Yes I believe him, dressed up like a member of The Specials (maybe sax 🎷 player?), and those punk rock skateboarder Vans that he's sporting with the suit.
Even the Sex Pistols were bankrolled merely to showcase their manager Malcolm McLaren's clothing boutique at 430 King's Road in London.
One of my exes was a pre Goth death metal chick with relatively short pink hair and that pasty white corpse like makeup in a different, classy lingerie ensemble everyday of the week ( It helped that she worked at Frederick's on Hollywood Blvd).
If what John Waters is quoted as saying has any weight (and I believe he's spot on) it's that the antisocial movement of the previous decade will be largely found to be insignificant and forgotten because they had no particular and unique fashion sense of their own to remember them by.👋💀

Yup. And some time ago too, I might add. The ability to take what works so well and complicate it to the point of absurdity never ceases to amaze.
#Margaret_Hamilton put two men on the moon with 4K of memory. 8K if you're counting the additional RAM on the Columbia's #AGC.
Well if you ever figure out how to lookup your NIC-HANDLE, as they're officially called (or rather, were), I'm BT-74 👋🤠
Yeah, that goes back to the days of "Direct Assignment" when #SRI also operated under the auspices of NIC.DDN.MIL.
Welcome to the club of unhappilly disenfranchised #NIC_handles 😥

Hey R.L. Dane,
as per your OP in this thread, I've been using #Remmina for years. X2Go, RDP, WhatEv really floats yer boat ⛵ , it's there.
Uh, oh, I feel a tangent coming on... Okay not to hijack your thread, but maybe you can offer a bit of your perspective on flatpak vs appimage alternatives, since I don't prefer either, and usually will go out of my way to create a native package for WhatEv distro I'm using if it doesn't exist, or just compile from source rawdawg if need be like I did with #Zed (which only impresses me because of Git integration and Vim bindings; and it's Rust) - Jury's still out on that one though.
Anyway, I just broke down and installed a flatpak for the #LaGrange browser because I got a bit lazy and didn't wanna make the .deb for myself.
Okay, back to your situation...
Remmina HERE is pretty comprehensive with the native package managers with ready to go .deb's for #Forky & Sid, #SlackBuild for #Slackware, #FreeBSD & #OpenBSD ports, #Devuan, #Gentoo, #Guix, and #Kali just to name some.
It's pretty straight-forward and a single package to accommodate a plethora of methodologies so you can use it as your Varsity first string go-to in a pinch most of the time.
Even better, is the fact that they don't have an ewb00ntew maintainer, lolz... Coz frinds don't let frinds run ewb00tew :p

It's almost not worth bothering to even mention this anymore, as anyone who's not a complete moron should intrinsically know this - considering the news coverage and legal proceedings resulting in the "no expectation of privacy", along with the "everything you do on company resources belongs to the company" paradigm that over the past several decades has been well established, very publicly.
Two things however, that may not have been realized by EVERYONE:
1. ) Anything you DO on company time belongs to the company as well. This includes ideas in your head imagined while on the clock.
2. ) Regardless of what you want to call it: #EMM, MDM, or the new buzz-acronym #UEM (which all means essentially the same thing), when coupled with #BYOD, also pierces your veil of privacy.I've been on both ends of this for decades as an IT Professional. It's ugly and can be destructive to your (expensive) personal property, so I recommend...
a.) First, don't do ANYTHING on your own personal devices when you're on someone else's clock! See #1 above.
b.) When you show up to work on your first day and they send you down to HR and then tech support, it's very common for them to innocuously ask to see your phone, at which point they'll install an #MDM on it. The best thing you can do then and there is to inform them that if anyone EVER touches your phone you'll break their fucking fingers; and if they want you to have a mobile device with an MDM/UEM installed on it, they can issue one for you from their inventory of existing corporate assets. Otherwise, pound sand bitches.

