What makes it work for you?

Earthbound!

It gets better and better 😉

Car mechanic simulator 2021. Good for zenning out with a podcast and it has taught me a tiny bit about cars (I know nothing about them). 🙂

Wait, he actually did something good?

CW2 was my favorite!

Personally, I detest achievements and wish I could easily turn it all off from steam entirely.

They look good then and now!

Congrats on your new love!

It’s subjective. Remember that not everyone shares the same opinion 🙂

I think it was a joke 🙂

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 don’t put much stock in antivirus companies or their products, personally. They may be one of the better ones of the bunch, I don’t know.

Azire is great, they just dont have port forwarding. For that reason I use airvpn witch is okay too.

[edit] whoa, just noticed they got bought by malwarebytes. There goes that recommendation.

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.

Glorious build up to a “fucked yo mama” joke. Excellent pacing!

Well said.

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.
