  • Most can probably go through life without ever having to use the insurance or be stopped by the police.

    this is anecdotally super wrong.

    I drive like 15,000 km a year (VERY LITTLE) - in the past 20 years I’ve hit probably a half dozen ride programs and been rear ended twice by someone else while fully stopped at a red light

    While I’ve never had to actually file an insurance claim, there have been plenty of times I’ve had to present it




  • Fair - point still stands though - the application only has a single breakpoint defined at 600sp from a cursory glance, the lack of an ultra-wide specific layout is just because it hasn’t been implemented rather than a shortfall of GTK (though I’m not sure you would even want to make the message view wider, as it would impair readability)











  • It’s Google analytics, and the meta/twitter/etc tracking pixels. Almost every site uses them because they provide useful data to the site owner and they are free.

    the images in OPs post appear to be designed to match their site theme, meaning umatrix wouldn’t even block them, because they are being served from the sites actual domain/CDN and not from Facebook/Google’s tracking domain.

    The buttons don’t do any tracking just from existing. They only exist to encourage a miniscule number of people to repost your content on social media, and in the event a share comes from that, they may include affiliate info

    All the useful information comes from the tracking scripts, which developers are also placing themselves because they are infinitely more useful. They tell you where visitors are coming from, how/if they are converting, everything they are viewing/interacting with on your site, and what the ROI of your ad spend is. In addition to telling you if someone clicked the share button.

    Tracking pixels have been decoupled from the “share” buttons for at least 10-15 years
