YSK that YouTube shadow bans people (for a time) + implications to creators

I’m having my comments I made the past few days receive zero engagements. It’s not just me losing the early bird lottery too; my replies to a highly engaged comment has zero likes, while several comments immediately after me has double digits. It’s nothing incendiary at all, just normal people’s comments. But something...

YSK that You can now generate posts for Lemmy/Kbin, search for posts, and redirect posts from foreign instances (with Instance Assistant v1.2.5)

Why YSK: It’s a free and open source browser extension we have been working on, which might make it easier to use Lemmy & Kbin. This update in particular brings a few features that make the sites a lot easier to use, in particular the ability to jump from a post on one instance to the same post on another. Since the URL...

YSK: you can use a flashlight to direct cockroachs in the direction you want.

Why YSK: If you’ve ever had cockroaches in your home, you would be familiar with the feeling of unease that comes when they escape your clutches while roaming freely within the crevices of your home and soiling your belongings along the way. Before that happens, you can use a flashlight to direct them to your ‘striking...

YSK about bismuth subgallate, an "internal deodorant" that makes your stools and flatulence not smelly

Why YSK: there are times when you need to not be stinky. A multi-day outing with friends staying in one house comes to mind. Taking bismuth subgallate will make even your vilest poops and farts smell like absolutely nothing. In the US, it’s FDA approved for that purpose and comes in chewable tablets.

It is a good idea to post a TL;DW when posting a video link.

I have noticed that some users here don’t have time to watch videos. I think on most of the video links I share here, there are always users commenting that it is better to read an article than watching this video. To be honest, I don’t like all this complaining. It is kind of annoying....

YSK that if you live alone and have a pet, you should carry a card in your wallet to notify the appropriate people of your pet's existence.

Why YSK: There are a lot of people these days living alone with pets and if anything happened to the owner, others may not know to attend to the pet. If something happened to you, a coma, an accident, death, etc, your wallet would be the first place anyone would look for info about you and it would probably be the fastest way to...

YSK: You can still see recommendations feed in Youtube with History turned off

Why YSK: There is a recent update in Youtube that force user to turn on history to see videos in recommendation/home tab. You can get over it by turning the history version ON and then watch a video and make sure it’s shown in the History tab. And now you can turn off the History and you will still see the recommendations/home...

YSK: Browsing "ALL" at work might get you pulled into an office, even with NSFW off.

Why YSK: It appears several Lemmy Instances are flagged as suspicious and at least 1 instance intentionally using the name of ransomware. A couple of the big enterprise monitoring suites (Fortiguard, ZScaler) will flag your account and may end up with you being pulled into an office for an explanation, or worse....

YSK: GrapheneOS - private & secure mobile operating system with Android app compatibility. Developed as a non-profit open source project.

Why YSK GrapheneOS is a step above the rest. I understand it’s ironic de-google phone/tablet with google hardware, but it just works better then anything else. Permission toggles, pin scrambling, auto-reboot, scopes, MAC randomization, isolated user profiles, longer passwords, sandboxed apps, open source firmware, no bloat &...

YSK: Simplewall is a free tool to have more control over your internet on your desktop. (For Windows)

I found about this a few months ago, it’s a free tool that makes the task of managing the internet access of programs a easy one. For example, you can select exactly which process can access the internet manually, of course blocking some system things on windows will disable the connection totally until reactivated....
