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 cannot imagine any responsible dev who would read this notification and say anything other than "Oh shit, yeah, that's really bad," and fix it on the spot before they continue with whatever they had visited Lemmy to do. Like I say, it's relevant that it takes literally seconds to grasp the issue and fix it.
I don't fully disagree with you, I get it, github issues is where issues with the software belong. I wasn't trying to be a jerk by suggesting that you do it. Anyone from these comments is welcome to. But, also, I am sort of curious about what their reaction will be. Finding out that kind of thing is interesting to me.
If they are actively uninterested in fixing it, however they get made aware of it, then that's really interesting.
Pretty sure it’s an oversight but devs are overworked, really overworked
There are many more important things to fix before this.
But an issue will put it in the todo list
They’re so overworked that they spend most of their day policing other’s thoughts.
I wouldn't give them the benefit of the doubt, the devs are dodgy fuckers.
But you use the software they make…
I'm on PieFed for exactly that reason.
Every admin seems a bit shady to me….
Your information, the data itself, goes through their code to reach most people on lemmy.
Damn man, you got me again!
I think this was the comment that pushed me to actually contribute to lemmy code. Thanks
Okay Mr.Gotcha, please don't make any more hard hitting takes I can't take it.
Within the last hour, dessalines has posted three things about communism that are longer than the fix for this issue.
Edit: Everyone's got the right to do whatever they want to do. I'm not trying to accuse anyone of not spending enough time making software for me, just because occasionally they might want to do some other things with their life. The thing I'm trying to emphasize with this is how short the fix is. It's seconds. It's not one of those "but you have to recompile, what about this other branch" or anything like that. It's literally a fairly critical security fix with 100% of the fix in a one-line change to a documentation file.
Wow you typed a LOT to defend not making a GitHub issue. That energy redirected to writing a GitHub issue would be stellar.
Why don’t you a pull request and fix it yourself ? If you have the ability to recognize and know what to fix, and if you care, do it!
I know I’m too lazy to help them, what is your excuse ?
I swear, I might just get off the fence and help them myself on unrelated issues, it’s making me that unsettled
Oh I abso-fucking-lutely can imagine seeing someone spamming me with DMs or making a public post to try and shame me instead of commenting on the actual source project going straight into my "ignore this twat" pile. This post is just a cry for attention. You're trying to be some sort of hero, saving us from evil or some shit.
Go make a GitHub request like a reasonable normal person and stop cluttering up others feeds with this inane bs.
I am not typing here in the hopes that they will fix it. I am typing here to communicate to other users what's up with it. Whether or not to fix it is up to them. You're welcome to your opinion.
Bullshit. In another comment you literally complain about them posting comments(3 communist comments I think you said?) and not fixing this because in your words it should take less time to just fix it. You also say that their response(or lack of) to this specific post is interesting to you as proof of their inner motivations.
Furthermore, if you didn't want them to fix it, then tagging them is only to bully them.
You're so full of shit you can't even keep it straight since you posted this an hour ago.
A lot of people, I think, would appreciate knowing if there's indication that their software might be doing something sketchy to them. You might feel that my appropriate response about it should be to shut up, shut up, shut up!, but I don't think I will. When it comes to issues of trust and security in software, it's usually not that good an idea to just silently fix it and not talk about it so nobody's feelings will be hurt and no one will feel bullied.
I've posted the patch and recommended that someone post a PR about it. I do think it would be good if it gets fixed. If the Lemmy devs claim that me being a twat is a good excuse for just leaving it as is, then like I said, that's a super interesting turn of events.
Attention whore on an imaginary crusade. That's all you are. Should change your name to Don Quiote.
