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

I’m pretty sure Lemmy strips it
Why would I use Windows?
Alternatively, you can (probably should) decide to not upload any photo to social media.
Feels like an honorable site would make the uploader aware of this and offer a checkbox or something to do it for you.
Every site that allows image upload in existence now strips this data by default, but they do it on their server so they can get it first.
For linux I use exiftool
exiftool -all= image.jpg
Can it be made into a Cinnamon extension or even a tool with which I would run it for all new image files while idle (if needed)?
I'm sure it can. I found several tutorials on how to add it to Dolphin's right click context menu, I just haven't taken the time to do it.
For iPhone you can make a simple shortcut to do this. Here’s what it would look like:
You should be able to prevent your device from adding the location to your photos. I never felt the need to have it, given the date and the photos around, it is easy to remember where it was.
most social media sites already do that for you . Unless you upload the image as a document, most media sites automatically remove the exif and compress the img.
Bots including Mark Zuckerberg is going to keep all your data before "doing that for you".
You want to use the Metadata Anonymisation Toolkit not trust Microsoft to not fuck you
I bet there are some poorly-built automatic scrapers out there harvesting EXIF tag data and not being too careful about sanitizing what they find.
I've always been curious how one could verify that all that exif data was certainly removed fully
There are EXIF data viewers. You can just look at it. ExifTool and so forth. You can also use it to remove such data if you don't trust Windows to do it for you.
At least a subset of EXIF data can be viewed in Windows Explorer in your file properties. Technically any device or app can store any custom field within the EXIF data so long as it fits within the data size limitations, so it's certainly possible there could be gumpf in there that Explorer won't display.
I trust windows about as much as every kgb employee
