What computer life hacks are your most used? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] hansolo@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 days ago

To be pedantic, keyboard shortcuts aren't hacks. That's the intended use of the thing, and long lists of keybaord shortcuts exist so that people can find the ones that work for them and use them. Just because most people don't do it doesn't make it a hack.

My favorite keyboard shortcut is Super/Windows key and spacebar switches keyboard languages. That's not a hack, though.

Closer to a "hack" is going into an android phone with ADB and disabling bloatware manually.

I know this was from a week ago, but I just saw something relevant.

There's a rarely used Ancient Greek word, κακοθερής, which means "unsuitable for summer." Most modern people view this as saying there's a word that means you're "bad at summer."

In Modern Greek, the word summer is καλοκαίρι - a compound word that is basically "beautiful weather" used as one word. I couldn't agree more. So I'll just go join my fellow olive oil enjoyers in worshiping the magic of the season.

Would this help me tell Google and GTM how much I love cheese? in c/firefox@lemmy.world

My goodness, NO! Not at all! I would never! For sure not. No idea why you would think that.

That's nice to say, but Google doesn't care. They will sign you a shadow profile and still track you across every site with google trackers. Which is most sites. I don't even need to have a Google account for this to ~~poison~~ HELP! their actual db entry.

Thanks, that's helpful. There's a public GTM container ID that is emerged in the JS for the site. So the extension would just (in theory) take that and replace the usual keywords with cheese. That way you can (assuming this works) automate something hitting a few sites every hour hitting serval container and spreading out the culpability.

I tried a few iterations earlier today, and I can't confirm in console if it's working is the thing.

Would this idea help me tell Google/GTM how much I love cheese? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I'm wondering if this concept would work...

I love cheese, and sometimes find that websites don't have enough info about cheese. So I'm trying to help Google and GTM know that I have a significant interest in cheese. Only cheese, nothing else.

I want to code an extension in FF or Chrome to use in a VM that looks for a GTM container ID and injects data into that container that sends tags for cheese, cheese products, cheese accessories, charcuterie, etc. And even injects data showing large purchases of cheese. it would replace GTM tags on a site with my custom selection, just to ensure there's no question - we're all about cheese here.

This will save Google time, because otherwise I would have to rely on several weeks or months of searches about cheese. Instead, if every site I visit helps me express an interest in cheese, that would be great!

I would, of course, only use this extension myself, and never share such a thing. In the extension options, I would be able to select tags to share, just in case I end up with a similar interest for pine trees, marshmallows, or tomatoes.

Thoughts? Open to any suggestions here.

Meanwhile, I'm concerned about actual citizens being deported.

What's going on with Lemmy.Today? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I left lemm.ee and jumped to lemmy.today. The last day or so I've been getting errors of the site having expired certs and Voyager won't even connect.

Is this just me?

Same. I'll take 110F/43C any day over 10F/-10C. 85/35 is my happy place.
