„ [...] Wie soll man auf #autodestruktive #Protestierende reagieren, die fordern, weniger geschützt zu werden. Hören sie auf #Argumente? Fehlanzeige! Dafür #Hass und #Verunglimpfung kübelweise. Jetzt versuchen sich die #Impfgegner neu zu organisieren. Mit mäßigem Erfolg. Denn es fehlt ihnen etwas: das eingeübte #Feindbild Merkel.
Wie sich also neu positionieren? Mit alten Mitteln. Also nutzen sie Twitter und den Hashtag #nichtmeinkanzler, was wenigstens den Vorteil hat, dass anders als bei den Demos nicht gegen Hygienemaßnahmen verstoßen wird. Merkel fehlt ihren Gegnern schon jetzt, bei der Kanzlerin hatte man 16 Jahre Zeit, sich einen Besteckkasten von Verunglimpfungen zurechtzulegen. Der triggerte die #Wutbürgerschaft zuverlässig – und nun? Jetzt fehlt dieser Unordnungsrahmen, dieses über Jahre eingeübte Wutschnauben. Ein neues Feindbild muss her. Und so treten die Empörten die alte demokratische Gepflogenheit, 100 Tage einem neuen Amtsträger als Schonfrist einzuräumen, mit Füßen. [...]
Es ist schon traurig, dass Menschen sich wie der Suppenkasper weigern, die #Infektionsbrühe auszulöffeln, die ihr Verhalten uns eingebrockt hat. Nein, ihr seid nicht das Volk. Nein, ihr seid auch nicht die Stimme des Volks. Ja, die Mehrheit wünscht sich einen #Kanzler, der die Corona-Politik nicht nur fortsetzt, sondern sogar noch härtere Maßnahmen durchsetzt. Fest steht: Wir sind also grundsätzlich unterschiedlicher Meinung. Richtig ist: Ihr seid wenige, wir viele. Deswegen kann ich nur in einem dem Twittermob zustimmen: Besser im Netz sich versammeln als auf der Straße. Da steckt ihr euch nur mit Dummheit an, aber nicht mit dem Virus."
Helt enig, men den utm source er jo ikke så gale da. Tenker da på nyhetspublikasjoner som legger ut linker her på Mastodon, gjerne har utm source = Mastodon. Det er jo greit for å få synliggjort Mastodon som en tjeneste å satse på.
Men det kan vel hende at det blir overflødig med Mastodon versjon 4.4?
"all after ? Can be removed" fun misinfo, qnd this does not prevent people from shating tracking like its done in amazon with path params instead of queryparams xD
Not everything after a ? can always be removed, for instance with youtube.com/watch?v=(barf) the v=(barf) bit is the video ID and you need that. But most things can go!
You can even do that automatically thanks to uBlock Origin, you need to activate the "AdGuard URL Tracking Protection" list (for some reason it's not activated by default) and all tracking shit in the url is removed
Enough people have already mentioned that you can NOT just remove everything after "?", but there's more wrong here.
While YouTubes "si" query parameter can track you and who you send a link to, that is NOT true for static parameters like "utm_source" with "newsletter" or "utm_medium" with "email". All they tell the website operator is that the link was clicked X times from within the newsletter and Y times from an e-mail, but it's impossible to draw any connection here between two individuals that shared this link in some way.
These parameters aren't only important to advertisers (they usually aren't at all), but they are important to the website operator, especially if it's a small business with limited resources. It shows them if a newsletter is actually read or how many clicks they received from Mastodon and so on. It shows them that the mediums they are using are actually worth pursuing or if they should focus their attention on something else.
@ everyone in these comments, you don't have to do it all yourself and decide which parameters you can delete. There's a plugin for Firefox (and I'm sure there's also one for chromium as well for those who care more than me to find it): addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firef…
if you are providing a public service supported by public grants, those funding agencies needs "key performance indicators". They essentially ask you to prove that you have users and where they are coming from, if your outreach is successful etc ... It's debatable if that is good, but it is how it is atm. And at least in research those links are needed from time to time 🙁
Yes! Never use the SHARE button. This may have already been suggested but just select and copy the web address from the address bar at the top of the page of your browser. I've been doing it that way for years.
I don't know about si= 's but, I did run a website with Google Analytics and the utm_source, utm_medium, etc are used to identify where you put a link and what medium of media it was placed on so you can tell if you're reaching your audience. So if you print paper flyers with a QR Code in the Pizza Shop, your utm_medium=paper and your utm_source=pizza%20shop%20flyer.
Also, if you are on Mastodon and use the Mastodon web UI, you should check whether it allows the browser to send the referer header to remote links that users click on. Just some time ago, Eugen "recommended" instance admins to change settings to allow it "to make website owners more aware of Mastodon." (This setting can only be changed by Mastodon instance admins, not by users.) In my opinion, this usually reveals more information about the user clicking on the link than any of the tracking params present in the link. For example, the targeted website will know that a user coming from a certain IP "is most likely to" have an account on a certain instance. The privacy problem will be more serious if the user clicking the link has an account on the targeted website, because the website now knows a certain logged-in user is most likely to have an account on another website. While this threat is relatively small for huge instances, users on smaller instances will be tracked more easily.
Moreover, if the user lives under the rule of a government that can possibly get them into trouble for accessing the Fediverse, the referer header will sell them out to the websites (that may well give this info to that government) whose link the user clicked from the Mastodon instance.
I am not aware of any other Fediverse software that encourages sending referer header to remote links or does this by default. Pleroma sets the referrer-policy to same-origin.
The latest on the #Enshrinkifcation of consumer goods. Take a look at the net weight on those bags of ground coffee next time you're at the market. They're all over the place, 10, 11, 12 ounces. I remember when ALL packaged coffee was a standard 12 ounces. So even if that sale price looks attractive, you might be getting gypped out of a pot of Joe.
And while I'm on the subject, it's probably time for you to go de-calcify your #coffee maker. You know it's passed due. Let's pull together for the sake of a better pot of wakey juice.

