Este episódio traz uma investigação sobre os efeitos da crise no mercado editorial na vida do escritor brasileiro.
Em outubro do ano passado, com uma dívida de R$ 285 milhões, a livraria Cultura entrou com um pedido de recuperação judicial. Em novembro, com uma uma dívida ainda maior, de R$ 675 milhões, a Saraiva também quebrou.
Essas duas falências têm causado um efeito dominó no mercado editorial, principalmente porque boa parte desse valor é devido para as editoras, que se vêem obrigadas a adiar ou cancelar lançamentos. Pra piorar, na esteira da crise econômica, as feiras literárias, festas e afins também estão perdendo o vigor.
Por outro lado, a impressão que se tem é de que nunca se vendeu tanto livro no Brasil e de que o escritor nunca teve tantas formas de chegar ao leitor, com as redes sociais, os booktubers, e as plataformas de auto-publicação.
Nesse primeiro episódio, o podcast Escafandro foi ouvir cinco escritores, dos mais diversos estilos e com públicos variados, para saber: afinal, é possível viver de literatura no Brasil?

It’s that time of year again: Libre Graphics Meeting 2019 is fast approaching!
This year the meeting will be May 29 to June 2 in Saarbrücken, Germany. This is extra exciting because Saarbrücken is centrally located enough that we should have a nice representation from projects and community members. Members of both RawTherapee and darktable live nearby and will be in attendance (along with others from those projects and many others).
I’m hoping to have a good representation this year, so first and foremost - please, please consider participating by giving a presentation, leading a workshop, or even a quick lightning talk! The Call for Participation page is here:
https://libregraphicsmeeting.org/2019/call-for-participation/
I will make myself available to help in any way I can. If you want a hand with the presentation, design, graphics or whatever please feel free to ping me (also - remember that we try to archive all of our presentations and material in our Github repo so you can grab any of the assets from there as well)! This is a great opportunity to spread the word about what we’re up to and the many, many awesome projects everyone has created, maintained, and contributed to for Free Software photography.
The deadline for submittal is coming up on January 15th!
If you think you’d like to present or host a workshop please submit as soon as possible.
I am particularly excited about this meeting because a) I don’t get to attend every year so this is the first time I’m able to make it in a few years, and b) this is a great opportunity to really get a bunch of community members to come together! Saarbrücken is on the high-speed rail network so it’s readily accessible from many places (now you have less excuses to not make it).
I love hanging out with y’all. It’s great to nerd out about photography and catch up. Sometimes it really helps to be able to speak face-to-face and this is the perfect opportunity to also be exposed to all manner of other Free Software projects (or to expose ourselves to others?).
Besides, how else am I going to capture some fun photos of y’all?
We have a few things planned for sure at the meeting and you’re going to be really sad if you miss them by not coming!
I really, really, really want to be able to add to this list with other presentations (or lightning talks, etc) that the community will give! I may even submit a couple of presentations to talk not just about the community but maybe about our technical work coordinating the forum and providing services for the projects (as well as invite other related projects to come join us).
We can make this an incredible and memorable meeting with a fantastic opportunity to meet friends in person and have a wonderful time!
With Stig Abell and Lucy Dallas

Over on my personal website I decided to stop using third party trackers and assets to keep from exposing visitors to unintended tracking. Third party assets expose a user to being tracked and analyzed by those third (or fourth, or more) parties and honestly this is something the web could use a little (lot) less of. I loved having stats early on when we started this crazy idea for a community and as I mentioned on my blog post, it’s a Faustian bargain to get stats at the expense of allowing Google to track what all the users of the site are doing. No thanks.
I figure it’s the eve of a new year so why not start it out right and reduce the tracking footprint of the site?
This all started by noticing that some new browser feature strips referer information from requests (thanks @darix) and we were using them to target specific areas of websites that we manage comments for. It came to my attention when I was reading the release announcement for digiKam 6.0.0 beta 3.
While fixing that problem, I found that once we fixed the referer requirement problem I was still seeing issues with Privacy Badger blocking our embed code. On further inspection it boiled down to using Google Analytics on our base domain (pixls.us) and having a cookie set by Google, which then got sent with embed requests from other websites (digiKam and darktable). This triggered the heuristic blocking by Privacy Badger.
Honestly, we derive very little value from the analytics for the price (privacy) we pay to use it. Better to simply remove it.
We still do analytics but we own the stack ourselves (thank you so much andabata!).
If you want to block our own analytics the domain is: piwik.pixls.us.
