I recently fell into internet comics from the early 2000s. Stuff like Absurd Notions, Sluggy Freelance, and Freefall

It might be fine for local[1] multiplexing but over the network it is not as fast as even something like VNC or RDP.
kind of. There are two things that often happen if people don't integrate, mostly wrt company culture:
1. The newbies don't integrate because they have created their own culture because either they don't realize that they are excluded from the "adults table" (different departments, etc) or that their experiences interacting with the existing hierarchy makes them want to reject the existing culture. They surround the "core" even though they may not often interact with it (and maybe management realizes this but most often not). Maybe they do some shadow IT but the projects that they work on are not core to the business because they are locked out from those systems and the work that they do is seen as useless because it is never integrated (maybe their code kind of sucks because they don't get mentorship, etc). The core is mostly untouched by the social group(s) that surround it. The different social groups are not as rigid as departments but if the core has any legitimate power the non-complaint people are usually shuffled around. Some people in the "wrong-group" may learn to respect the existing culture and they are promoted into the sacrosanct.
2. Similar to #1 except that the newbies are better at self-marketing or socializing with management and eventually the core culture is entirely replaced by the newer culture. The business allows this, even perhaps risking business continuity, because they start to see the old clique as stubborn, not inclusive, not open to change or suggestions, perhaps even a liability to the company.
This happens with open source projects as well

But I'm not aware of what the equivalent would be for Amazon-type casting
I wrote a wrapper around catt for playing music to my house speaker-groups. It also works with video but I don't cast video as often so that part might be buggy--in that case better to use catt directly

Doc: And in the future, we don't need horses. We have motorized carriages called automobiles.
Jeb: If everybody's got one of these auto-whatsits, does anybody walk or run anymore?
Doc: Of course we run. But for recreation. For fun.
Jeb: Run for fun? What the hell kind of fun is that?
I have a lot of ideas for new ones, for example, I want a CLI that can take an artist name like "Theodor Kittelsen" and fetch highest quality public domain images--but I realize any implementation that does this well will be somewhat fragile so I haven't really attempted that yet. Other ideas that I have are often solved by piping output from one of my existing commands to another or adding some optional args to an existing command.

AN AUDIOBLOGGING MANIFESTO
Transcribed from http://www.idlewords.com/audio/manifesto.mp3
As broadband expands and as blogging tools become easier to use, a world
of temptations has opened up to the online writer. The latest of these has
been audioblogging, or posting snippets of speech. Videoblogging is
following on its heels.
At first blush, audioblogging sounds like a natural extension of online
writing. What better way to convey your own ideas than through your
own words, spoken in your own voice? Bloggers like Halley Suitt
(http://halleyscomment.blogspot.com), Dave Winer
(http://www.scripting.com), and Adam Curry (http://live.curry.com) have
taken this idea and run with it, mixing frequent audio posts with their
text content. In the highest-profile audio blog post to date, Winer
even announced the cancellation of a blog hosting service - affecting
hundreds of users - in a ten minute audio file (you can hear it at
http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/blogs/gems/crimson1/aboutWeblogsComHosting.mp3).
But before you jump on the audioblogging bandwagon, remember this - the
power of the Web is the power to choose. You make your own trails, and
your own links. You read what you like and skip the boring bits. And
audioblogging takes that power of choice away. Your listeners become a
passive audience - they have no power to skim, they can't skip the
boring parts, they can't link or excerpt your post effectively. Your
post becomes invisible to Google and other search engines. And anyone
who has a hearing problem, or a dialup account, or doesn't speak your
language too well, anyone who is trying to surf your site from the office,
or from an Internet cafe - well, they're just plain out of luck.
Consider also this - the average person speaks at one hundred, perhaps
one hundred fifty words per minute. Meanwhile, an accomplished reader
can read ten times faster - up to a thousand words a minute, and that's
straight-up reading, not even skimming. You're forcing people to listen
to you at a speed that's barely faster than the speed at which they can
type. Why are you wasting their time? Is your voice really that
beautiful?
From the invention of the alphabet, to movable metal type, to the advent of
cheap paper, universal mandatory public education, universal literacy,
the Internet - the modern world has built on the back of text! This is
not by accident! This is not a mistake!
Ask yourself - is the key to making your site more interesting really to
add rich media? Or is it possible that if you took more care in your
writing, said something passionate, grammatical, interesting, and pleasant to
read, it would actually make more of a difference?
Henry David Thoreau said "Our inventions are wont to be pretty toys, which
distract our attention from serious things. They are but improved means
to an unimproved end... We are in great haste to construct a magnetic
telegraph from Maine to Texas; but Maine and Texas, it may be, have
nothing important to communicate"
So what do you have to communicate?
Thoreau may not have been a big fan of technology, but we can still read
him one and a half centuries later and be pulled in by his beautiful
prose style. Is your audio post going to stand the test of time?
Brothers and sisters, we deserve better than this, and those whom we write for
deserve better. This is not what we built the web for! For the first
time in human history, you can have anything you write read by millions
of people, whether within days or within hours, and all it takes is
talent, imagination and the discipline to put up something worth
reading. There are no obstacles anymore - so why must we create new
ones? Just because you're going to be able to do a real-time three
dimensional high-definition interactive virtual reality fly-through of
the inside of your cat - does that mean you should? Does that mean it
belongs on your website? This is not the legacy we want to leave!
So stop the ridiculous self indulgence, and shut up and write.
And if you want a copy of this without having to listen through it, by God
you can find one at http://www.idlewords.com/audio-manifesto.txt.
