Cool links of the week
This option disables Meta AI and increases privacy in WhatsApp conversations.
TrackWeight. An app (FOSS) that turns the MacBook trackpad into a scale.
Moe Counter. The old web 1.0 visitor counters persist.
A medieval king’s daily life. Kind of an ancestor to Instagram’s “morning routine” videos.
elle’s homepage. elle’s website is a room in isometric perspective “decorated” with HTML.
Social media specifications. Always useful to have a page like this handy.
Blip. A new app for […]

Cool links of the week
What’s on my phone. I started a series on the Portuguese version of the blog where readers and friends show what they have on their phones. The first one is mine.
Don’t publish your podcast only on Spotify. I’ve been coming across small or personal podcasts that can only be listened to on Spotify. Intrigued by this trend, I created a new podcast on Spotify to find out what’s happening.
The new emojis in Unicode 17.0. They arrive in the second half of the year.
Where’s Firefox going […]

Cool links of the week
I collect cool, interesting links spread all over the web and share them here in weekly posts. Hope you enjoy!
Petrichor. New offline music player for macOS. Reminds me of iTunes from the good old days. And it’s open source.
Blanket. A Linux app (Gnome/GTK) that creates sounds and noise. On macOS? Try Blankie.
Abdisa Dev. I have a soft spot for websites that simulate terminals.
Export YouTube subscriptions into RSS. Much easier than adding channels one by one to a feed aggregator.
A […]

Six years of Gemini. The protocol, not Google’s AI.
New Ensō, first public beta. A text editor without editing, which made some noise on the internet years ago.
zenta. Mindfulness without leaving the terminal. […]

As soon as you open the site allow.webcam, it requests permission from your browser to access your webcam. If you grant it, the site takes a picture of you and displays the pictures of all the other people who have also allowed themselves to be photographed. If you decline, you’ll be left with a black screen.

Tiny Emulators brings together a handful of emulators for classic operating systems and games
Tiny Emulators brings together a handful of emulators for classic operating systems and games, running directly in your browser. To play the games, use the arrow keys and the spacebar. Some OSs have special commands, which are listed here. I just spent a good few minutes playing the original Prince of Persia.

Hypertext TV is a celebration of small, handmade games and sites
Hypertext TV is “a celebration of small, handmade games and sites.” The interface simulates an old tube TV, and the available “channels” (sites) vary depending on the day and time — come back on different days to receive different content. It serves as a kind of answer to the unlimited on-demand content offered by modern web. (The code is open source, and you can suggest sites to be added.)

The 404s website is an ode to the not found web pages.
The 404s is an ode to the not found web pages. The name of the site refers to the standard response code of the HTTP protocol for pages not found. This site celebrates the error — and I believe that celebrating our mistakes to the point of taking pride in them is somewhat healthy.
I also think that the 404 page of this Manual could use a little attention, don’t you think?

Windows on Game Boy Color
https://manualdousuario.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/gbswindows.mp4The Spanish Ruben Retro has created a version of Windows for the Game Boy Color — the predecessor of the Nintendo Switch. You can play Minesweeper, listen to music, draw (and print your drawing on the quirky Game Boy printer)… even the infamous blue screen of death is there. Fascinating! I couldn’t find any technical details about this feat, and the cartridge is sold out.

The undercut-f1 is a command-line application (TUI) that displays Formula 1 race data — in real-time or replay sessions. It shows sector times with colors for personal and overall bests, tire types, gaps between drivers and the leader, and race information.

Tacky animated GIFs (flames, “under construction,” blinking “new” signs), eye-catching colors, and scrolling text with the long-gone HTML tag: it’s all there. The Geocities Time Machine transforms any modern website into a masterpiece from the 1990s — or any site from that era hosted on the beloved Geocities. The image to the side is of this Manual “Geocitified.” Hot tip by […]

Short Trip is a tram ride through a universe of anthropomorphic cats that, as the name suggests, is quite short. However, that doesn’t mean it was quick to built: Alexander Perrin spent five years (!) completing this beautiful hand-animated illustration. (More details.) The sound effects are pleasant as well. If you prefer, there’s a version that “adds a new ‘scheduled’ mode that […]

If you think mechanical keyboards with blue switches are annoying, get ready because things can always get worse: the free app Kwack (macOS) plays a “quack!” with every keystroke.

The Oaksun studio developed a mobile-optimized VR experience that showcases properties in a super immersive way. (It works well on both phones and computers, without the need for a virtual reality headset.) Meanwhile, in the real world, we have to deal with those hostage-style photos in rental listings…

Who needs Photoshop for simple things? The free website Curved Text Generator does what its name suggests: create curved texts. There are two creation modes, a free draw one and other with the “pen”, in which points and curvatures are spread on the canvas as if they were coordinates. And, of course, some customization options, such as font family and size, colors, and spacing.

368 Chickens is a logic game, like “tie three equals together to eliminate them”, but with an end: the goal is to rescue… 368 chickens. It’s harder than it seems.
