I'm excited to release Just the Browser! It helps you remove AI features, sponsored content, shopping integrations, and other annoyances from desktop web browsers.
This project includes configuration files (group policies), a simple setup script, and guides for manual installation. It supports Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. Everything is open-source on GitHub.

Apple discontinued its iWeb website creator over a decade ago, and I thought it was time for a revisit! I made a website with iWeb and checked how it stacked up against modern websites. #apple #mac #retrocomputing #webdev

Hey Linux people: is there a good GUI app for making bootable Linux USB drives so I don't have to use the dd command? Ideally something available on most distributions. #linux #foss

Remember this the next time Boston Dynamics posts a cute video of its robot dogs dancing. Tech media outlets boosting those videos and other PR moves aren’t off the hook, either.

GIMP 3.0 is finally out, but the name still needs to be changed. No, it’s not just an acronym. #linux #foss

Yeah that one can definitely go, but still probably more useful than Apple Intellgence™️

Compared to the iPhone 16, the iPhone 16E is $200 less has:
- No ultra-wide camera (0.5x), macro photography mode, or spatial photos/video
- No MagSafe support, just non-magnetic Qi charging
- No touch controls on the Action button
- Apple's in-house C1 modem that has not proven itself yet
- No mmWave 5G
- Wi-Fi 6 instead of Wi-Fi 7
- No Dynamic Island and slightly bigger bezels
Am I missing anything? Why would anyone get this over a discounted iPhone 15? AI is not a phone seller.

I don't know where a $600 iPhone 16E makes sense in a world where last year's flagship iPhones are frequently on sale for that price or lower, especially through carriers. No MagSafe is especially bizarre, and we don't know yet if Apple's modems are any good. https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2025/02/apple-debuts-iphone-16e-a-powerful-new-member-of-the-iphone-16-family/

Someone tell the kids Mastodon is a Chinese app. We can still win this.

Someone was able to hijack a subdomain on my personal website to host a gambling website landing page, presumably because I left it forwarding to GitHub, and GitHub allowed someone else to connect it after I deleted the repository. Check your domains! #webdev #infosec

The new ImageShare is out! It's the best way to share images and videos from low-end and legacy devices, supporting browsers as old as Netscape 4.0 and Internet Explorer 5. It also has game title detection for images from the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U.

I set up a mid-2010 Mac Mini as the perfect 'retro' Mac, with a super-fast OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard installation for running PowerPC and early Intel apps, and a hacked macOS 14 Sonoma partition for newer software.
It was a fun project and I'm super happy with how it turned out! #mac #apple #retrocomputing

It's pretty cool that the Nintendont homebrew app can not only load GameCube games from a USB drive on my Wii, but also emulate a GameCube controller with a Classic Controller through a Wii Remote. I can play local multiplayer GC games even though I only have one real GC controller! #wii #nintendo #retrogaming

Future consolidating more of its media brands, this time it's iMore that takes the hit. 😕

This morning, dozens of tech and game publications covered the "new Flappy Bird" game, many of them repeating the new developer's claim that the original developer Dong Nguyen allowed it. There's no evidence that's true, and you should not download the new Flappy Bird. #gaming

It seems like Mastodon ran out of chances to be the mass-appeal Twitter alternative. Brazil is (probably) about to ban Twitter, and Bluesky is seeing record-level signups: https://bsky.app/profile/pfrazee.com/post/3l2xupwbsfy2f
Meanwhile, there’s no real change in the rate of new Mastodon accounts. #fediverse #mastodon https://mastodon.social/@mastodonusercount/113053453865082420

The Barbie Phone is better than modern smartphones because it has a microSD card slot, FM radio, user-removable battery, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
