The Arduboy is a rare example of an open source video game console. The company just announced that it is releasing a new model in December 2025 with USB-C and link cable (how nostalgic!) support. I find this intriguing. However, I bought an Arduboy about a year ago and have not really used it yet. […]
AlternativeTo reports that Mullvad VPN is shutting down Leta, its soon-to-be-former privacy-centric Google Search proxy, on November 27, 2025. I have been a Mullvad customer since 2021 of 2022. I recall noting when Leta was launched and trying it, but I was never too impressed with how it displayed results (setting...
The Times of London found itself in an awkward journalistic situation when it printed an article featuring fictitious quotes by former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio. Time Times of London explained the error as follows, according to the New York Post: The Times has apologized to Bill de Blasio and removed the...
Through Hacker News, I read that Google Chrome will go HTTPS by default with the release of Chrime 154, which is apparently slated for October 2026. I have not regularly used Chrome since 2015 or so, but I recall having heard from a friend that it did not enforce HTTPS by default. I unsurprisingly enable […]
I read interesting remarks by Texas Senator Ted Cruz on antisemitism at the 45th Annual Night to Honor Israel, courtesy of a Volokh Conspiracy post by Josh Blackman. After noting the rise of antisemitism on the left beginning “about a decade ago,” Senator Cruz addressed the rise of antisemitism in some prominent...
I saw a very unusual number of views in my Statify stats. The source was… Hacker News? While I have had a few dramatic Hacker News successes on my main site, The New Leaf Journal, I was not expecting one here. The culprit is yesterday’s Firefox “Privacy-Focused Direct Results” PSA, which I published as an aside...
I covered how to disable Firefox’s new AI “features” in my previous post. While browsing my feeds, I came across a new AlternativeTo post on another enabled-by-default addition to Firefox titled Firefox tests privacy-focused direct results in the address bar with possible sponsorships. This new “feature” was already...
I came across a guide on Flamed Fury to disabling new AI “features” in Firefox. I run Firefox with Arkenfox and a separate overrides file. I had not noticed any AI features with my set-up, but Flamed Fury inspired me to check my settings. It turned out the main AI toggle, browser.ml.enable, was enabled, as […]
I read a Hacker News thread about a new Android browser called Helium Browser. Helium is an open-source browser project based on GrapheneOS’s Vanadium, which in turn is based on Chromium, adding extension support to Vanadium while losing Vanadium’s tight integration with GrapheneOS. It is a good post and...
From an October 14, 2025 report in Brussels Signal: “A group of protesters gathered outside Microsoft’s EU office to complain about the company’s decision to end security updates for its older devices running the Windows 10 operating system.” “[This] includes millions of older devices that cannot run its newer...
