By desktop do you mean the jitsi call widget thing? Instead of the native call support that I believe element x uses?

Do the voice call and video features work with continuwuity?

Seems interesting, some problems I see. The author seems to have forgotten that not everywhere has surnames and some places have multiple surnames. Would have been better to just have a “name field”. Would make this more universal.

The idea would be two monitors, keyboard, and mice connected to one PC so two people could play games on the same beefy computer at the same time. To avoid issues with steam detecting another instance running, it would be great if the two users were isolated from each other in some way. Also ideally avoiding the need to purchase a second beefy GPU. So PCI-passthrough is out, as you’re giving exclusive access to the GPU in the VM (some GPU support virtualization, but my 9070 xt does not). My understanding is that multi-seat as described here for systemd https://wiki.debian.org/Multi_Seat_Debian_HOWTO should be able to do this as you can have two user logged in at the same time, but this require each seat to have its own dedicated GPU for display. The docs from debian seem to suggest the DRI_PRIME may still work to use the other GPU. I am curious if anyone has tried this before and knows if it works I go around buying a cheap secondary GPU.

VNC seems like an interesting idea, I wonder what the latency would be like for

How do you do it with x? I would be interested in looking at this.

I think in theory it could be done in Wayland if a compositor implements multi-seat support. There is a fork of wlroots & labwc in this repo that seems like it’s trying to do that https://github.com/garlett/multiseat

This is on /c/Foss so I assume the OP was asking about Foss options for translation.

It’s unfortunate that sweden decided to lock 2FA behind proprietary smartphone apps.

For every country its going to be a different story. I think instead of trying to build an app ecosystem for things like bank apps on linux it would be easier for citizens of those countries to convince the government / banks to allow other 2FA methods like OTPs that can work on any a device using an OTP client. That would honestly benefit more people as whole since they wouldn’t be lock down to just Android/Apple or even owning a smartphone. They could do all their important government/finance stuff just with a computer.

Why can’t we just use banking websites? You don’t need an app ecosystem for that. They just need to build a responsive website that will work on a computer or phone. If you have bank to bank transfer (like e-transfer in Canada) that can be done from the mobile website as well.

Payment like NFC payment is a different story. I suspect its unlikely we ever see that.

I’m not sure if you can do it without authenticating on the remote. Have you seen sshuttle? Maybe you can run that on the remote to connect to the local machine. If the issue is that the remote “can’t see” the local machine to ssh into it then you could try something like reverse tunnel the ssh port to the remote, and then use sshuttle to connect to the local port that is forwarding traffic.
