Which software should I choose for remote desktop?
Hello everyone,
I'd like to set up remote desktop for the work computer of a relative of mine (Her employer gave me permission to do so).
I am unsure about the best way to go:
- Should I try to enable port forwarding on the router, make them choose a strong password, and use the built-in Windows service?
- Or is it better to use a free (as in price) external program?
My main candidate was Rustdesk, but after a bit of searching I found some controversies, what do you think about it?
If necessary I can resort to a closed-source solution.
Thanks to you all in advance.

My wife is an ex-Muslim, she was pretty active in the ex-Muslim community for many years, and she says she could smell it on this guy. She then went on to explain that ex-Muslims, especially from Muslim countries, tend to either go one of two ways: they either go agnostic and struggle through that, or they tilt hard into Zionism. She didn't really have an explanation for the Zionism path, but she's seen it a lot.
Guess which way she thinks he went?
They go the path of Zionism bc they think it will make them more palatable and accepted amongst xenophobes.
Those types hate themselves for not being white, and they absolutely hate others who are happy to not be white.
I went down the agnostic path of ex-muslims. Zionist ones are the most depraved, racist people I've met and seen. Thank god I didn't go down that route lol 🥲
They're racist to their own people too, they want to be white so badly.

Urgency to Switch from Windows 10 Builds
The openSUSE Project is part of a growing coalition of open-source advocates urging Microsoft users to install a Linux operating system as Microsoft prepares to end support for Windows 10 this October, and urgency to get that message out is building.Some in the IT industry are suggesting that as many as 50 percent of the devices remain using Windows 10, which comes at great risk to users and businesses.
Those who remain on Windows 10 and don’t upgrade to an operating system providing security and maintenance updates like a Linux OS or Window 11 will be susceptible to vulnerabilities, malware infections, software incompatibilities, and an increasing amount of system instability and failures over time.
The End of 10 campaign and its initiative aims to promote migration-focused type events to help these users shift from Windows 10 to Linux-based operating systems.
The amount of PCs that will become unprotected on October 14 is unprecedented, and getting people to migrate to Linux operating systems like openSUSE’s is reaching a critical juncture as millions face the looming deadline this Fall.
October 14 is just 12 weeks away and the end-of-support deadline for Windows 10 will expose those who have not migrated to increasing cyber threats.
In additions to the the threats, a big part of the End of 10 movement emphasizes environmental responsibility, digital sustainability and long-term cost savings for those with aging computers that could potentially end up recycled or in landfill.
End of 10 advocates and supporting organizations like NextCloud, REPAIR CAFE, KDE, GNOME, FSFE, EU OS and several other organizations would prefer users find a Linux solution for their older hardware rather than have this event create an environmental disaster. Installing Linux on these old systems can breathe new life into perfectly functional machines that may otherwise be discarded.
Several open-source software projects and organizations and been collaborating for more than a year to create unified resources, tutorials, migration tools and support channels to help lower the barrier to entry for those who seek to install a Linux new operating system.
Members of the openSUSE community and others have been vocal about appealing to Windows 10 users that can’t upgrade their devices to Windows 11.
For those ready to act, the campaign website has resources available and links to community events to help people install Linux.
Anyone who wants to install an openSUSE distribution can follow this A Step-by-Step Guide.
The message to Windows 10 users is clear; don’t replace your computer; reimagine it!

[🇬🇧UK] Open Rights Group calls for age assurance industry to be regulated
- Government must regulate age assurance providers to protect users’ privacy and security as digital platforms start to implement Online Safety Act.
- Users are given no choice over how they verify age, with platforms such as Reddit, Bluesky and Grindr choosing providers with problematic privacy policies.
- Data protection law is not enough to protect users.
- There are growing threats to free expression, as platforms increasingly place features and content, such as direct messaging behind age gates, going beyond the Act’s intended focus on restricting access to adult content.
Open Rights Group has warned of serious privacy and security risks for people in the UK as online platforms start to ask users to verify their age, as required by the Online Safety Act. There are also freedom of expression harms as platforms require age verification to access features and content.