A couple of things.
1.) No. It is not (Short answer, in direct response to your question).
2.) Not linking directly to YouTube videos is actually ahead of the curve not behind it.
3.) Your current pactice to date of not linking directly to YouTube videos has a lot of benefits to your readers whether they bother to directly appreciate it or not. Here are some reasons for that, and facilities waiting for you, as a #Fedizen in the #Fediverse, and one who can appreciate the protection of people's privacy and data integrity free of being quantified by industrial data and privacy mining engines:
- PeerTube is a great resource, and you can link directly to any video hosted on PeerTube. Not only that but #PeerTube has facilities to quickly clone any YouTube VoD (check the license at YouTube or contact the Copyright owner (creator/publisher) directly if they didn't take the time to avoid the default YouTube license.
- If you're the publisher/creator of the VoD then what some folks do is to upload part of it to YouTube with a big splash banner alerting the viewer to visit a particular URL to the PeerTube instance (Many also specify Odysee) video. There are a lot of very prominent so-called YouTube influencers or creators that do this as standard practice, even splitting their videos into two versions - the beginning, which is on YouTube, and the rest of the video which is hosted somewhere else in its entirety, and this works very well for them.
- If it's not your creation, then there's a few #FOSS tools to instantly convert a YouTube URL to a VoD into an Invidious URL to stream the video. What's especially awesome about doing it this way, is that, on almost all Fediverse platforms, even the decrepit stock mastodon instances, a very pretty link preview of the video is presnted, and most Fediverse platforms even support an embedded player experience right there in your stream so you never have to leave your Fediverse client.
- Following up on that last suggestion, is the fact that when you post an invidious link to a video anyone who clicks through to view it can simply click on the download button, choose the quality of the video, and voila! They now have a local copy for themselves!NOTE: There are a lot of invidious servers across the Internet, I recommend choosing a good stable one that's been around for a while, and using that one by setting up a shortcut for yourself (you only need to insert the YouTube ID in the URL). If anything ever happens to that server you can quickly replace the actual Invidious instance for all of your vids :)
So again, to recap what I said in response to your poll, No. You're not behind the curve at all, you're a #pathfinder, ahead of the curve, doing your part to respect the privacy of others who may otherwise be deprived of the content that you publish.
As a #Privacy conscious publisher and obviously, a member of the Fediverse thank you for your commitment to user safety and the protection of their own Intellectual property and privacy, free from the tracking and privacy mining operations of the deprecated, monolithic silos!
All the best!

“Poke the bear joey, poke the bear!”
Don’t poke that fucking bear kids
“Poke it again Joey poke it again hahaha!”
You shouldn’t have poked the fucking bear… Now You Die!

You can’t say we didn’t warn you.
Stupid goes all the way to the 🦴 bone.
But really, What did you expect from idiots that even have their discussion groups on the very same deprecated monolithic silo that they’re in the process of burglarizing?
Beavis and Butthead have more sense than these Morons

