Something new for my todo list:
"Spy pixels are evolving like malware, so HEY’s adapting" by DHH https://m.signalvnoise.com/spy-pixels-are-evolving-like-malware-so-heys-adapting/
I know Fastmail just uses a proxy for all images. Presumably if they request every image every time, it also defeats pixel tracking? Then marketers just get a 100% hit rate, which is useless.
There is now a Mastodon instance for publishing scientists: FediScience.
Everyone is welcome from PhD student to professor, as well as researchers from outside of academia. You are welcome to stay afterwards, but it is also easy to change to another server.
There will be a lot of science talk on this server, but there is no need to only talk science
https://fediscience.org/invite/j6X8z7qF
Boosts are appreciated to let others know about this new instance.
Time is running out. There are just 13 days until the close of the call for papers for the @opensuse + @libreoffice Conference. Submit a talk before it's too late - https://events.opensuse.org/
