This is a personal collection of things I find around the internet.

Alright, so somehow you found this place. Here's what to expect:

Posts will be random; there are absolutely no themes here.
Posts may be overwhelmingly frequent (sorry about your sub feed).
Posts may be unbearably infrequent; you may forget you subscribed here.
Posts may be oh, so very boring to you.

Due to the nature of this place, you may find a bunch of stuff that you don't care about, but you may also find a new passion.

So, the gist is, this is a place where I'll share random things, and you'll discover the internet with me.

Oh yeah, I didn't advertise this place anywhere, so hey, how did you even get here?

Check out the sister sub where you discover music with me! [email protected]

I might tweak an article's titles for clarity, but never to change the meaning. If there is a difference, it's because the article changed it's title (which happens very often)

The new open ecosystem of extensions on Firefox for Android launched in December with just over 400 extensions. Less than five months later we’ve surpassed 1,000 Firefox for Android extensions. That’s an impressive achievement by this developer community! It’s exciting to see so many developers embrace the opportunity to explore new creative possibilities for mobile browser customization.

What are some of your favorite new Firefox for Android extensions?

[x-post] - “Windows 11 Start menu ads are now rolling out to everyone” (www.theverge.com)

Microsoft is starting to enable ads inside the Start menu on Windows 11 for all users. After testing these briefly with Windows Insiders earlier this month, Microsoft has started to distribute update KB5036980 to Windows 11 users this week, which includes “recommendations” for apps from the Microsoft Store in the Start menu.

Luckily you can disable these ads, or “recommendations” as Microsoft calls them. If you’ve installed the latest KB5036980 update then head into Settings > Personalization > Start and turn off the toggle for “Show recommendations for tips, app promotions, and more.” While KB5036980 is optional right now, Microsoft will push this to all Windows 11 machines in the coming weeks.

Microsoft’s move to enable ads in the Windows 11 Start menu follows similar promotional spots in the Windows 10 lock screen and Start menu. Microsoft also started testing ads inside the File Explorer of Windows 11 last year before disabling the experiment and saying the test was “not intended to be published externally.” Hopefully that experiment remains very much an experiment.

[x-post] - “Potential Brave Pro Subscription model?” (github.com)

It seems possible that Brave are building Brave Pro, which looks like its a subscription based service of some kind. A note on the Android implementation of the project reads (GitHub link):

"Implement the required runtime changes (profile settings, chrome flags, group policies, etc.) with the appropriate values that enable the Brave Pro experience. Using Brave in this mode with its default settings and making changes to the Brave Pro defaults require an active paid subscription.

When the browser has no active credentials for Brave Pro, the panel UI will promote the service and include the initial payment CTA. When credentials are present the panel UI will include the appropriate toggles for making changes to the default settings."

It also links to a private Google Doc.
