    #ProTip before you start a long session online, put an album of music on. Not a playlist, just one album. Ideally one about 40-45 minutes long. When that album finishes, the sudden silence gives you a "kick" (like in #Inception) that lets you know you've been online for a long time, and it's time to take a break.

    Here’s a free #English #ProTip.

    If you’re wondering if you should say “you and I” or “you and me”, delete the “you and” and see if you sound like Cookie Monster. Switch if you do.

    “You and me should go” yields “me should go”. Use “I” here instead.

    “That’s good for you and I” yields “That’s good for I”. Use “me” here instead.

    Kitchen #ProTip: got a pot with burnt food stuck to the bottom? Soak it overnight in a solution of water and salt. In the morning, the burnt scum will lift right off.

    #Firefox #ProTip: Stop videos from autoplaying! (Updated for Firefox 63!)

    1. Go to `about:config` and convince it that you know what you're doing.

    2. Search for `media.autoplay.default`.

    3. Double-click `0` and enter `1` if you want to always block, or `2` if you want to be prompted for every site that tries to autoplay (which can help with some sites that don't work quite right with blocked autoplay.)

    4. Enjoy your significantly-more-pleasant browsing experience!

    #Protip: use a version control system like Git and just REMOVE old or unused code. Don't get attached. I hate to see commented statements or hidden user controls.

    @LWFlouisa #ProTip if you replace the "youtube.com" with "invido.us" in a YT URL, you can share a video with people without exposing them to goOgle JS, eg:

    @ayachan #ProTip the #fediverse is not the #birdsite. There is not central authority that can kick people out. That's what federated means.

    #Protip: Display proper, full dates in your applications. "Two weeks ago" and "A month ago" isn't searchable in any meaningful way. #LookingForOneItemButFindingHundreds

    #protip: If you have two versions of the same song on an album, put one first and one last. I get that if this is a CD this does not solve the problem, but how many people really use CDs these days? I know it's not zero, but it's pretty low.

    #ProTip keep digital photos in folders, named with date, place, event info that will remind you what they are. Otherwise you get photo soup
