This is not shameless plug, this is very late plug considering Jan 1st is less than 24 hours away. Should've done it faster, never heard of this until now.

  They've been plugging it elsewhere for quite some time now.

  So you're saying they should be ashamed... of not promoting it sooner? ;)

      Has it occurred to you that perhaps this is just the first time YOU are seeing it and that the person you are being rude to isn’t a complete idiot?

Awesome. I just forwarded this urgently, possibly ruining some people's plans for Saturday. :)

Very cool project! Louis is one of my favorite youtubers. One catch on the site is no definition of FUTO? I looked all over and couldn't find out what the acronym (?) means. Future Use Tech Org? Fun Under The Orange?

  I'm hoping it's recursive. FUTO Updates The Organization or something

  According to Rossmann's FAQ[1] it's 'supposedly "four letters that sound good together".......'. Someone did also add an entry on Urban Dictionary[2] defining it as "Fuck You, Tech Oligopoly"; seems that's the closest we're gonna get to an answer for now...
