Skip writing .DS_Store to removable media

Macs write the .DS_Store file everywhere . If you are sharing files or saving them in git repos, you might like to prevent it from generating them:

defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores -bool TRUE

Mostly it just contains extended attributes so not something that's needed when say uploading to github.
