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.

China blocks Meta’s $2B Manus deal after months-long probe, TechCrunch. I don’t know what are the geopolitical implications of this news, but it’s funny to see Meta in such a mess.

New Google app icons, 9to5Google. The leaked icons have a Microsoft vibe, but at least they use distinct colors, putting an end to the sameness of the current icons that makes them extremely hard to tell apart.

WordPress 7.0 will be released on May 20, The Repository. The troubled upcoming WordPress update, which will feature real-time collaboration and support for AI connectors, has been given a new release date after being postponed to accommodate the AI connectors, which project leader Matt Mullenweg decided to include in the roadmap very late, following the release of the RC1.

Notepad++ for macOS. A developer has ported the venerated Windows code editor to macOS. It’s very similar to the original, including plugin support and the outdated default icon set.

Banjo: Recompiled. A native port of the Nintendo 64 game Banjo-Kazooie for computers (Linux, macOS, and Windows). Free and FOSS.

picoCAD 2. An accessible (in the sense of easy-to-use) tool for creating 3D models, textures, and animations. Free, for Windows and macOS.
