PSA: Youtube now tracks your account in shared links, allowing them to link your Lemmy account to your Google account. To prevent this, remove ?sl= and everything after it from links you share (until ＆t= if it's present).

The URLCheck app seems to bork the cleaning process on YouTube links. Had to fix it manually

I gave up.

Now I just add my social security number to the URL query params.

I really dont think that looks any healthier, tbh. Maybe more expensive, but not healthier.

Yup, I actually think it would be doable to make them look healthier just with the design but this guy failed.

That dude's talented, and he has the same accent as Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg
