I use it to summarize search results on a certain topic, like what packages hold this or that library, stuff like that... or as a more comprehensive man page generator.

That's a nice camera stand.

RustDesk

That being said, it's developed by Chinese and communication with them is tough. Some security issues still haven't been patched (no one actually knows why, they either don't reply why or reply in Chinese with a cryptic message like "why ask this" or something weird like that). They're also notoriusly against anyone speaking anything against them (I once commented on their subreddit that the devs are mostly Chinese, so communication is kinda difficult, after someone asked why they don't reply or give scarce replies regarding issues and PRs on their GH).

Still, it's free and open source, so you can give it a spin if you'd like. The servers that come by default are super slow, the idea is to make your own (which kinda beats the point of actually having some sort of a replacement for TeamViewer or AnyDesk... if I wanted to set up my own server, there are other open source alternatives), which drew me away from it from the start.

I still use AnyDesk with version 7.0.14 for Windows and version 6.0.1 for Linux. The older Windows versions because there is no red bar over the window that says "free version" or whatever and the older version for Linux because it just works better than the latest one (6.2.x), I have no idea why.

I really really hope we don't date... ever.

Well, yes that is true, but still, it's not public either.

I might have to change my lingo to using DM instead of PM cuz some people don't actually know what I'm talking about.

Dude, everyone calls them DMs, on FB, here, Reddit... in fact, I've never seen anyone call them PMs, except for me.

I ran into a person the other day, I wrote "I'll PM you" and he replied "What is PM 🤨" 🤷. They may be young or just a late internet adopter, but still, that was just a sign for me that I should probably adopt the new DM lingo, as some people just don't understand what I'm talking about.

That is clear... well, at least regarding corporate social media. Admins in the fediverse can read PMs, but why would they, they have no insentive to do that. Hell, I'm still an admin of a forum and I can read all PMs but I have no incentive to do so, I couldn't care less what people talk about in private.

Still, that doesn't mean that the content of the conversation is of any interest of the company. The monetization of the converstaion, yes, but the actual converstaion, no.

That's why I prefer pirate/NSFW instances. This account isn't on that kind of instance, but my other accounts are. Pirate instances are preffered, since not many defederate from them because they're not NSFW. They tend to pick their server's locations very carefully, usually in countries that just don't give AF about western law and policy (they call it "offshore hosting", but in reality, they're countries like Russia or China), so it's really really hard to actually pressure them and even harder to get to the data. And even if they succseed, it'll be after years, at which point, the trace will be cold and probably not worth persuing anyway.

This is one of the methods tycoons use to launder money, by doing bank transfers to banks in countries that don't care about western policies and laws. And by doing a few back and forths, you're essentially delaying the whole thing. Hell, some of these guys died waiting to be put on trial, lol 😂.

And it doesn't change the fact that only you, the other person and the wiretapper know about that conversation ever happening... well also whoever they might have shared that with as well, but that's still not public as in someone reading this comment. Everyone can read and confirm that this is what I wrote.
