**Editor’s note:** This week issue arrives a little later and after a mistake that triggered last week’s sent over the newsletter. My apologies for that!
I collect cool, interesting links spread all over the web and share them here in weekly posts. Hope you enjoy!
[“We will not use an LLM to add a chatbot, a summarization solution or a suggestion engine to fill up forms for you, until more rigorous ways to do those things are available.”](
) In a moment of euphoria in which even Mozilla — which would have the most to gain from caution around reckless adoption of generative AI — at least one web browser embraces that stance.
[The size of Adobe Reader installers over the years]( ). I would never have guessed the Adobe Reader installer is nearly 700 MB. (SumatraPDF’s is ~8.2 MB.)
[Mavericks Forever]( ). This person loves macOS 10.9 “Mavericks” so much they decided to modernize Apple’s 2013 OS that was discontinued in 2016. (Don’t try this at home.)
[doxx](
). A Word document (*.docx) viewer for the terminal.
[Drawmote](
). I haven’t tried it, but this site promises you can draw by waving your phone. (I think it only works in Chromium-based browsers.)
[MakeACopy](
). An Android app that scans and transcribes documents (OCR). Private, offline, and open source.
[Karousel](
). A script that turns KDE Plasma into a “scrollable” interface.
[dnsperftest](
). A simple script that tests the speed of popular public DNS servers from your connection.
[Gamer Church](

[Instapaper integration with Kobo goes live](
).
[Typepad is shutting down](https://everything.typepad.com/blog/2025/08/typepad-is-shutting-down.html ). Everything will be deleted on September 30rd.
[SuperTuxKart Evolution promises a “new experience”](
), Omg! Ubuntu. Backstage disagreements over the most iconic Linux game resulted in a split. (They could’ve settled it with a best-of-three match in STK, right?)
[Microsoft Copilot launches on Samsung TVs and monitors](
). Is this what Cory Doctorow calls “enshittification”?
[Koko Analytics 2.0](
). A WordPress analytics plugin. The new version expands monitoring site-wide, not just for posts and pages.
[Essayist](
). An academic writing editor. For iOS, iPadOS and macOS, about USD 5,99/month.
[digitalsolitude]( ). A site that only works when a single person is accessing it.
[bookmarks.txt](.txt ). A concept for keeping URLs (bookmarks) in plain text files.
[TiledScreen](
). If for any reason you want KDE Plasma 6 to look like Windows 8, this theme is all you need.
[A presentation app that works on your phone](
). As long as your phone is an iPhone.
[SVG Crop](
). A web tool that “trims” whitespace around any *.svg file.
[EPSON MX-80 Fonts]( ). A font that simulates dot-matrix printers.
[In ❤️ with PDA](
). A site that emulates an old PDA.
[The Useless Web](
). A classic: press the button and go to a random “useless” site.
