1 commit. A whole repo. You guess.
2.2k stars
It really beg on me the question "how did they even get this much star"

"You can buy comments and accounts nowadays.", too, including Lemmy, I believe, but sources of such claims are usually less "buyable", even if it's known and sure possible.
Sorry, but nowadays indeed, with so many fake, fast, and sorrowful, it's better to share sources, indeed.

I updated my monitor firmware with a program that did something like this.
Sending files between radio’d devices remains the most hideously bad application versus the level of technology we are on.
I mean it's probably the most secure way to send data between two devices.
i'm partial to localsend but this is still one or two steps above sending it to a server hundreds of km away then back, which is what the norm is.
So QR code ? Xd
Imagine the prompt injection attacks you could do if people actually used this.
