Well Discord, Slack, & others are web tech too so it’s not like avoiding it is easy. If I have to use these services, I would prefer it be in the browser’s sandbox.

Even still, almost all debug, troubleshoot, pairing session I have done in the last 4 years have been done over Upterm or Tmate, which is much, much lighter on bandwidth & not crushed by video compression.

yeah, and discord slack and basically everything based on electron is a fresh hell.

I love having three separate instances of chrome running the background while just using my computer, such that they all consume an entire gigabyte of ram for no particular reason.

TBF i wouldn't do much if any troubleshooting over RDP or anything similar, i use SSH for all that stuff lol. I'm just confused that nobody has put together a "relatively" functional version of this yet, it seems like it would be prime realestate.

That is why upterm & tmate exist… ephemeral shared SSH sessions. Biggest missing feature would be some sort of scoping since someone could raw dog your system—catting SSH keys, deleting config, force pushing a repo if unlocked keys are in memory.

if i wanted to share my terminal it's pretty trivial to do that. Unfortunately i use my computer outside of the terminal environment semi regularly, for most applications really.

The folks I collaborate have a policy now that if it doesn’t have a TUI or CLI version, it doesn’t exist 😂

based, i like those people. Unfortunately i can't exactly share a minecraft window over terminal, so...

Oh you could if so inclined run a Notcurses renderer for Minetest. https://l-m.dev/cs/hijacking-opengl-with-notcurses/

They already have a render for NEStopia + RetroArch lol

that would be rather funny, although i play technical minecraft primarily, so minetest isn't exactly a substitute here lol.

[–] toastal@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The VoxeLibre mod is a substitute

[–] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago

kind of, like i said i play technical minecraft so the kind of stuff i'm accustomed to are the fact that repeaters schedule power events on a priority system changing based on what it's powering or not.

I will probably end up playing mineclone2/voxelibre at some point though, it's just not really a substitute here unfortunately.
