ProTip: Remember to check your URLs for "utm_*" parameters

E.G. If I see:
"?utm_source=reddit.com" at the end of the URL you shared, I know you got it from Reddit

Or "utm_campaign=newsletter0120" tells me you probably copied it from an email sent in January of last year

These are never needed to actually reach the page you're sharing. They're just for analytics (UTM tracking modules) and will reveal where you get your information (to us and the site), which may cause privacy issues

@alcinnz I wish someone had mentioned that to the people who spent six months in 2019 relentlessly harassing Glimpse contributors because they thought we were enemy combatants in an imaginary online culture war.

Wait, WHAT?

How dense am I? The woman who played Commodore Oh in Star Trek Picard was the actress who played Kumiko in Karate Kid part 2.

MIND BLOWN.

first time I see adblock notification in the web which actually promotes using adblock

If you can manage it, learning new things for their own sake and not for any expected utility is both more fun and more enlightening. It encourages a deeper exploration of a topic than you might otherwise perform, and opens up new pathways in your mind that were previously hidden to you.

Souvenez-vous de Aaron Swartz
(8 novembre 1986 - 11 janvier 2013)

Been lurking here for a couple of weeks; might as well do a proper introduction now.

Got a physics PhD years back, but working in the electronics industry now.
I'm your run-of-the-mill linux and FOSS enthusiast (for over 20 years now). Switched over to linux permanently a couple of years ago.
For some reason I seem to be running mostly ARM hardware these days (several RPIs, pinebook pro, pinephone).
