AI browsers like ChatGPT Atlas don’t improve the web, they replace it with corporate-controlled summaries and surveillance. People rush to adopt them, ignoring privacy risks and ethical flaws. The web thrives on openness, but AI browsers undermine that. Ask yourself: Who benefits? It’s not you.
Why do we write differently for the public than we do for friends? Online, we often trade authenticity for polish, yet the most memorable, engaging writing feels like a conversation, not a performance. What if we wrote for the public the way we write to those we trust? Imperfect, personal, and real. The internet needs more of that.

On why online writing often loses its personal touch in favor of polished prose, exploring how authentic voices like 404 Media and Marisa Kabas are changing the game, and why crafting engaging content that feels relatable and memorable - without sacrificing your unique perspective, matters most.

With all the ongoing #browser enshitification, by injecting #AI everywhere, I am incredible thankful for cozy, simply, and focused browsers like Horse. Modern and clean interface, intuitive features, privacy-focused, keyboard-focused, simply lovely.

Note-taking does not have to be complicated, messy, and system-driven, it should be smart, seamless, simple, and fun. @popt is an iOS app that auto-tags contacts, places, and dates, making notes fast, fun, and effortless, since you shouldn't have to worry about creating a bunch of backlinks, connections, numerous folders in order to get the most out of your note-taking practice.
