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.

Amendments to the PayPal Privacy Statement Effective November 27, 2024:

We are updating our Privacy Statement to explain how, starting early Summer 2025, we will share information to help improve your shopping experience and make it more personalized for you. The key update to the Privacy Statement explains how we will share information with merchants to personalize your shopping experience and recommend our services to you. Personal information we disclose includes, for example, products, preferences, sizes, and styles we think you’ll like. Information gathered about you after the effective date of our updated Privacy Statement, November 27, 2024, will be shared with participating stores where you shop, unless you live in California, North Dakota, or Vermont. For PayPal customers in California, North Dakota, or Vermont, we’ll only share your information with those merchants if you tell us to do so. No matter where you live, you’ll always be able to exercise your right to opt out of this data sharing by updating your preference settings in your account under “Data and Privacy.”

edit: update title to reflect this is for PayPal USA users

This must be US exclusive as here’s my options in Canada… https://i.imgur.com/9mnQ5aw.jpeg

I updated title, thanks

Is this a thing for EU accounts, or does GDPR prevent it?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Seems pp rolled this “feature” out to USA only due to our lax regulations on privacy. Another user (in Canada) pointed out the option was not seen in Profile & Data

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Luckily my country has a standard payment system for every bank in the country so I don't to use this shitty ass service

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Thanks! Turned that BS off right now!

[–] [email protected] 37 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Thanks for the heads up 👍

Here's the direct link to disabling it but I assume Capcha or login will probably get in the way: https://www.paypal.com/myaccount/privacy/settings/recommendations

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

MVP for direct link, thank you 🙏

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Fucking legend. Thanks for the direct link and for (unintentionally) reminding me that it was time to change my PayPal password!

Off-topic, but did you see Linkerbaan got baanned? LOL

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I did. Hilarious.

And about damn time too.

Incorrect. It's in my UK PayPal account settings too and I turned it off.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Lol, paypal now has an option to store your SSN and passport info. What a scam.

Account deleted.

https://www.paypal.com/myaccount/privacy/ -> Delete your data / close account

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Oof. Thanks. I deleted mine as well. Never really use it anyway because I was always afraid of what they might do with my money.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Misleading. This only applies to the US.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Replied to another poster as well, but this setting is present in my UK PayPal account too and needed turning off.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Where can i find this within settings?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Data and Privacy > Personalized Shopping.

If you don't have that option, you're not in an affected country.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Well, I guess non EU countries would be more accurate then.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago

Was gonna say... The EU would have been up their arses with a cactus for that.
