Brilliant. A coordinated campaign to get the UK's ICO to enforce the rules against spy pixels in emails. If you live in the UK, please consider participating. You can literally help change the internet. If the ICO issues a ruling, the dominos will fall. notospypixels.com
We built HEY World in large part because we couldn't find any newsletter software that wasn't drenched in analytics harvested from spy pixels. It's a complete ethical black hole.

Changing my mind on cloud has been one of the biggest flip-flops of my career. We go deep on why the future can’t be one where a small number of megacorps own almost all the computers on the internet. Oh, and how those boss-level fights have been going with @heyhey 😄 twitter.com/LastWeekinAWS/…
Keeping all your heritage services around until the end of the internet occasionally requires migrating them to a new hosting environment. I think Tadalist and Backpack have moved at least thrice since we stopped offering them to new customers many, many years ago ❤️ pic.twitter.com/yRrOhi8DiU

We gotta fucking stop calling it "side loading". Like it's something you do in a dark alley, away from the prying eyes of big brother. Installing software of your choice on a computer you own should not be an act of rebellion!
"We really all do need to think about what we can do, big and small, to squander fewer resources. Recycling your emails isn't going to turn any big tides, but if it's easy to do, helps you anyway, why wouldn't you?" world.hey.com/dhh/hey-will-s…
"Despite telling ourselves and the world that software roadmaps are a bad idea for well over a decade, we still made the mistake with HEY and custom domains. I'm sympathetic to why we did that, but a mistake it was." world.hey.com/dhh/don-t-prom…
"Enter Basecamp 4. For the past year or so, we've been in preproduction, while we've been riding the wild wave of success that has been HEY.. So another rewrite, yeah? No." world.hey.com/dhh/building-b…
