You.com 

My thanks to You.com for sponsoring last week at DF. You.com is a privacy-focused search engine, with a particular focus on helping programmers find and complete any coding query faster. They integrate with dozens of sites and services like StackOverflow, GitHub, Code Complete, and many more, to produce high-quality results without wonky SEO. You.com doesn’t bombard you with ads or steal and sell your data to the highest bidder. Generate, copy, and have AI autocomplete any coding query right in your search results. I’ve been using You.com all week, and it’s a good general-topic search engine, too. See for yourself for free today.

Google’s Play Store Is Chock Full of Wordle Rip-Offs 

Three weeks ago when I wrote about shameless Wordle rip-offs in Apple’s App Store, I was a bit surprised that the same wasn’t true for Google’s Play Store.

Shocker.

Peter Jackson’s Get Back has, rightfully, been much-discussed. This essay by Ian Leslie, for his site The Ruffian, is one of my favorite takes. Chock full of keen observations. Perfect Sunday morning read.
