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.

I used to fly united quite a bit and it used to be pretty good. But these days my options for flying for work are united, delta, and southwest and I usually choose delta because they don't charge you for shit and you can have both an overhead carry on and a small bag plus free internet on the plane. In the end they're all shit, but I'm going to pick the lesser of the shits each time. Same reason I have Comcast internet.
I use Comcast because I have one choice and it’s Comcast
That’s why almost everyone who uses Comcast uses Comcast.
You use Comcast because you have 0 other choices
I use Comcast because I have 1 choice
We are ~~not~~ the same
WISP does not count as an ISP. Fucking T-Mobile is not a replacement for Internet.
Depends. It was dogshit when it launched, but now I get over 100mbps down. I did have to relocate the wireless modem box they gave me, though. And of course, YMMV, as did mine at launch.
Gaming on 5G is pain
The rest can opt between Comcast and AT&T. FML.
Same for me, and as shitty as Comcast has been in other places, I've had only two non-power related outages with them in almost 7 years here. I think their service quality varies not only state by state, but even county to county in some places.
You lost me. I was with you right up until that point, but then you went off the deep end.
As a begrudging Comcast customer myself, allow me to explain. They are the least shitty option because the only alternatives in my area are 5G and Verizon DSL. Verizon DSL has a max download speed less than 1mbps.
So yeah, I use Comcast. And I hate it.
My choices are AT&T and Comcast. Both are shitty and treat you equally shitty, but Comcast actually works most of the time ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah I’m choosing Aol or Starlink before Comcast
As a happy Comcast customer, my old ISP still only sells plans up to 100 Mbps and it routes all traffic through a city that's over 200 miles away.
