Since then, I’ve added a set of image tools that also run entirely client-side:
- Image compress, resize, crop, rotate, and format conversion
- Image → PDF and mixed image + PDF workflows
- Basic photo editing (text, filters, watermarks)
- Upscaling and background removal
- HTML/URL → image capture and face blurring
Everything runs locally in the browser (Canvas, WASM).
No backend, no uploads, no tracking.
For context, the original post saw ~9.5k visitors over two weeks.
Average visit duration was ~40s, which fits the single-task nature of the tools.
Posting as a progress update rather than a re-launch.
I really need to start familiarizing with these new tools, I'm only using LLMs in interactive, “question and answer”, mode and I feel like using a typewriter when everyone is switching to computer word processors.
Thanks for sharing, it's a really interesting writeup and project!
The moat is still secure. So the strategy is to loot as much value as possible from within the moat. After all, where are the corporate customers going to go?
They're not getting replaced. It's just one think tank who wrote an opinion piece. While it keeps being a "what if?" and some people think it should happen, it has no political traction right now, not among the people, not among the EU itself, and not among the member states.
I'm not sure what to call the bias but the people who have done that we don't hear about so we're only hearing about the ones that don't do that. Who knows how many ruffians and scofflaws are out there on beaches, going unknown!
What exactly is complicated about this? It is very simple: Different governments allow them different access. This access is often precarious and dependent on not pissing off the government in control over whichever area they operate in. This is the same problem every humanitarian organisation operating in the field has to deal with.
How do you know that it wasn’t merely that the blog post elicited multiple people to file the same duplicate bug in Apple’s radar system, which is how they ostensibly prioritize fixes?
At the company I work for they locked down installing extensions through the marketplace. Some are available but most are not and there is a process to get them reviews and approved. You might be able to side load them still but I haven’t cared enough to want to try.
I mean if you'd only care about the affiliate revenue, there probably are better niches to serve than citizens looking to protect themselves from tear gas.
> Why do these companies put so much effort into fighting right to repair to avoid IP leak
Only if you believe they are truthful about the reason for fighting right to repair. I think the reason for fighting right to repair is to reduce the time before a replacement purchase is required.
> but on the other hand encourage their employees to vibe all company secrets into the cloud?
Lots of companies do ban or restrict usage of LLMs etc.
It's not a mockery—that is precisely at the core of scientific method. Theory makes predictions (logical implications), and if you empirically find contradictory evidence, the theory is proven incorrect.
More unnecessary meddling, this causes price convergence so anyone living close to a typically lower cost source of fuel is going to have an almost imperceptible increase in relative cost.
They certainly love spending taxpayer money on nothing don't they.
They're doing fine in south america and the parts of Asia that used to take orders from the French. GM has more sales in the ME than Ford does so that kinda offsets the fact that Ford is doing better in Asia for the most part.
I don't want minimize the efforts of other manufacturers (I'm sure they'll all have Tesla's features in the next generation), but: my wife has a Subaru Outback, and the two systems are as close in functionality as humans are to chimpanzees. The differences are many, stark and subtle (that Subaru screen), I'd just say take a test drive with FSD.
Linux development has a blueprint they could follow. Like the principle of least privilege. These aren’t cutting edge concepts.
Also I’m not sure the tradeoffs of adding security to an editor are that big of a deal. Are we really seeing revolutionary stuff here? Every now and then I check out VS Code only to realize Vim is still 10x better.
