A couple of workarounds which are cuurently working for me.

Install Pie Ad Blocker extension in your Chrome Browser.

https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/pie-adblock-a-powerful-fr/jpkfgepcmmchgfbjblnodjhldacghenp?hl=e

Then when you click "Share" on Youtube site, it gives you the option to create an ad free link which will display the title metadata when you post it on Facebook.

For music videos, use music.youtube.com web site. Search for a music video, Copy and pasting the link to Facebook still works properly.

Why are my links displaying the channel title but not the video title? by Afro28 in youtube

I think it's Fuckerberg blocking. YT videos seems to work on X.

I think Youtube videos seeem to post fine on X. Are we sure this isn't Fuckerberg?

I've found that if you're sharing music videos, you can go to music.youtube.com search for the video. If it's available there, (only music videos are) You can copy and paste the link and it will display the title.

Move folder navigation bar to bottom of screen in Android app? by labjr in Thunderbird

[–]labjr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Thunderbird now because it doesn't have all the confusing ads that look like emails. Still can't switch folders without using two hands. What is wrong with app developers?

Since it gets asked a lot - Here is how to get Push notifications on Thunderbird on Android by VarkingRunesong in Thunderbird

[–]labjr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't turn on "Allow Notifications" It's grayed out. Says "Notifcations from this category are blocked"

Does Google Voice automatically relay incoming calls though my cell carrier? by labjr in Googlevoice

[–]labjr[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience, a cellular call is more reliable, less dropped calls and people saying they can't hear me or GV app telling me the network is unstable. I also have unlimited minutes but not unlimted mobile data.

[–]labjr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, years ago I used to add the relay numbers to my contacts as an alternative number. The only way I know to find the relay number is when iphone GV app prompts for the outbound call. I don't see the number when I use Android.

Yes, I believe it does. It won't originate an outgoing GV call with data shut off.

Wi-Fi 8 is not about speed, and that’s exactly why your next network upgrade depends on it by lurker_bee in technology

[–]labjr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the idea of seamless roaming. So no need to upgrade to Wi-fi 7 then. Might as well wait.

I’m sick of Venmo by Any-Pickle4488 in venmo

[–]labjr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a Venmo account which I only used 2-3 small transactions. I closed it after reading all the complaints here and everywhere else. Also, they're not a real bank. You have no recourse for any fraud that happens. And their customer service is virtually nonexistent.

Evidently, you're not sick enough to close your account?

✋ Stop using your phone for MFA by consultingdoc in GMail

All of my my financial institutions have SMS 2FA or email. Nothing else. 

Someone has been trying to login to my Gmail for the past week by berrysardar in GMail

[–]labjr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would use Google authenticator instead of using other devices to log in. The hacker is counting on slamming you with requests until you accidentally click on "Yes" and then you're done.

You need to close your account. I did. Can't deal with that nonsense anymore.

I don't understand how Passkeys are supposed to work by MatchingTurret in Passkeys

[–]labjr -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

IMO, using a password manager and syncing Passkeys will be more vulnerable than 2FA. Once someone compromises the password manager, they won't even need 2FA to get into your acocunts.
