I thought the rainbow was supposed to mean it encompassed everyone.

The colours on the flag apparently weren’t sufficiently inclusive so perhaps this should be the next flag:

France to ban smoking outdoors in most places to protect children in c/[email protected]

The prolific smoking in France really hits home for me when I was subjected to a cloud of smoke on a train platform. I can’t remember the last time my personal space was so violated waiting for a train.

PhotoPrism vs Apple Photos currently? (aussie.zone)
 

So the final thing tethering me to macOS is Apple Photos, which is really a fantastic program.

PhotoPrism looks like it’s improving quickly, but I was curious to know how it’s going today with regards to:

  • Search filters
    • Date
    • Place
    • Object/person recognition
    • Text recognition
  • Live Photo support
  • Ease of importing
  • Album support, including smart albums
  • Built-in touch ups
  • General stability

SOLVED: Help me find the name of a movie (aussie.zone)

SOLVED: it’s Antitrust! Thanks everyone!

It’s a tech related movie came out probably early 2000s.

Bits I remember:

  • A group of home brew coders watches a webinar of some large software company.
  • One of them gets hired by the company to work on a large project
  • The project is supposed to enable content delivery/streaming while overcoming bandwidth constraints, but they’re stuck in development
  • Main character is working on the project and is making headway but discovers something nefarious might be going on in the company
  • He checks around the place and realises a large mouse sculpture in the company campus playground is actually a hidden satellite
  • Using a computer in the children’s daycare room he uncovers the conspiracy
  • He manages to finish off the project, and the company thinks everything is fine
  • The tech company tests the system and it works perfectly broadcasting everywhere.
  • But the guy uses this test to present a montage of all the evidence of the conspiracy. Also uploads the project source code
  • Company CEO gets arrested or something, everyone lives happily ever after.
