LPT: turn off "auto display images" in your email to stop hidden read receipt trackers
I typically use the Apple Mail macOS client and it has some built-in proxy feature to block trackers that I recommend using. I also developed the MailTrackerBlocker plugin if that feature doesn’t work for you for some reason (older macOS version, etc).

Why does Pocket (owned by Mozilla) have tracking elements embedded in their email newsletters?
I employ Mail Tracker Blocker on macOS Apple Mail and I see that this plug in is blocking something. So, why does Pocket, which is owned by Mozilla, a privacy forward company, have trackers in their "Pocket Hits" newsletter?

How to indicate that a laptop is locked and thus useless for thieves
Hi friends, I followed this guide: https://github.com/drduh/macOS-Security-and-Privacy-Guide and some additional steps to protect my macbook from being accessed by unauthorized people. The key steps I did was a full disk encryption and a custom firmware password. This makes it extremely difficult to repurpose my macbook after for example a theft. The reason I want this is that I often study in university or sometimes work in public places, but I also work as a software developer with sensitive consumer data.
