Came to this thread to shout you guys out! I was super impressed by your presentation at Open Sauce 2025.

https://jrmann.com

I am obsessed with this - appreciating every tweak you've added! Keep up the good work - signed, JRM from the leaderboard.

This doesn't really address your concern, but I feel obligated to share the Gatekeeper bypasses I know about:

Homebrew has an option which bypasses Gatekeeper when installing apps:

  brew install --cask app --no-quarantine

  export HOMEBREW_CASK_OPTS="--no-quarantine"

  alias unq="xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine"

Impressively, it also quickly passed levels 1 (checkbox) and 2 (stop sign) on http://neal.fun/not-a-robot, and got most of the way through level 3 (wiggly text).

It was a pleasure trying your demo at Open Sauce 2025!

I believe the Deno permission system[0] does what you're asking, and more.

(Deno is a JavaScript runtime co-created by Ryan Dahl, who created Node.js - see his talk "10 Things I Regret About Node.js"[1] for more of his motivations in designing it.)

Here's a StackExchange thread on this exact mix-up (a "misnegation"):

Ken Liu's chilling short story "The Message" [0] explores what this might look like on the receiving end.

It's in the site source - although unclear whether this is used directly in the front-end.

In Google Chrome, you can View > Developer > Developer Tools > ⋮ > Search > "you are"

It shows up in this file as of writing this comment:

Totally agree! My strategy is to use no word separators, and add the same sequence (dash, number, letter) at the end of every password.

Here's the generator I built if you want to try it yourself:

Have you checked out Arc Browser? [0]

It's pretty opinionated. "Archives" tabs after a pre-set amount of time, uses pinned vertical tabs instead of bookmarks…

Alternatively, here's a YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO-Are8053g

iTerm2 actually has a pretty well-designed tmux integration[0].

Overview from the guide:

  When you run "tmux -CC", a new tmux session is created. An iTerm2 window opens and it acts like a normal iTerm2 window. The difference is that when iTerm2 quits or the ssh session is lost, tmux keeps running. You can return to the host you were ssh'ed into and run "tmux -CC attach" and the iTerm2 windows will reopen in the same state they were in before.

These are clever strategies!

I'm too lazy to move things out of ~/Downloads, so I've just started using the folder as my default working directory and struggle to clean it out every quarter or so. /tmp (or probably ~/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems for my account only) being cleaned out on every reboot would force me to be more intentional.

I find ChatGPT most helpful as a "what's that called" tool. A lot of my queries are finding/confirming the right idiom when writing something, or getting a specific name out of a vague description (JavaScript concepts, shell commands, CSS selectors).

Search engines with SEO are so reliant on keywords that it often feels like I'm suggesting answers rather than asking questions - it's so refreshing to be able to just ask again.

Currently, WebAuthn/Passkeys are only designed for signing; you could re-use a challenge to be signed, but then the signature is as secure as a password (i.e., your Passkey would produce the same signature every time.)

WebAuthn also only works in secure contexts (HTTPS)—you couldn't make it work in a plain .html file.

If you find yourself constantly searching for highlights, I highly recommend the SponsorBlock extension (https://sponsor.ajay.app/), which crowdsources this job effectively (as well as targeting sponsored regions, credits, etc.)

Using the extension I could hit "return" to jump to results at 5:28.

+1 for https://www.one-tab.com/

To provide a bit more context: OneTab closes (all, or specific) tabs and dumps the URLs in a stack, grouped by window or category to be quickly popped open/combed through at your leisure.

It's great for the times I get sidetracked and need to hold onto thirty pages of docs without keeping them open at all times; I use it as a sort of tab purgatory which I will probably not revisit (I have 1025 tabs saved at the moment ).

An extra shoutout to "DF Tube (Distraction Free)" extensions[0] which have some of those UI zappers pre-programmed.

I use YouTube like this! Definitely going to implement some of your suggestions.

[0] https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/df-tube-distractio...

I shut down YouTube's addictive tendencies through a couple of less extreme factors.

DF Tube (Distraction Free) web extensions are available[0] for Chrome and Firefox which cut down intrusive UI (comments, recommended videos, the home page). It's easy to clone and extend the add-on if you want to block more.

When I'm on mobile, I limit the recommendations I can't block by disabling/clearing YouTube watch history. The new UI is aware of how much worse the suggestions are and hides them altogether—which is exactly what I want.

From there, I try only look at my subscriptions feed and occasionally the trending videos page. This makes YouTube less overwhelming—even if I watch just as much content—because I'm in control of what I want to see.

Curious if anyone else uses YouTube like this!

I submitted a request[1] to DDG to add a !swurl bang! Hopefully it goes through.

Edited; thanks for clarifying!

That makes this Stable-Dreamfusion adaptation even more promising.

[Edited] The original Dreamfusion project was discussed here a few days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33025446

These features exist! Apple includes parental controls under "Screen Time" and they works very well. You can whitelist contacts and websites, and even extend them remotely, as an administrator of a child's device.

For restricting access to the internet: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201304 For restricting access to contacts: https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/set-up-screen-time-fo...

Being comfortable with sexuality and nudity is distinct from sexual harassment, and I think this feature is fundamentally designed to prevent the latter.

Some nude content is wanted or warranted by the user, and some of isn't. Apple isn't blocking this content, only optionally hiding it—almost identically to Reddit's NSFW feature for mature adults. The "Ways to Get Help" might overstep the bounds for some situations, but it might also prevent others from getting worse.

Often, children are uncomfortable with sharing about being exposed to uncomfortable content. While that may be a fault of parenting, it doesn't make this tool any less useful.

I'm reminded of Google Tone[0], which beamed URLs audibly to nearby browsers in an Airdrop-style experience. A neat trick, but ultimately useless given that most devices have less obtrusive ways of sharing data P2P. The ultrasonic aspect of this experiment makes the technology a lot more useful.

Tone also came with the unfortunate side effect of Google software having constant access to your microphone.
