I was also on the grandfathered Google Play Music pricing and saw the same email for increasing the cost of the individual sub.

The pricing makes sense in that context, since now the family plan is just barely cheaper than two individual plans (whereas that wasn't the case before).

This'll be a tough call, given I use YTM almost daily, and watch a lot of Youtube besides.

It's not the worst strategy (and is actually referred to as 'peppering' your password)... but if your primary use-case is websites and mobile apps, using a password manager like Bitwarden and randomly generated strong passwords is still a better strategy (and probably faster too, since you don't need to type it out manually anymore, and/or remember which flex you used when creating your 'peppered' password).

This is a good approach if you have to login to services that aren't via a web browser though - e.g. Remote desktops etc.

America really is an amazing country. I've never even heard of about half of this tier list.

I don't think broad brushstrokes are helpful here - regular people can be real assholes, and we need to balance a public servant's individual right to privacy with the public's right to transparency.

Some jobs such as Police Officers, I have no qualms with filming while they're in uniform or otherwise on-the-job. But I can also see how a blanket approval could backfire, e.g. some aggrieved person decides to stalk some poor guy who's only job is to center divs on some government website, just because they find out he's a government worker.

Wait... People are calling the emergency phone line after getting scammed? Wonder if that's just Zoomers being too dumb to avoid scams but not dumb enough to think an emergency phone call will help.

Can confirm that the first doesn't work on Alexandrite, but the second works as expected.

I think you're right and it's frontend-specific - I'm using Alexandrite and it shows perfectly, but I just checked the default Lemmy UI and it doesn't handle it properly either.

Tbh it sounds more and more like it's a kbin interaction problem rather than anything you're doing...

Not sure if there's any way for you to resolve it other than getting a Beehaw mod to update it for you.

If you look at the source between your post and the OP of this chain, you can see that they haven't got any special link formatting, but the links will all work correctly for any lemmy user no matter their instance - not sure if kbin handles it correctly.

e.g. [!destroy\_my\_game](https://programming.dev/c/destroy_my_game) vs [[email protected]](/c/[email protected])

I suspect it's just a convenience thing, since a number of your links point to kbin.cafe search results.

I think Lemmy uses ! for instances because @ is used for users - e.g. I expect that @[email protected] will automatically link to your profile on your instance (and link to your profile on any other viewer's instance - e.g. for me it should link to an aussie.zone URL).

It's probably a design decision to differentiate communities from users.

Since you're posting to a lemmy instance (beehaw), you should probably use the lemmy style - i.e. !community@instance - I don't think there's any need to create an explicit link since I think most UIs will format it for you.
