PSA WHEN SHARING LINKS: Please remove anything that comes after a `?` in the url. It is a tracker and puts any Pede that clicks the link at risk of being doxxed by big tech.
Not quite. See mod comment.
Please be careful out there Pedes. ALWAYS check and clean your links before sharing.
EDIT:
Getting a lot of comments about valid use of query parameters (parts with the ? in a url).
It is true, not every query param needs to be removed from a url.
But if you are sharing anything from twitter, fb etc, please remove it (feel free to test the link before hand to make sure it is working)
That's not always true, and most usually isn't, actually.
If you're worried about trackers though, block them at the source via DNS, AdBlock, or a browser with strict privacy.
AdGuard + Brave Browser
i'll be downloading that as soon as I can get around to closing the 50 tabs i have open
This. If it matters to you, take care of your end. I don't need to pretend I'm safe from prying eyes when there are so many other ways for big brother to track my data.
Better to know that you're being watched than to foolishly assume you're smart enough to hide perfectly. At least now I know everything they know about me.
