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.

That’s so on-character for .ml
Why are you assuming malice when this is probably just a mistake/oversight?
Because of the way Dessalines and Nutomic consistently act?
Watch. They won't apologize or admit wrongdoing here. They never do.
They did patch it just now.
I wonder what their answer for this will be in the coming days.
They fixed it.
Everyone here will be ml banned for five months.
And nothing of value would be lost.
Just the normal entropy of things
of course they will. this is still software
before my instance went down i was gonna add on to this saying "at the very least he'd say something like 'good catch'" and wow he did say good catch lol
Because “when someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time .”
All I see here is a mistake. If that's unforgivable to you then so be it.
If it wasn’t .ml I would not assume malice
Lol you're on .world, what are you on about
I’m only on .world because Kbin isn’t around anymore.
As someone pointed out, as the admin of .ml is also the main lemmy developer, he could have obscured something like this way better in the code directly.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XZ_Utils_backdoor
This issue here is very different to the xz backdoor.
The xz backdoor was well obfuscated, planned out, and inserted by another actor.
This here is easy to notice, can reasonably be explained as a mistake, and can only benefit the og main devs of lemmy.
A "huh this is odd, also change yalls admin passwords" is appropriate here. Even if we got further indication it was malicious, it would still be far less crazy than the xz backdoor.
Both a strength and weakness of FOSS. There is also the solar winds hack for a proprietary analog in case anyone is curious.
Uh huh, just like how the instance/user block being horribly implemented to where it's just a barely functional mute is just a (4 year) "oversight".
Funny how their "oversights" just so happen to have benefits to their efforts to push authoritarianism
