Junited 2026

Like others participating in Junited have mentioned, I recently discovered this project and love the idea. While the month is more than halfway past, I'll make sure to update this post with the best links I discover throughout the remainder of June 2026.

• Smallweb is Becoming an Archipelago: Coincidentally, I browse most of these websites as well.

• Emacs, how it all started (for me): I love hearing stories about Emacs, especially from beginners.

• .gitignore Isn’t the Only Way To Ignore Files in Git: Interesting if you're often using Git.

• What 2026 looks like: A beautiful web page describing the author's predicted future for 2022-2026.

• Don’t verify email addresses by sending spam to them: sigh…

• Apparently I'm not a woman because I use Linux: Let's continue breaking down walls. There will always be stupid around anyway.

• NetNewsWire Status: One of my absolute favorite apps on iOS.

• Van Halen Test: One of my favorite concepts. I feel like my teachers used this often to trick students who wouldn't read through all instructions before starting their answers.

• PR spam today looks like email spam in the early 2000s: Have they considered simply writing terrible software like I do? Then no one will even care to contribute!

• The ‘papers, please’ era of the internet will decimate your privacy: I feel like we've been warning the public of this message for a decade and yet, here we are. Still on the precipice.

• A Brief History of Domains: A fantastic piece.
