          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.

        … as this chump continues to rice KDE3/GTK2 themes in their basement on their modded T430, a G40x mouse and a $100 gaming chair.

          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.

            By mentioning KDE3 and GTK2, my goal was to remind you of the emotional trauma KDE4 and GNOME3 came with. I love GNOME 43 on Debian 12, and found KDE5 couple months ago embarrassingly bad at performance and subpar (W10 tier) at polish

              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?

                Are you using some weird Lemmy client? I use Jerboa mainly (made by Lemmy devs), and browser website as well. They work fine, try them.

                I was just having a little fun with the shittiness of GNOME and KDE’s past.

                  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.

                  Don’t remind KDE of their KDE 4 past in their official communities. @Bro666@lemmy.kde.social, 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.
