Year: 2025

This sounds like it could be mind-blowing (but at least understandable to web geeks)!

“Domains? Where we’re going, we don’t need domains! Until the end of this year, the only way to have a secure web site is to have it accessible via a domain name. That, however, is changing. And the design of the Small Web will be changing along with it. IP addresses are about to make a comeback on the web in a big (ok, small) way, thanks to upcoming support for security certificates for IP addresses by Let’s Encrypt.”

From Mike Monteiro’s Good News:

“And before you write your “well, actually” response… you can’t get mad at people for conflating all the different types of AI, when you purposely threw them all together to build your hype cycle. You did this to yourselves.”

Just yesterday I had to cancel my SetApp subscription – can’t justify the cost for the one or two apps I mostly use – CleanShot X and Downie. So I went ahead and purchased the apps from the corresponding developer’s websites. As for Downie, it does what it does so well.

However, CleanShot X also continues to amaze! I started to use it way back in November of 2021 and they update the app quite regularly. I wasn’t expecting that, after purchasing it, the next day they would release some new features. Hello version 4.8! Just a solid screenshot program that is just so useful and worth every penny (there is a student/educator discount as well).

I’ve been thinking about our time saving, efficiency oriented gadgets and software – Joan Westenberg nails it…

We don’t need more information. We have oceans of it. What we need are tools that reintroduce friction in thoughtful ways.
