You can get a relatively understandable tldr with well segmented text like this, if you read only the first sentence/few words of each paragraphs.

Fully offline “proplus” is still office and fortunately that’s the only one I had to deal with since this change, so I’m not 100% familiar with their newer offerings

No, it’s just remote. Remote desktop is now also called Windows, also the operating system you are connecting to is called Windows.

Gnome has relatively good rdp support, so with this you could use Windows (the app) on Windows (the os) to connect to you Linux machine running Gnome.

It seems deliberately confusing naming is working as expected, Microsoft marketing team should get extra raise.

It’s a remote desktop client, so it won’t. OP read only the title of the article

They love to do this. 2 years ago they renamed Office (the online, browser based version) to Microsoft 365 https://www.computerworld.com/article/1614302/office-to-be-rebranded-microsoft-365.html

They can present the “new” apps to shareholders

No it’s an RDP (Remote desktop) client

If you would read the article you would know that the title is perfectly correct, as currently it’s only available to Win, other platforms are just planned.

It’s an RDP client you can connect to pcs on the network or vms on azure

Early iOs and Android icons were one of the last offshoot of the style called “Frutiger Aero”

Flat icons don’t necessarily bad and undetailed, it’s just harder to create something more recogniseable with less tools, but I actually like the order, that they look like they are related to each other. Back in the day I created icon packs for the programs I used on pc, so my desktop would look clean and uniform.

Design styles are in a cycle, just wait some years and they will show up again, I’m sure. There is already some connection with the new style of windows 11.

Use WSL on the laptop for ssh, that’s actually a VM. VM separation should work correctly, or we have a much bigger problem. Just reset WSL, everything should be wiped related to the ssh sessions. Work IT would maybe allow that.

One of them is a laptop, why ssh to the server isn’t an option? Set up tmux on the server so it always connects to the same session, so you can just continue where you left last time. If you need desktop support, rdp in gnome works really well.

E.g if you connect with this command, and tmux is installed on the server, it will start a new session named “main”. If a session with that name exists it will connect to that:

ssh -t pi@192.168.1.2 tmux new-session -A -s main

Add something to .bashrc on the server to always do the same if you work on that phisically:

if command -v tmux &> /dev/null && [ -n "$PS1" ] && [[ ! "$TERM" =~ screen ]] && [[ ! "$TERM" =~ tmux ]] && [ -z "$TMUX" ]; then
tmux new-session
fi

Was it even a goal? Mastodon can be used for internal communication, e.g. https://social.kernel.org is only for linux developers, and I know a local university where they have a defederated mastodon instance where every student automatically got registered.

If they just needed it for posting news maybe simply having a profile on one of the big instances would be enough. I see they had only 270 users.

I found the update 404 media article, this article is based on: https://www.404media.co/heres-the-pitch-deck-for-active-listening-ad-targeting/

It’s behind a paywall, and I couldn’t found a way to remove it. But from the top screenshot it seems like it’s the same bullshit from the same company… We know from the past that they lie about this, why is it a news that they did the same thing again?

It’s already started, link for the livestream:

Better article about this story:

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/12/no-a-marketing-firm-isnt-tapping-your-device-to-hear-private-conversations

This is nearly a year old news, and noone ever could prove it.

CMG is simply lying. Also originally it was not “leaked” it was published on their website, it’s just the same bullshit from different source.

It was not just a “leak” this was literally on their website a year ago: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/12/no-a-marketing-firm-isnt-tapping-your-device-to-hear-private-conversations/

Marketing people bullshitting to get investor money. Anyone can imagine non existent technology and lie on the internet, you don’t have to believe everything

East Berlin had trams, West Berlin had double decker buses. The doubledeckers can’t pass safely below the wires of the tram, so if you see a tram you are in former east Berlin, but if you see a doubledecker you are in former west. At least that’s what my friend told me years ago who lived in Berlin for some years. Can someone confirm this? I can’t find any info on this on the internet.

Is snapchat still a thing? Never used that but I thought from screenshots and memes that tiktok killed it (never used that either)

But it’s a Friendica post, not from Mastodon. You can’t write such a long posts on mastodon
