and now the part of Yellow Submarine where John trips balls in the foothills of the headlands and thinks he's Fred Astaire
and is visited by Epona, Celtic goddess of horses.
@Leucrotta WEEEE ALL LIVE IN A PONY SUBMARINE
A PONY SUBMARINE
A PONY SUBMARINE
@Ylfingr here's the musical number from the movie in case you were wondering, since I'm pretty sure you haven't seen it;
@Leucrotta Oh, there's a MOVIE!
The only Yellow Submarine we know is the Beatles song, so yeah, I was quite confused. :3
@Leucrotta *copies link*
(psst: ?si=blah / &si=blah on youtube links is tracking junk and I'm pretty sure you can safely remove it!)
URL format infodumping
@Leucrotta if you're ever confused about how to safely trim unneeded garbage off a URL
this is part of the "query string", which is where the tracking junk generally lives, but also useful stuff. It looks like this:
?name=setting&name=setting&name=setting&...
So for instance, Youtube uses the "v" setting for the video ID. You gotta keep that. "si" is the garbage here. There are other ones for things like linking to a specific time in the video.
For things like, say, eBay listing links, the ID is the number in /itm/12345678/ and you can safely remove ALL the query string ?... stuff, it's all garbage. Amazon item pages similarly have the ID in the path like that, instead of the query string.
Firefox has a fancy schmancy new "copy without site tracking" feature, it works only on specific websites that are big enough that the Firefox people wrote rules for them. Thankfully, big websites are, well, big websites, so most of what you'll run into is likely covered.
Firefox stuff
@Leucrotta Firefox in general also has more neat features like this. You probably don't need cookie containers (officially called "container tabs") anywhere NEAR as much as we do, but for us they're indispensable! Instant multiaccount support, on any website.
re: URL format infodumping
@Leucrotta Neat! It's a relatively new feature; if it's missing, you might need to update, but you probably don't since our installed Firefoxen are pretty old. This one is uh... 128.0b9. (Yeah, yeah, "updating browsers is important for security!" but when they include garbage "AI" features or whatever it was Mozilla added recently that was crappy...)
Anyway it should appear in the rightclick menu for any link, tracking junk or not. Right below "Copy Link".
