Turn off clipboard sharing, use a config file, and barrier works well on most systems.

Way too much BS to get it running though.




It works until it doesn't. And clipboard sharing is "essential" to me. Wrt/ clipboard sharing, yes, I could work around not having it available but that's 50% of why I use it in the first place and as I said everything worked absolutely as expected in the olden days. Yet another tech that has only gotten worse over the last decate, similar to the shit show that instant messaging has become. I miss the times where I could run a well-integrated multi-protocol chat client on all of my computers regardless of OS which required basically no RAM or CPU usage to chat with all my contacts regardless of what protocol they used. Now it's mostly Electron crap eye candy taking too much resources by a factor of >100 and way too much screen estate. It's simply not practical anymore. "Things were better before" is in 99% of cases a factually untrue, romanticized view on the past, but sometimes it's objectively true, and in rare cases like IM there are serious negative effects on my personal quality of life that I cannot fix on my end because the system itself is broken.
