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!

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!

Poor Clint… That must have been heartbreaking to see.

User choice is great and all but it comes at a cost. They could be using the engineering power and time to work more on steamos

I’ve not heard of that before. That’s insane.
