I was honestly surprised the University of Minnesota didn’t part ways with the teacher and students who performed this bullshit research.

This level of malfeasance strikes me as something akin to plagiarism for a professional writer.

This is retroactive ass covering by the UMN IRB.

I wondered when Apple was going to do this. Seemed inevitable when Final Cut Pro on the iPad had a subscription, I think.

I hope I can still use the non subscription version of Pixelmator pro I bought

This rebrand will be liked less than when Gap, Cracker Barrel and Jaguar introduced new logos.

At this rate I wouldn’t put it past MSFT to rename the company and all products Copilot. Just Copilot.

Facebook renaming itself to Meta Platforms wasn't any better.

This looks fairly cool. If I had the production need for this, I’d definitely consider this.

I paired with Claude and simply added nats.c to the zig buildup system for my zig project at work. It works like a charm.

have you tried using pi-hole or adblock plus running on a raspberry pi on your network?

whenever i'm off my home wifi network, i have wireguard configured to connect home and get me that ad blocking. it's so nice.

yes, i prefer to use brave for personal stuff and i use edge for work stuff (reasons,,, don't ask)

It's definitely better than nothing, and greatly improves things, but UBO is better. Try watching a youtube video in a browser with UBO, and the android app on a network with pi-hole, etc.

I ran AdGuard Home for a while but it was causing too many problems for everyone else at home so I stopped.

These days I’m using AdGuard on iOS and ublock origin with Firefox on everything else.

It took me a long time to get the allow lists dialed in, but I think it was still worth it. My wife may disagree since she was the most common victim.

It amazes me that every link the kid's school sends is a tracking link, and not always the same tracker.

Wow. This is an incredible article that tracks just about everything I’ve done with the web over the past 30 years. I started with BbEdit and Adobe PageMill, then went to dreamweaver for Lamp.

As someone who is diving deep into Zig, I’m actually going to evaluate all this (and compare this to Ziglings) or the Zig track on Exercism.

Or GNU / Systemd / Linux

I'm not a pythonista, and the most recent time I've been playing with python has been using octodns. origninally I was using a pip setup, and honestly wow UV was so much faster.

I'm very happy the python community has better tooling.
