In the future, our pocket computers (or glasses or whatever) will have apps that we get from an app store and apps that people “make” for themselves and a very small number of people. Apps like bitrig (great name, btw) will make this more possible.

I’ve been in a sort of browser purgatory since the whole Arc thing went down. I have come to appreciate, on occasion, having tab-aware context in my browser and think what The Browser Company is doing with Dia Skills is kinda neat. One of the small things I have come to appreciate about pinned tabs in Dia is that, similar to Arc, when I click on a link in a pinned tab, it creates a new tab. Safari also behaves this way. No command key required. Whereas Perplexity’s Comet browser, by default, opens a link in a pinned tab in that pinned tab! WTAF?! I filed a bug.

As a T-Mobile customer, this makes me pretty angry, but I also know that’s life these days. If you are also a T-Mobile customer, make sure you opt out and check the other settings. You can do so by following these steps:

Access the Privacy Dashboard at this URL - www.t-mobile.com/privacy-c… and adjust the following privacy settings (toggle off), per line:

  • Profiling and automated decisions (on by default)
  • Fraud and identity theft protection (shares account and usage info)
  • Sharing certain financial information (payment history, balances, etc.)
  • Analytics and reporting, Advertising options, and Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information

    You should be able to do similar on AT&T and Verizon, which I recommend you do.

  • We gathered to celebrate one our dearest friends, Souris, last night. She (and JP) are the glue for our community of artists, technologists, hackers, makers and other misfits. Their arms stretch around the world, embracing us and connecting us always. Big love.
