Today’s links:

• These new modular open source hardware laptops from Framework sound amazing, my only gripe is that 16 inch is just a bit too big for traveling and 13 inch is just a bit too small for web development, but I’d love to try one. frame.work #

• Cheesier, Saucier, and Drowning in Caviar: How TikTok took over the menu - TikTok vibe and culture, combined with online influencers, are having a big impact on the restaurant business. www.grubstreet.com #

• Noise Ethics - Noise isn’t something that we think a lot about day to day, but it has a massive impact on the quality of our lives, especially in cities - IMO designing our spaces, public and private for sound should become more of a thing. thewalrus.ca #

• supertokens/supertokens-core - Open source alternative to Auth0 / Firebase Auth / AWS Cognito. I’d like to try this out, the services mentioned really do speed up development, but there are some situations where outsourcing authentication isn’t ideal. github.com #

• The Story Behind the Chicago Newspaper that Bought a Bar - Tells the fascinating story of the Chicago newspaper that bought a bar and staffed it with undercover journalists. Raises lots of ethical questions though, not sure this would be a good thing if it was common place. www.topic.com #

• laurent22/joplin - Open source note taking and to-do application with synchronisation capabilities for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS - Notes are searchable, can be copied, tagged and modified either from the applications directly or from your own text editor, and notes are saved in Markdown format. Looks impressively comprehensive. github.com #
