As of late, it is not really know what is beyond the pale
for lack of generous funding in libre software.
Looks like state sponsored activity is on the rise.
One could wish for more openness also about the process,
as it proven difficult to secure such funding.
Don’t be shy. If you are a small to medium sized nation with aspirations
to have everyone talking about your efforts, get in touch.
It takes you in with the new and out with the same old.
]]>These many tiered approaches in some respects represent where any project is at in the scheme of things, as compared to other offerings. Any past where the original timeline wasn’t made and doesn’t now continue being sold would not pave the way for what is truly underestimated.
When thinking of what one doesn’t get elsewhere, it is also something to be kept in mind for what “the product” is as something different to what is available. The extreme of one common power metric often doesn’t make for a good tool everywhere, because as only counterproductive — it is something otherwise offered better elsewhere. Compromises similarly do exist. Hand in as much freedom as you like.
The best camera is the one you have in your hands. Meanwhile most expensive cameras and heavy lenses are producing negative space in some drawer, producing no greater imagery and imagination than realizing it shouldn’t be there. Before it could sit there dormant for a while without issue, but a user-problem isn’t really solved by having to empty the shelves for new wares every so evermore often.
What a great proposal for one more, or the generic plural mantra of “new product”. Starting with full shelves with this one, emptying them should bring some level of nostalgia at best. Throwing away the smart toaster is a duty to fulfil life like it did in the commercial nobody wanted to see for the tenth time. Despite more venues of input, more things promising to bring about a new age is something that will be typed about in public for years to come. You will eat the smartest toast, and have smart thoughts. “What a time to be alive”, you will not think to yourself, as repeated by staff at the behest of corporate policy at the onset of your indulgence.
The distance is closed for when there is time already killed in for example transporting oneself somewhere at the helm, joystick, autopilot, or wheel of someone else. Maybe you will even be a good product for a good hour or two? Oh, but the battery lasts longer, yes. Sometimes an “emergency” as measured by relative escape from society occurs. Then it may be your only hope in fending off loosened elective mind-control. How often? Less often than not aimlessly trying to recharge after every futile use one could be permitted to think. For every hour typed away, there are minutes and sanity spared in not trying to make it a continuous two. For all sanity lost, time spent ceases to control anything of value. Your private thoughts can not be stripped from you if you become the cloud.
It is one thing to envision a conceptual idea of utility, but rather another to have albeit at a price-premium, to be a still approachable embodiment of product placement. This is the new old. It is meant to get old. This is how it used to be. You can get “the future” if you want to. The future is “a word inserted”, and that word is “bleak” as far as I can tell. Bleak.
The fourth wall sells you this idea for free: How much would someone have to care about their users to do this? Surely the big players are not going in the totally opposite direction, together? After all it says moral purchases from them create of you an ecosystem of greater repairability, less surveillance, more freedom, and fewer things focused on passive consumption rather than creative space and output? It must be true.
Granted, you are already here, but where along the way marches your tech-support for your current (ensnaring) circle? Fridge says “No”? New computer is as soulless as its intentions? Faucet knows about your wireless network and your online purchase history? “New thing bad, new thing bad” you scream, and the rotating soup stirrer listens.
They are all waiting for it. It is about that time — the incentive to start, continue or increase doing something. Measured use of a personal computer is required for anything that can call itself a person, which at that can point out its non-inherent but bundled flaws in maybe such a way as to appear truly human.
For any problem worth your time so much so that you aren’t getting rid of it, the stuff outside of the box your problem is or came in always works better.
Buy, (buy, buy) this computer, and let your cat play with the packaging if you want to know how to use it.

Existing is a tragedy of correlated success. Might as-well play to the
gallery of conditions for it, as even at at a total loss the game continues.
If you are having to use macOS you obviously can’t do anything about
the direct and immediate threat of physical harm allowing this to happen.
There is however always something to done.
Sartre, despite not being a German, tried to do philosophy.
He proposed that the most free condition of freedom exists locked down
in the total absence of real-world choice.
Maybe Remmina can entice people to erode whatever consistency there
is in this macOS-level of thinking? In turn it might even be fully
replaced by valid thoughts, charitably changing conditions.
Consider the first full step away from the wrong direction.
Merry Yuletide to all, local and downstream JSONS.

but this is Tanaka. Notice how it is almost the same.

Yes, a cover band has taken over the player 1 controller for Remmina!
With that, the gnomes are defeated for now.
Thank you to everyone sending nice messages and coins to collect.
Doing things right is somehow antithetical to most of what happens in technology.
Despite that, it can only seem fitting for Fastly to find it within reason
to support Remmina with this grant.
Thank you.
From the wealth of projects operating on things other than direct profitability,
it is still a bold move to pick Remmina.
As now a program within a program, encompassing shared values is what ties
the room together. No (more) less, no less(oned more)?
Remmina has no rugs to pull, but it does have the integrity of positioning
itself with users in mind.
This is somehow an open crevasse to transpire.
For something to remain open, it can’t be a door…
At the other side of it there are overworked individuals spread very thin
in furnishing the door frame.
“This is my (temporary) hole in the wall”, they say.
For any wall that anyone could and would want to put up for other reasons,
it is a door that can become more wall, because that key exists.
The paradoxical ability to be, rather than to remain open pertains to more open
(for everyone to do anything) only adds the potential of less open for everyone as a
product of lowered entropy.
Openness is only a safety-net as an enshrining cover of effort all the way down,
rather than a foundation to build openness atop.
Copyleft (however) in any of its forms doesn’t guarantee there will be anything to
remain in place or even exist in and of itself, but in its guaranteed openness it
must bring down what are then natural and existing obstacles to exist.
Anything not more easily navigated around becomes a wall easier to scale, downwards.
If that leaves you with nothing left in a downfallen commons, it is however rock-solid.
Whether it slips through the cracks or welcomes itself in at the door-hole
is rather irrelevant in the pursuit of lowering the barrier to entry.
If tackling the problems of the world isn’t a sustainable venture, those are acceptable terms.
]]>As you might have noticed, the project is stagnating. There’s a main reason for that, and the reason is me.
I no longer have time to track GTK advancements, for which we need to rewrite most of the Remmina code base. Additionally, I don’t use that much Remmina, as my job role is evolving. Lastly, I lose interest in using GTK.
Giovanni, like me, is extremely busy with his job, and while we could submit some fixes from time to time, we cannot assure anymore the level of support we provided previously.
Therefore, we are looking for new maintainers, and in the meantime, we will remove some functionalities that cost us money (and/or time).
In the coming weeks and months, you will get some new Remmina releases where we will remove these functions:
Further changes will be required in the long run if we do not find a new maintainer.
In Q4 2023, the GitLab Premium subscription will expire, so we will be shutting down the CI/CD pipelines. The big issue with this is that the SNAP package will not be built and released anymore, so, if you care, take this announcement seriously.;-)
Obviously we are always open for discussion, so don’t hesitate to reach out and have a chat with us.
Any volunteers?
