Gruvbox, the greatest colorscheme to grace this earth!

Wait, he actually did something good?

Be careful, you might get pulled over for doing kph instead of mph in the US.

Holy shit, well done!

For those unaware, it’s an adaptation of Deus Ex’s intro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zStn70Ot4r0

To be fair, he broke and entered a networking closet as well. But I guess that is a separate issue.

It’s genious.

Even today I see many bemoaning the GDPR’s “onerous” obligations. Data just isn’t seen like the nuclear waste it is, sadly.

Goebbels would be proud.

I imagine they will inevitably enshittify since the buyout but they seem to be good still for now.

The nice thing is I get to download the files so I’m not fucked when it happens.

Thanks for showing, I didn’t know about that. Proprietary, of course…

You have to pair first. Then you have to troubleshoot because Bluetooth isn’t very good. And then you get slow transfer rates.

With airdrop you literally open it up, find the person, then drop it. No pairing, no bullshit. It just works and you get on with your life.

It’s very, very useful for people to share videos instantly. For instance, someone takes a video at the end of a dance class and then sends it to the teacher for them to post online after. Or two people want to practice something so they record a small thing and send to the other person. It’s seamless and really quick.

Android users end up having to wait for someone to upload to e.g. Dropbox and then share a link.

I’ll be honest, I was not gonna be surprised if he had done that.

Well said.

I know it’s totally subjective, but I wonder how much “non-trash” YouTube is uploaded each day?

This was the website that pfsense maintainers made as soon as OPNsense was announced. They sniped the name, derided the project and only ended up handing over the domain after they were legally compelled to.

One person affiliated with Netgate in particular can be seen around forums and social media and has serious axes to grind. He’s… not pleasant.

Add to that Netgate’s practices (IIRC secret proprietary blob required to build pfsense, double-check that fact / unremovable installation tracking) and the picture painted is one of petulance and anger.

[edit] oh yeah, and this gem! https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/03/buffer-overruns-license-violations-and-bad-code-freebsd-13s-close-call/

Second OPNsense. pfSense also is maintained by some pretty shitty individuals.
