Links of the Day
I collect cool, interesting links spread all over the web and share them here in daily posts. Hope you enjoy! More of them in the archive.
Microsoft quietly scraps plans to bring Copilot to notifications and Settings on Windows 11, Windows Central. “Boss, people are saying they don’t like spoiled food. What do we do?” “Change the name to just ‘food,’ without the ‘spoiled,’ and keep serving the same slop.”
I tested Firefox’s new AI “smart window” in beta, Omg! Ubuntu. Yeah… it looks like the home screens of “AI browsers” like Comet (Perplexity) and Atlas (OpenAI). It’s fascinating how much time, resources, and manpower Mozilla spends to reinvent the wheel (and it still comes out a bit square). Since it’s in beta, things may change before the official release.
GIMP 3.2. The main new features in the first update of the 3.x series are “link layers” (equivalent to Photoshop’s “smart objects”) and the creation of vector layers. Free, FOSS, available for Linux, macOS, and Windows.
Marknote 1.5. This Markdown editor from the KDE project skipped 2025, but has already received two major updates in 2026. It looks great for those running KDE Plasma.
“Hello, world”, @Gargron@mastodon.social. Exactly ten years ago, the first post ever was published on Mastodon.
AltStore on the fediverse. AltStore, an alternative app store for iOS, is on the fediverse. Apps, including updates and news, can be shared across the fediverse, and users can view Fediverse likes directly in AltStore, as well as connect their Mastodon or Bluesky accounts to like apps without leaving the store app.
Just the Article Please. Paste the URL of a post/article/text and this site, as the name suggests, returns only the text.
Cool Stuff. We’re being pretty literal today. A page with… cool stuff, organized in a mosaic of images.
