You Should Know
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 guess I do think there's a non-zero chance that somebody might find out. With advances in LLMs perhaps it will be possible to create a model that can recognise your internet posts by your writing style and/or certain facts or anecdotes you've mentioned more than once.
Hah, indeed. I was just playing off the John Wooden quote “The true test of a man’s character is what he does when no one is watching."
There's another quote (I think from one of the writers at Forbes) that was modified to "... when everyone is watching", which I think holds water, too.
Edit: apparently I was half right; https://www.forbes.com/sites/walterpavlo/2012/10/23/character-is-what-you-do-when-everyone-is-watching/
Fair enough, I'm not aware of that quote, but that makes sense. But yeah I do wonder if future employers will be able to find your online posts more easily, using LLMs. So it's probably important to only say things that you can defend.
I'm more worried about false positives then an LLM actually being able to track me by writing style.
That's a good point. But I still worry about possible genuine positives. For example, if i criticise a foreign government online because of things like human rights abuses, what if that government can use an LLM to identify me and other critics of them?
Maybe I'm just being paranoid though.
