imagetic··on WBlock: A New Ad-Blocker for Safari

For those looking for the iOS / safari option for Ublock origin lite.

imagetic··on Drilling down on Uncle Sam's proposed TP-Link ban
God help us.
imagetic··on Drilling down on Uncle Sam's proposed TP-Link ban
I have TP-Link Deco's for our WiFi, sitting behind a Firewalla Gold. This has been by far the nicest, simplest at home setup I've ever deployed. Do I love that I chose TP-Link? No. But price to purpose it was the best product available to me at the time.

If TP-Link gets banned, my concern is what that means for the massive market share in the US. Warranty? Software updates? Or maybe that action is what turns them into an agent of the state. Or do you horde all the hardware until its valuable like DJI parts are today?

More!
imagetic··on Warp Terminal changes pricing model
I really loved Warp during its earlier stages.

They added so many things I couldn’t keep up and I as just tired of updating it on launch every single day.

imagetic··on Fallout from the AWS outage: Smart mattresses go rogue
My local pub, vet hospital, and many many other neighborhood establishments were still battling the outage well after the work day had ended.
imagetic··on Apple Photos app corrupts images
Photos has always corrupted stuff.
imagetic··on Dropbox Paper mobile App Discontinuation
The video review and transcription tools have been game changing for us.
imagetic··on YouTube views are down (don't panic)
YouTube feels more like the Home Shopping Network these days.
imagetic··on uBlock Origin Lite now available for Safari
Thank you.

Same. Pretty sure Meta was the first to get mad at me for it.
imagetic··on DuckDuckGo now lets you hide AI-generated images in search results
I really want to support alternate search engines. And removing/filtering AI generated imagery is really important for research and history.

But DDG scrapes some bottom feeder news publications. Newsweek and MSNBC wire reposts shouldn't be the top results. Ever. Those are ghost articles and link bait.

imagetic··on Introducing a terms of use and updated privacy notice for Firefox
Same.

They should have offered us monthly services that made sense. Long long ago.

imagetic··on Doge Claimed It Saved $8B in One Contract. It Was $8M
That has been my question. They are just cutting line items out of a csv from what I assume are Ai results.

I’d be surprised if anything was correct at all.

imagetic··on Netflix says its brief Apple TV app integration was a mistake
The implementation of services on Apple TV has been a awesome. We open one app when we sit down to watch our shows. It works with little-to-no technical understanding or effort.

But we don't browse for stuff to watch very often. Netflix wants to get those views and autoplays. It's all about the stats boosts.

We dropped Netflix a long time ago. It became a made-for-tv content sausage factory with the occasional gem. Once a year we fire it up to binge the stuff our friends talk about all the time. Each time we are consistently reminded it's not worth the higher subscription price.

Awesome.
imagetic··on Avoid ISP Routers (2024)
At home I go from the modem to a Firewalla and then break out to the WiFi. Our needs at home are pretty simple though.

I have been quite happy with the experience.

Ice is great. Took some fiddling but I have been stoked on it.

I think I paid for it a few times because it had been so long. I also got work to buy 12 licenses to monitor edit bays when they were overheating all the time. I could read the machines stats on an iPad!

Good times.

I've lost count of how many years I've owned a Bjango license. Amazing software.

imagetic··on Zen, a Arc-like open-source browser based on the Firefox engine
My download was corrupt and macOS threw it in the trash. That's a first.
imagetic··on Ruby on Rails 7.2 Released
Rails changed my life. I've yet to have as much fun making applications or tools as those golden RoR days. Such a cool community.
imagetic··on Show HN: 1-FPS encrypted screen sharing for introverts
I love it.

Our workflow is built around removing the need for an office and technical infrastructure. We have live streams of our timeline output (video editing) and an open comms channel. Most of our team is pretty introverted, so it's a push to talk system. We mostly just leave notes in the chat if it doesn't warrant a full discussion.

Crude solutions are often the ones that get adopted.

imagetic··on Why is it so hard to share links on LinkedIn?
Because LinkedIn is a cancer.
