boomzilla@programming.dev · 2 pts · 2y

That's not just YT. A lot of services and apps (e.g. amazon or xitter) you're logged into and share links from add parameters (stuff behind the questionmark) to the link that identify in the end who has shared it.

Try to shave off as much as possible from a shared link and test if it still works. To get a feel for what you can delete from the link, try to navigate to the destination (e.g. YT-video) inside a browser with which you're not logged into that service and which has preferrably cleared its history, cache etc. Then compare the link from that browser with the one from the browser you're logged in with.

This isn't exactly a formal writing space. I post almost exclusively from my phone. I'm a terrible type on my phone, freely admitted, but I do what I can to correct things. Sometimes it just gets missed, though. I make an effort to edit, but at the end of the day, this is just going to a bunch of dummies on the Internet, not someone who matters to my life. I'll put in exactly what I feel is the appropriate effort.

thesmokingman@programming.dev · 1 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Sometimes people genuinely don’t know correct syntax. If you’re going to call that a shortcoming, you’re an ignorant walnut. Intellectual superiority is a shitty way to pretend to be better than someone else. It often incorrectly assumes everyone types the same language with the same proficiency which is a very provincial assumption.

Gboard does it too. I'm fairly certain I use the possessive form of "its" more often than the contraction "it's," but the damn thing sees an s at the end of a word and is like "that's GOTTA be a contraction!"
