A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I appreciate that the only JS scripts Beehaw seems to load are from beehaw.org. Usually NoScript shows like two full pages of domains, and (at least—you know, the obvious ones) half of them are for ads and "analytics".

JS is first-party only, but as a PSA, Lemmy does not proxy images, so for someone could use ![](https://example.com/tracker.png), and loading the comment will contact example.com.

Yeah. Good point. Might be a good feature to add....