Good Morning, Pam Bondi, I’m done with the runaround on Jeffrey Epstein’s case, and so are millions of others. We’re sick of being lied to about this so-called “file list”—names, documents, that “desk” everyone’s talking about. Where is it?
You said on Fox News it was on your desk for review, but now it’s vanished? How does that even happen? If you lied, Pam, come clean.
If Joe Biden or his people shredded it, spill the truth. Those children—Epstein’s victims—deserve closure, and you’re stonewalling their justice. This isn’t your first rodeo with this case.
As Florida AG, you looked over Epstein’s file when his sweetheart deal was cut in 2008. You knew the stakes then, and you know them now.
What’s the holdup? Why are details about that desk and the rest of the evidence still buried? This isn’t a game—those kids, now adults, are haunted, and we’re furious at the cover-up.
You’ve got the power to demand those files be released, unredacted, and you’re not new to this mess. Step up or explain why you’re letting this slide. We want answers, not excuses. Speak up,
Something tells me that Ms. Bondi was informed by her boss to "cool it" on the Epstein issue. So she had to backpedal; maybe DJT even gave her the words to say. --?
DJT did jump in at that presser last week to answer a reporter's question to Bondi re. Epstein. This was a BIG tell for me -- Bondi seems to be doing the bidding of her boss.

Amelia McDonald couldn’t believe her ears. She had been navigating what she calls “a horrible experience” trying to get her claims paid by State Farm after the Eaton Fire burned down her Altadena home and ranch in January.
She, along with her father, daughter and the goats that survived the fire, have been displaced since then.
Now a $876,354.07 check the insurer wrote her wouldn’t clear.
Wait, wait, wait - she received a large check. Can be from anywhere. She does not have an equal amount in her checking account as the check she is depositing (or anywhere near the amount).
The bank puts a hold on the check and slowly releases the check amount over several days from hold status to deposit status in her checking account. This is normal. The insurance company is not lacking cash.
If she needs the full amount quick, the bank will release it.

