's lots more, incl screen recording Used in combination with Tailscale there's no need to open ports or configure anything. Dual 4k monitors OK. Try that w any VNC. Not open source but it's completely free for personal use.
