  • Using Firefox, you can simply “copy clean link” like mentioned here.

    Otherwise, learn about query strings, and make an educated guess.

    As for apps on various app stores for cleaning links, I have a general aversion to installing random apps, so I can’t help or recommend anything.

    If you want to stop them from tracking you, nothing you do to the link will stop them. This can only prevent sites from seeing who you share their link with. Notice I say can, not will. Even my sleep deprived mind can think of a few different ways to write this functionality without using query strings in an afternoon or less.















  • Personally I’ve always found it quite antisemitic to prescribe all people of the Jewish faith the opinions of the state of Israel, and in turn hold them accountable for the states actions.

    When people say anti Zionism is equivalent antisemitism that’s what they are doing, and in turn removing all agency from people of the Jewish faith.

    I have yet to ask people who make the argument about this though, but I assume it’d be a shitstorm.


  • When last I changed jobs (going from full time in house software developer to a consultant working for a firm), and every time I’ve changed assignments since (same firm, most times same client but different teams), I’ve been absolutely knackered. It can even happen once you’re back from a particularly long vacation.

    Sometimes for a week, sometimes for up to a month.

    It does pass though. You’ll find you have more energy as you get settled. Remember, new people to relate to, new things to do (even if it is similar tasks as previously) does take up a lot of mental energy even if you don’t feel like it does.

    Cut yourself some slack, give your mind and body time to adjust for a few weeks. Remember to eat and drink right, and afford yourself some extra down time. In my experience you’ll be acclimatised soon enough.

    Congrats on your new job!
