In the U.S.A. there are two types of accreditations....

Why YSK: Because some people may want to use old reddit’s interface and might be used to it’s look. To choose the instance, put a /[instance name] after that url, or use the option given by the site itself...

Why YSK: Did you know that throughout history, there have been cases where animals were actually charged with criminal acts? It’s pretty surprising, right? These stories give us a unique glimpse into how societies have dealt with the actions of animals and how the legal system has responded. By learning about these cases, we...

Why YSK: Google returns reddit results very often when searching, which many of us want to avoid clicking, to avoid sending traffic to reddit....

Why YSK: Tor provides a secure, anonymous access to the web to people who can’t do it carelessly like we do (journalists and citizens of authoritarian countries for example)....

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...

Why YSK: It’s a really cool challenge where each day people post their map interpretations of the theme of the day (points, lines, etc. - see graphic). You can learn a lot and see cool and unexpected data. The challenge is happening on all social media platforms, but I’m specifically mentioning Mastodon for obvious...

That’s a lazy solution without installing Peertube/Piped/Invidious etc,

Why: You can find better sound for less money if you learn how to read a Spinorama....

Why YSK: The granny knot is the most common reason as to why show laces seem to be undone so easily. It’s caused when the Starting Knot & Finishing Bow don’t “balance” each other. Recognizing this can help you make your shoe knots much more secure....

The Online News Act passed last Thursday and would force platforms like Google and Meta, Facebook and Instagram’s parent company, to strike deals with Canadian media publishers for sharing, previewing and directing users to online Canadian news content.

There’s been an add-on called Privacy Pass for a few years now. This plugin gives you 30 passes for CF and 5 passes for hCaptcha when you solve one. For example, once you solve 1 captcha for Cloudflare, you will not see 30 captchas again! It will automatically pass....

I built this for myself some years ago and used it a lot to find many interesting niche subreddits. Today I expanded it to also help myself and others find interesting niche communities across the Lemmyverse!...

One financial lesson they should teach in school is that most of the things we buy have to be paid for twice. There’s the first price, usually paid in dollars, just to gain possession of the desired thing, whatever it is: a book, a budgeting app, a unicycle, a bundle of kale. But then, in order to make use of the thing, you...

Why YSK: after yesterday’s security incident many instances have reset the session tokens which your browser remembers. This is causing issues....

“The term natural gas does not explicitly convey the fossil origins of such gas, leading to potential misunderstandings and hampering policy-making,”

I’ve been running notado.app primarily for myself for the last 3 years. Like a lot of you, I am moving over to Lemmy from Reddit, and like a lot of you, I learned so much from the comments I read over years and years on Reddit. I must have hundreds of saved comments from Reddit in my Notado account at this point....

I saw this in another thread on /c/Showerthoughts. I think it's important for this to be circulated widely so that the broader Fediverse community is aligned. We don't want admins second-guessing their decisions when users start infighting. We should be united in our thinking and ready to protect our platform.

I read his name in “Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72,” but I never really understood who he was. This was back when the Democrats were the racist party and the Republicans were the party of Lincoln, decades before LBJ and Nixon tacitly agreed to exchange those positions. Here’s what he said in 1948:...

Repost because original post got deleted due to missing YSK in the title. You should know why so so much software you use is so awful, and this article (partly) explains it.

If you want to be online, but want to block internet to certain apps like work apps, messaging apps etc, and continue using rest of your apps, you can do it using this app....
