If this year was about getting off US tech, 2026 is the year to reassess the digital revolution — what works, what doesn’t; what to keep, and what to reject.

I’ve only just started to consider what needs to change about how I use digital technology, but I’m excited to learn more next year.

We need to reassess our relationship to digital tech

Getting off US tech led me to a wider questioning of digital convenience

This year was a busy year!

This year I wrote 28 articles for Privacy Guides, created 4 designs for our new merch store, started a new project you will soon hear more about, all while still working on my own projects as well. It was a busy year, but it was a good year.

May the next one bring even more new projects and community growth!

There will be many hard battles for privacy rights to fight in 2026. But together, there is nothing we cannot accomplish ✊💛

There are three developments since 2019 that have significantly improved my life as a developer:

- SwiftUI. SwiftUI in 2019 was a game changer and while I can use UIKit without an issue, SwiftUI makes iOS dev more enjoyable for me.
- LLMs: Controversial but while I do not promote vibecoding, I believe LLMs can be used responsibly. They have found their place in my workflow and have helped me write code faster.
- SQLiteData @pointfreecoPoint-Free ! Finally makes CloudKit usable for me.

Cop City RICO Cases Dismissed Years After 61 Activists Charged as Criminal Conspiracy - UNICORN RIOT

Atlanta – Racketeering charges against 61 people indicted as co-conspirators in the Stop Cop City movement were dismissed yesterday, marking a significant victory for those facing prosecution in the years after the movement’s peak. The dismissal comes after more than two years of attempted prosecution that sought to convict protesters who opposed Atlanta’s sprawling police […]

I like the term 'traumatic masculinity' more than 'toxic masculinity'.

It provides greater clarity to both cause and effect. "Toxic masculinity" doesn't snap into existence fully formed, it is caused by the traumatizing way we raise men. And its effects are that it further traumatizes - women, men, everyone.

This term also provides real guidance to what healthy masculinity looks like (tho that's not for me to figure out). What parts of masculinity are not trauma responses? Lean into those.

✨ Over the last few weeks, I created alfred-emoji-search, which is only helpful if you love emoji and Alfred.

github.com/jefftriplett/alfred

The other emoji lookup tools were fine, but didn't cover all the shortcodes I wanted or how my brain thought search should work.

Shout-out to @hugovkHugo van Kemenade's em-keyboard, which I have bundled in now and that gets me closer.

github.com/hugovk/em-keyboard

I have more features planned, like keeping track of commonly/recently picked emojis to speed up common searches.
