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.

GNOME 50 “Tokyo”. One of the most feature-packed updates in recent memory, with support for “fractional scaling” and variable screen refresh rates, new parental controls, various accessibility improvements, and a comprehensive file annotation system *.pdf in the Document Viewer (Papers) app.

Death to Scroll Fade!. He could have just used “lorem ipsum” to make his point. Web designers of the world, listen to this man.

Obsidian’s “Reading Mode.” Obsidian’s Web Clipper extension got a new feature that redesigns a web page to make reading easier. (Several browsers offer this natively.) I liked the look. To use “reader mode,” you don’t need to have Obsidian installed on your computer or phone.

Fedora Asahi Remix 43. The Linux distro for M-series Macs has gotten a major update, with support for the Mac Pro and additional features on the MacBook Pro M2 Pro/Max, as well as major updates to core components of Fedora, such as RPM 6.0 and DNF5.

Moody. Another ingenious use for the notch on recent MacBooks: as a teleprompter. (Too bad the app is so pricey.)

Aeris. A beautiful, real-time visualization of commercial flights. Unlike other apps and sites of its kind, this one is “3D” in the sense that you can see the altitude of the aircraft.
