    Wrote a positive comment on Remmina as an alternative to Remote Desktop Connection

    I've been using Remote Desktop Connection (Manager) for years as a Windows user. Remmina seems like the most popular alternative for Linux, and honestly, it works. The interface isn't quite as simple as it seems to support a lot more, but I had it up and running in a couple of minutes.

    I've used this for years and generally recommend it.

    Unfortunately it's getting a little bit buggy on Windows (10) as it's fallen out of support. It mostly still works but it doesn't scale well on larger screens and maybe every 3 months it forgets the preferences I have for it.

    Still a good program and it's nice that it runs cross platform, but I've just switched to PowerToys Run which seems to have similar functionality: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/run

    My first thought was that it must be mining crypto with your phone in the background, by requiring you to keep the app open when going for a walk, that seems unlikely though.

    They're very likely just selling your location data to advertisers and paying you Sweatcoins to make up for it.

    A $50 NIKE Gift card requiring 3,650 sweatcoins equals 12.1 months of walking, or one year.

    Great to see, that unlimited private repositories are now included in the free plan!

    Commented on Clover

    Version 3.0.0 has gotten quite buggy for me lately (making it impossible for me to open up the start menu once Clover has started).

    Maybe the newer versions are better.