#### takahē - A new Fediverse paradigm
#### 19 January 2023
Fresh out of the oven is #Takahē, introducing a very interesting basic functional motive for development and delivering a beautiful #UX. It also derives inspiration in the form of its #mascott from a species once thought extinct for about a century.
That is, until a single man obsessed with the saga of this large, flightness bird since his early childhood, endlessly sought out and eventually rediscovered it was actually extant 75 years ago through his tireless efforts.
In recent years, and not without some particularly problematic attempts in the management of this #endangered_species, the population of these magnificent birds has more or less stabilized at around 100 members living in the wild, thanks to the committed efforts of a government sponsored #refoliation, hatching, and rearing program; in conjunction with a comprehensive scientific tagging, tracking, and monitoring effort of those members released into the wild alongside the wild-born members of the #population.
The software project itself has struck me as rather special too, and not just for its two functionally unique characteristics amongst other #Fediverse platforms - first, and similar to name based #SSL hosting on #HTTP servers with #SNI, Takahē provides multi-domain virtual hosting capabilities to #ActivityPub - this is huge, and opens the door for for even the casusl home self-hoster to provide #turnkey #SaaS offerings to their friends and family members in the form of small and #single_user "virtual Fediverse server instances", in consumer based home #LAN environments - let alone the potential for commercial hosting endeavors.
To my knowledge, this is the very first time this novel approach to Fediverse networking over ActivityPub has been broached.
If you hurry, you might still be able to secure for yourself an account in their limited beta program.
Go ahead, you can do that now, I'll still be here when you get back 😎
And as if that alone were not enough to revolutionize the paradigm and dynamic of the Fediverse, Takahē also introduces multiple account (alt) identities for each user user account on the server. This can only be described as freaking groundbreaking!
A single user account for a person might be the base for say, both @[email protected] AND @userone@SLD02 .TLD02 AND @usertwo@SLD02 .TLD02 - that, at least to me, can only be described as, "The Bees Knees".
I'm sure that many will cite, and of course it is not only possible but quite likely, that this will lower the bar for abusive actors to engage in shenanigans. However true as that may be, such potential (and existing practice) exists already within the Fediverse so the ease with which bad actors will avail themselves of such toolings only is only trivially simplified, not introduced; besides, complaining about such a thing is irrelevant - the cat is already out of the bag.
Indeed, there are already other Fediverse server platforms (such as the Hubzilla (ZOT) and Misskey families of forks and variants that already support the creation and management of multiple identities under a single account anyway - but Bringing the SNI shared hosting experience into production with a single Fediverse server instance is truly unprecedented in Fediverse space.
There's a lot more. Did I mention the beautiful, and exceedingly intuitive UI? Of course I did!
There's another corollary that I alluded to. Did you miss it? It was right there, before your eyes.
Yes, there's a metaphor, craftily scripted between the lines of everything you just read (that is, if you didn't tl;dr).
The impetus for much of #decentralization (DeSoc) and the #Genesis of the Fediverse is arguably the notion of what was indeed a #decentralized #World_Wide_Web over the fully decentralized #Internet, having falling victim to capture by special interests - the #deprecated, #proprietary, #privacy_disrespecting and #legacy #monolithic_silos - owned, spawned, and managed by mega surveillance-capitalism #data_mining corporations.... IOW, the so-called, Sunnyvale Syndrome.
This effectively killed of much of the notion that there even still existed an independant, #distributed_network of services and sites truly belonging to the #individual_participants, i.e., average #schmoes like you and me.
For sometime now, many have even claimed and argued that the kinder, friendlier #web of days gone by, where small #communities of #people and #websites belonging to #individuals and small businesses were actually #extinct in reality - with only those well heeled analytically correct, SEO optimized, #subjugated websites and #chattel in the form of people that had sworn #fealty to their lords and masters remaining. #Apple, #Amazon, the #Google and #Faceplant having long since taken #possession of their souls and #identities.
It's dark, so incredibly dark. And you have awakened to find yourself at the bottom of a well that you apparently have fallen into. There's plenty of water, you're knee deep in it, and a voice from above booms aloud that food will be delivered so long as, "It puts the lotion on its skin!"
And in a manner of speaking, following an "Internet century" (think, 'dog years') of a #dystopian #feudal Institution where Homo sapien drones existing in #Lords_and_Vassals lockstep, told what to think, how to believe, where to shit, and when to wake up and punch the time clock, had completely replaced the actually extinct human race... Well?...
Fast forwarding to the scene where...
Some awkward little child in a dimly candlelit bedroom, many children, truth be told, consumed with the dreams of, and empowered with an obsessive belief that, a world where real, unique and independently diverse human beings actually existed, grew up and many years later rediscovered that they really did still walk the earth.
Kinda like the true story of the Takahē. And we too, are beautiful.
I'm leaving the rest for you to discover for yourselves, and look forward to many discussions on this invigorating topic. In the meantime, you can follow:

He's just taking out the trash right now. A lot like Castro did in the 70's.
That will all eventually settle down, with the majority of those participating in the knee-jerk reaction of the #mob_mentality eventually returning...
They've been subjugated as the downtrodden and insignificant chattel of those deprecated, privacy disrespecting, legacy monolithic silos. The #addiction is strong within them and they've been #assimilated by the prettiness of the #Darkside, lolz.
Many will however, choose to stay, enjoying the unbroken promises of #freedom and safety from being weighed, measured, butchered, packaged, and placed into inventory on the shelves of #Faceplant, #Twatter, #InstaSPAM, and other #deprecated_legacy_silos.
Many more will remain here while at the same time cave to the sinister beckonings of those evil mistresses, but at least they'll have one foot 🦶 here in the pasture of green 💚
For those of us that have been in this free space for the past 5 or 6 years, all we can do is welcome them back from the #Borg Collective and try to support their best inclinations as best we can.
The ultimate test of their commitment to protect the ownership of their #intellectual_property, privacy, and #identity is a matter they will ultimately have to decide the importance of for themselves.
Ask the best!
