He got kicked out after he smeared shit all over the walls.

I don’t want to bring work into my home, plus I like meeting people. The only problem is the commute.

What a bullshit article. This is just Westerners trying to tell other countries they should be offended about stuff that doesn’t bother them. I’ve been near to that Ouarzazate site before and there is nothing for miles and miles around. It’s just a big empty area. It’s not fertile farmland, it’s the desert.

It’s not colonialism, it’s just business, and the Moroccans want it. Sounds like the author thinks African countries will lift themselves out of poverty with handouts.

What kind of image do Volvo drivers have where you live? Here Volvos are just seen as reliable but boring.

Are there sites out there tracking these things? If a company didn’t do this I certainly wouldn’t be noticing.

I’m always down for stuff like this but it doesn’t sound much different from having to approve the payment in the app or using one of those single-use cards. I’ll wait and see how the passkey works.

I don’t know much about the tech behind either, but when I’m using VNC it feels like I’m just remote controlling the mouse and keyboard on another machine via a series of streaming jpegs and when it’s full screen I either have to scale the display so all the elements on the screen are too small or too big, or have scroll bars.

With RDP it’s so smooth it’s like I’m on the other machine. RDP doesn’t just remote control the screen on the other computer, it creates a new desktop session formatted for the remote computer. Someone else can even use the other computer while you log in as a different user. I don’t know if VNC can do this but RDP can even forward local drives and devices to the remote computer, you could plug a USB into your laptop and have it connect to the machine you’re RDPing into. It’s so seamless that I often forget I’m using a different machine when I have it in full screen.

I don’t care that it’s Microsoft, RDP is so much better than VNC.

The article also mentions that it may have happened because the father was unhappy with how the superintendent had dealt with the daughter being bullied.

As long as you can secure them it should be fine, and as long as you can deal with the user account issues. You’ll either need to join them to your Windows domain or explain to people why they can’t use their normal username and password. You’ll probably find the kids understand it better than the teachers.

I wish I could just go 10 minutes without using terminal.

I always think Linux caters to people with incredibly basic requirements such as a bit of web browsing, emails, and editing a document. And it obviously caters to total nerds like the kind of people who subscribe to the Linux section of Lemmy.

However, it really doesn’t cater well to the inbetweeners who want stuff a bit more advanced than what an iPad can do, it kind of just lumps them with a huge learning curve and says “get on with it”.