Να σας ρωτήσω ο άγιος Παΐσιος που είναι λέει προστάτης των διαβιβάσεων, προστατεύει μόνο το στρατόπεδο που του έκανε λειτουργία στη σχολή διαβιβάσεων ή μπορεί να κάνει κάτι και για τη σύνδεση μου όταν πέφτει το ιντερνετ?
Φυσικά και μπορεί Μόλις πέφτει η σύνδεση πρέπει να ανάψεις ένα κεράκι πάνω στο ρούτερ, να βάνεις την εικόνα του αγίου δίπλα και μετά να πεις ΦΤΟΥ ΦΤΟΥ ΕΞΑΠΟΔΩ ΜΑΚΡΙΑ ΑΠΟ ΤΟ ΡΟΥΤΕΡ ΑΥΤΌ ΣΤΑ ΟΡΗ ΣΤ' ΑΓΡΙΑ ΒΟΥΝΑ ΣΤΑ ΒΑΘΗ ΣΤΑ ΛΑΓΚΑΔΙΑ και να κάνεις λιτανεία το ρούτερ μέσα σε όλο το σπίτι. Αν θες μπορείς να πεις στον πνευματικό σου να σου δώκει λίγο λαδάκι ευλογημένο και με ένα μπαμπακάκι να αλείψεις το ρούτερ.
@dougroudouvari Έχω απορία. Το ρούτερ το κάνω λιτανεία στο σπίτι με το καλώδιο που συνδέεται με την πρίζα ή μπορώ να το βγάλω για να μην πρέπει να ρίξω τριαντάμετρη μπαλαντέζα RJ45 και μετά μπουρδουκλωθώ και ψάχνω να βρω τον προστάτη άγιο για τα σπασμένα γοφιά?
τίποτε απ όλα αυτά. Βάζεις το ρούτερ πανω σε λευκό σεμεδάκι, αριστερά μια εικόνα του Παΐσιου και δεξιά τον εσταυρωμένο, 100% σταθερή σύνδεση @dougroudouvari

Read my new Weekly Briefing newsletter: This week, the world saw even more clearly the brutal logic driving U.S. and Israeli policy in Gaza—and the moral clarity of the people who are rising to stop it.
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation and Boston Consulting Group helped design a plan to displace Palestinians under the guise of aid. But resistance to this violence is rising, from BDS to American classrooms.
Albania's Prime Minister Edi Rama once again knelt before meeting Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni at the Ukraine Recovery Conference in Rome, Italy.
In the West Bank village of Taibeh, the only entirely Christian Palestinian village, Israeli settlers reportedly set fire to St. George's Church and the adjacent Christian cemetery.
The incident comes amid a broader wave of settler violence in the West Bank. Villages such as Ein Samia and Kufr Malik have faced arson attacks targeting homes, vehicles, and farmland. At the end of June, four young Palestinians were killed while resisting settler raids.

in all seriousness when you look at the alleged autopsy photos, those strangulation marks really do not look like hanging. they aren't pulling up toward the jaw, they're straight across his neck like someone strangled him from behind with an electrical cord (which was also photographed in the cell)
all video anomalies aside, that is the most glaring piece of evidence that he didn't hang himself with a bedsheet.
combine that with all the other implausible coincidences with the staff, the cameras, everything like that- it's pretty obvious we have a big fat conspiracy.

Bisher dachte man, #Brosius-Gersdorf sei nur für Ungeborene gefährlich, die straflos getötet, entnommen, verkauft oder verarbeitet werden dürfen. Irrtum! Sie entleert den Begriff der Würde des Menschen bis zur Unkenntlichkeit.
Seit langem gibt es in der Juristerei jedoch Bestrebungen, das #Grundgesetz kollektivistisch umzuschreiben und einzelne Menschen zur Ware und zu Verfügungsobjekten des Staates herabzuwürdigen. #Impfpflicht, schrankenlose #Abtreibung und Beseitigung der #Oppostion passen allesamt in dieses #Denkschema.
Dieselben Leute, die „Würde des Menschen” beim auf Leben ganz klein schreiben, beharren darauf, dass die bloße Rückführung Gebietsfremder in ihre Heimatländer ein Anschlag auf die Verfassung sei. Das ist inkonsistent und lächerlich.
