Hear hear. I think it was Chomsky that said something like “we should all be celebrating tax day; that we don’t speaks volumes”

Yeah, this is something else to read.

Remember the phrase “if everywhere you go smells like shit…”

Wait, he actually did something good?

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

I’ve had a pleasant experience with my anker dock and tcl TV. My only issue is that the resolution upgrade can make the performance worse depending on the game.

Indeed. I exclusively used gog for many years and have since given up. Steam is so much better and actually makes Linux a platform to play on.

spec ops the line (just kidding)

I’m imagining someone cozying up with a blanket, a lap kitty, some tea, and the horrors of mankind.

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

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’ve found the deck magnification shortcut to be unhelpful when I’ve used it - often because the resolution of the text isn’t high enough for it to look legible when blown up.

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.

I paired both my phone and earbuds to the deck and the phone’s audio was super choppy. It behaved better when in the deck’s options menus but it was still bad. 🤔

No way, that’s awesome!

On an only-slightly related note, I knew someone that synced their git repos on nextcloud as well. Surprisingly, no shit hit the fan. This went on for a good long time.

Yeah, not fond of nearly all of them. I find the pink fairly nice (wish it were more desaturated and had no texture) and the gradiented one pleasant. But neither would I trip over to get.

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.

That might be an appealing retro aesthetic to have!
