roses are red
violets are blue
in surveillance capitalism
poem reads you

and shows you ads
for flower shops
and tracks your clicks
and never stops

it cares not about
if privacy's harmed
the money is green
when people are farmed

twitter is cyan
facebook is blue
your friends are the product
and so are you

A new study finds 3,000 websites on which third-party tracking companies scoop up what you type into forms in real time — even if you never hit submit. This happens on about 1,800 websites for E.U. users too, likely in violation of the GDPR.

The first pre-release of novelWriter 1.7 is up. This is a beta release, so if you try it out, please be careful about using it on your real projects.

1.7 will include many improvements to how the project tree is organised. You can now have documents as children of other documents, and drag and drop items a lot more freely.

1.7 will update the file format of your projects to support more features. Keep in mind that updated projects cannot be opened in older versions.

Why did nobody tell me there was a Masto95 theme on octodon??

Country toad
Take me home
To your place
In a pond
Wet and boggy
Warm and foggy
Take me home
