I'm late to the party but Megabonk is one hell of a fun game.

Enjoying the TUI inspired Discord theme "system24" with custom mono-space font. Gives me IRC vibes.
I feel there's a lot of fatalism around browser market share and Chrome's dominance, but looking at Cloudflare's CDN report shows Chrome losing market share and Firefox desktop growing. Here's hoping Google's push to restrict ad blocking functionality may push more users over to Firefox.

Back in the day I'd check how web crawlers viewed my HTML pages by using the Lynx text browser. Now I use `pdftotext` to check how Applicant Tracking Platforms view my PDF CV.
I love me a TUI resource monitor such as `htop` and `nvtop`, but I did miss Windows Task Manager. Well, now there's "Resources" for Gnome. It has all the nice visual graphs I like and is written in Rust.
Writing an article about how the old web used to be while being published on a site that has cookie banners, notification consent pop-ups, auto playing videos and MPUs that cover the entire article text is something special.
I don't know if it's performance art or just a dark look into modern web journalism.
Just found `kalc`, a terminal based calculator that supports real-time output and graphing via `gnuplot`. What's lovely is you can configure `gnuplot` to draw directly to the terminal using its sixelgd mode (if your terminal emulator supports it).
I like the quick feed back for experimenting with different formula values and seeing the results in real-time.

I knew Amazon was using AI for review summaries but it seems the advertising department is now using it to generate overly smooth babies with mangled hands.
I'm constantly impressed how good the open source font Source Serif looks on my Kindle. The ligatures and italic glyphs are just beautiful.
As a web geek and Firefox advocate, I love poking around in the source code of websites to figure out what technologies they're using. Long live the open web.
Prefixing the URL with `view-source:` gets you access but Firefox Android also has a handy extension https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/android/addon/view-source-code/
