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.

Reminds me of Brandalism

Here’s an example!

It’s also a surveillance state at this point.

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!

A reverse image search suggests that it’s Lauren Marx:

Poor Clint… That must have been heartbreaking to see.

Here ya go!

What, you don’t want .sucks and .rocks and .store and .baboon and .hummus and…?

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

Either word works. It’s hyper-specific but I would say that most people would say “rung” in reference to the physical part of the ladder while “step” would be the part of the ladder they were on.

Again, either word works fine and nobody would bat an eye if either were used.

Good question!
