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.

MODERATORS
Nah, they sure do want to know, though. It's not businesses business to know what book you are reading on lunch break, it's not businesses business to know what newspaper you are reading at work, it's not businesses business to know what social media sites you are reading.
I am of the perspective that if you are accessing that book or newspaper or social media sites using company equipment and network resources, then the company, as the network operator, sets the terms and conditions of you using their network. That can extend to SSL decryption of all connections or blocking unwanted programs or websites or nothing at all, it is all down to the company policies at that point since they own the equipment and pay for the ISP connection.
I don't think it's a good idea to use company networking equipment or connections with the same expectation of privacy (or control) as an internet connection you pay for. (eg. Home ISP, wireless carrier, etc) Even consumer ISP connections have certain well-known protocols blocked at the carrier as part of the terms and conditions of utilizing the ISP's connections. It may be your traffic, but it may not be your network it is traversing. Most network operators have an inherent interest in the traffic traversing their networks.
You're perspective is a very authoritarian hellhole of a perspective I've gotta say. If you think just because the company controls the network connection they get full obliterating rights to your every waking moment and you get zero levels of privacy then we are on very different sides of worker rights.
That completely misconstrue's my statements. Have a nice day.
No, I understood you, I didn't misconstrue anything. We just differ massively in opinion. You think the network operator gets to decide the content that flows over the network. I say the network operator pushes packets and has no right to interfere in your private life.
The move to further and less breakable forms of encryption between clients heavily suggests that the tide is turning in my direction.
