YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.

All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.



Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:

**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.



Rule 11- Posts must actually be true: Disiniformation, trolling, and being misleading will not be tolerated. Repeated or egregious attempts will earn you a ban. This also applies to filing reports: If you continually file false reports YOU WILL BE BANNED! We can see who reports what, and shenanigans will not be tolerated. We are not here to ban people who said something you don't like.

If you file a report, include what specific rule is being violated and how.

Since the internet is now slop, ive been doing this with almost any search, and its sooooo good. Kagi is better, but this is free. I was getting so pissed off with how slopified search has become for everything.

Car repairs, gaming console questions, home repair, recipes, anything like that is SO much better with date range set to around before 2013 ish.

Unless you need the most up to date news, this is a great method. Only downside is remembering to change my search setting every time !

Yeah... when you are searching for solutions to linux stuff, looking too back in time can bite you because "that is not used anymore"

but good tip! Thanks

Guys, have you heard of this thing called Bitcoin? You can get a bunch of them for like $3, worth a try to see what happens!

[–] SlicedPotato@feddit.dk 8 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Maybe we could use Bitcoin to buy pizza? I'm sure we won't regret it in 10 years!

Mined 0.5 BTC in 2012. Purchased a TTRPG rulebook worth $40. I never played that TTRPG.

I try not to think about it.

[–] thallamabond@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

But, how much is the rulebook worth now?
