olestron Rams (documentary of Dieter Rams, immensely influential designer) (2018) [video]

Interesting take from him:

" ... one of the most interesting parts of Dieter's story is that he now looks back on his career with some regret. «If I had to do it over again, I would not want to be a designer,» he's said. «There are too many unnecessary products in this world.» Dieter has long been an advocate for the ideas of environmental consciousness and long-lasting products. He's dismayed by today's unsustainable world of over-consumption, where "design" has been reduced to a meaningless marketing buzzword."

olestron Rams (documentary of Dieter Rams, immensely influential designer) (2018) [video]

"Rams is a design documentary, but it’s also a rumination on consumerism, materialism, and sustainability. Dieter's philosophy is about more than just design, it’s about a way to live. It’s about getting rid of distractions and visual clutter, and just living with what you need. The film features original music by pioneering musician and producer Brian Eno."

olestron Proton Pass Web App (early access)

I was surprised to see this casually mentioned in their 2023 year in review for Proton Pass

olestron 2023 Proton Pass year in review – building a modern password manager

I've been patiently waiting for the web app for Proton Pass, and was surprised to read that it's already available in early access:

"Proton Pass on web — while Proton Pass has always had a web extension, a dedicated web app was a widespread community request, and now Proton Pass web is available at pass.proton.me for paid users (it will later be available for all users)."

olestron Deno 1.39: The Return of WebGPU

The initial WebGPU Standard Library is such a promising step in this direction!

olestron Proton Drive's new photo backup feature for Android

Related, but I found the blog post more insightful and interesting[0]

>Next on our roadmap is the development of support for albums and automatic categorization based on photo types, such as screenshots. We are also working on integrating on-device machine learning to ensure that you can enjoy all the smart features you’ve come to rely on while maintaining end-to-end encryption.

Once it has matured a little more, and this feature is implemented, I'll happily switch from Google Photos!

olestron Deno 1.38: HTML doc generator and HMR

I was looking for something like HMR for client side reloading a little while ago (HTML, CSS, etc), and ended up with just using the CLI of Browsersync[1] with a barebones config. It works, but feels shoehorned and wonky.

It would be nice to do this with something native to Deno, which this HMR implementation seems to enable!
