🙋♂️ Just the links – Of bits and bytes for December 18, 2023
Internet Travels
Of bits and bytes is my weekly round up of interesting links and ideas I discovered on the internet. It is published on Mondays for the previous week
It’s Christmas break!
It’s time to rest and recharge, so no commentary on the links this week or any other new articles. Take a moment, take a breath, and enjoy the moment. I’ll be back with a new Of Bits and Bytes on January 8th, 2024.

By design, the vast majority of Of Bits and Bytes readers never pay anything for the links, commentary, and tips it provides. But you made it all the way to the end of this week’s edition — maybe not for the first time. Want to support more journalism like what you read today? If so, click here.
