Hi! For the past few years I’ve been writing mostly about macOS and the iPhone, mostly because those are the devices I use day-to-day. I’ve been working on branching out, though. A few months ago I wrote about a free tool for running Windows inside macOS and it’s been great. I also managed to set up my old Android phone with LineageOS (article on that coming soon!) Basically it means I should be able to write more Windows and Android stuff soon. If you have favorite apps for those platforms, or are an indie developer who wants to reach out, please feel free! With that, here’s some more stuff I’ve been working on alongside a few things I think you should read.
Stuff I Wrote
- How to reset the YouTube algorithm PopSci. Tired of constantly seeing garbage recommendations? Take control, or turn the algorithm off entirely.
- ‘Beeftext’ Is the Best Free Text Replacement Tool for Windows Lifehacker. Text replacement tools make basically every job that involves a computer easier—set one up if you haven’t.
- This Is the Ultimate Tool for Setting Up a New Windows Computer Lifehacker. I used to work in IT and I wish this application had existed back then.
- I Tried YouTube’s AI Video Generator, and I’m Scared Lifehacker. I think I already regret using my face for this one.
Stuff You Should Read
- You Can’t Post Your Way Out of Fascism Janus Rose/404 Media. “But perhaps the greatest of these sins is convincing ourselves that posting is a form of political activism, when it is at best a coping mechanism—an individualist solution to problems that can only be solved by collective action.”
- The Generative AI Con Edward Zitron/Where’s Your Ed At? ” The fact that Sam Altman can ship such mediocre software and get more coverage and attention than every meaningful scientific breakthrough of the last five years combined is a sign that our society is sick, our media is broken, and that the tech industry thinks we’re all fucking morons.”
