Clean My Links feature of Hookmark: Improve Every Link You Share

https://hookproductivity.com/blog/2026/04/clean-my-links-make-every-link-you-share-better/

* *Clarity* — You (and others) can see what the link actually points to
* *Stability* — Fewer brittle, session-dependent URLs
* *Privacy* — No leaking tracking tokens
* *Cognitive ease* — Less noise, better flow

This aligns with a broader principle: *A good link should include only what’s needed to point to the page—nothing extra. Everything else just gets in the way.*

Clean My Links™: Make Every Link You Share Better – Hookmark

Links are the connective tissue of knowledge work. But most of the links we copy and share today are… a mess. They’re bloated with tracking parameters, session tokens, referral junk, and opaque identifiers—what we might simply call URL cruft. This cruft makes links: harder to read less trustworthy

Not much of note #FromMyReading this morning, but I do like this, as it echoes what I have said for ages.

Apps like EYB try to fit Indian food into Western categories, but it doesn't work. Everything just ends up under "Curry". From Chutney Lovers.

"Many Indian dishes defy western-style categorization. Meals in India are also not divided into set courses reserved for specific categories - appetizers, soup or salads, main course and dessert. All the dishes are arranged on the table, and everyone fills their plate as per preference or they get served if it’s some occasion or a festival.

For example, what is dal? Is it a curry (a big NO), is it a soup, is it a stew? Dal or any cooked, spiced lentils are a category in itself because they are such a monumental part of Indian meals, notwithstanding the culinary diversity. The best way to describe and categorise dal is as a rice accompaniment.

In the western Indian states of Maharashtra and Gujarat, warm, stir-fried salads are intrinsic parts of meals. But they are cited as side dishes or even dried sabjis, no one will dream of calling them salads."

I can’t help thinking the opportunity afforded by the current energy crisis is in renewables, not this. This is not the future.

„This idea that current LLMs are just a few skips (and another fifty billion in taxpayer subsidies) away from true sentience just isn't supported by factual reality. This sort of doomerism serves simultaneously as marketing to overstate what LLMs are actually capable of, and redirect press and public attention away from some the very ordinary human failures dominating AI development.“ https://karlbode.com/the-problem-with-ai-is-shitty-human-beings/ #links

The Problem With AI Is Shitty Human Beings

The problem with AI isn't going to be Skynet. It's going to be amoral extraction class assholes applying half-cooked automation at scale onto deeply broken sectors in exploitative ways in a country too corrupt to have functioning regulators.

Microsoft, par le biais de LinkedIn, cherche à connaitre toutes les extensions de votre navigateur. Ça peut sembler anodin, mais vu que sur LinkedIn vous n’êtes pas anonymes, Microsoft connait beaucoup de votre vie et peut faire le lien avec votre identité officielle, et ça c’est un énorme soucis.

Le meilleur moment pour quitter les GAFAMs, c’était hier, le deuxième meilleur moment c’est maintenant.

LinkedIn Is Illegally Searching Your Computer

Microsoft is running one of the largest corporate espionage operations in modern history. Every time any of LinkedIn’s one billion users visits linkedin.com, hidden code searches their computer for installed software, collects the results, and transmits them to LinkedIn’s servers and to third-party companies including an American-Israeli cybersecurity firm. The user is never asked. Never told. LinkedIn’s privacy policy does not mention it. Because LinkedIn knows each user’s real name, employer, and job title, it is not searching anonymous visitors. It is searching identified people at identified companies. Millions of companies. Every day. All over the world.

Catch of the Day: The Purist Unix Faction (Dillo & Links) 🐧💻

Hey Retro Fans!

When we talk about the "retro web," most people immediately picture bulky CRT monitors, Windows 95, or colorful iMacs. However, today's glance at our server logs reveals a massive return of the silent heroes of the internet: the hardcore Unix purists!

Our top catches of the day are Dillo (Version 3.2.0) and Links (Version 2.30).

For those who haven't met these legends yet:

🪶 Dillo: This is an incredibly lightweight graphical web browser written in C/C++. Its secret recipe for blazing speed on vintage Linux or BSD rigs? It completely ignores modern web bloat like JavaScript and complex CSS layouts.

⌨️ Links: This browser takes it one step further. Who needs images or a mouse anyway? Links is the absolute king of text-based browsers. When a sysadmin is working deep in the night via SSH on a server and "just needs to search" the web real quick, the terminal glows thanks to Links.

Why do these browsers love the Frog pond so much?

Because FrogFind speaks their exact language! No JavaScript frameworks, no trackers, no massive background downloads, and zero popups. We simply deliver squeaky-clean, classic HTML. Just pure text, wrapped in maximum speed.

Keep those terminals glowing and stay purist!
Your FrogFind Team 🐸
