This looks like it might be a handy extension. A VirusTotal Chrome extension. Imagine it will work in BRAVE too. I'll have to see if they did one for Firefox. Hopefully 🤞

@farooqkz Must have misread it. Thought it said less than 1Gb. ;-) You're right, it is enough!

We should be worried, because some folks think a limited nuclear war is possible and winnable. It isn't!!

A nuclear war simulation shows the devastation we could face if one country pulls the trigger

@icedquinn

Not sure who this is addressed to, but not I, am retired.

@freemo

@freemo Oh for sure, just one tool in a developer's toolbox eh?! 🙂

@icedquinn
I really liked BeOS it was a fantastic desktop operating system.

@freemo

@icedquinn
Think so, if you're referring to Display Postscript.

@freemo

@freemo Cool! Is it available publicly on the web?
