Maybe they’ll send them to Madagascar.

You can make them into stickers and put them into messages, can even have them moving. That stuff was an advertised feature though.

It is up to the home instance of the user, and problematic nodes are defederated.

Instances can choose to operate either blacklist or whitelist mode. Most are on blacklist mode, where new instances federate automatically.

Bitrot, to asklemmy in How does federation actually work?
@Bitrot@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

It doesn’t. Even if you defederate with an instance, you can still comment and vote on posts from that instance that predate the defederation and people on your instance will see them, it just won’t go to the original one.

Bitrot, to linux in Ending support for Windows 10 could send 240 million computers to the landfill. Why not install Linux on them?

There have been. Creating another one creates another one. Not that someone shouldn’t, but it will always be one among many.

Bitrot, (edited ) to asklemmy in Which items/products were you once able to get from local shops on a whim that you now more or less have to order online?
@Bitrot@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

A surprising number of those things have ended up being at my local Best Buy (including both of your examples), but lower level components like resistors are impossible to find. Even at hobby shops there are only components specifically related to rc vehicles, nothing miscellaneous.

Edit: I guess this was a common opinion. You’d think interest had picked up with so many electronics “maker” things popping up with Arduino or the Pi.

Bitrot, (edited ) to linux in [Q] Removing/deep cleanup of installed package doesn't work as expected. (remove, purge, autoremove)
@Bitrot@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Ah, I can duplicate this behavior too. I think it is probably related to emacs being a metapackage. It does not include emacs itself but forces the install of emacs-gtk. In my mind removing the metapackage should allow you to autoremove dependencies, but people have broken their systems badly with this behavior so it may have been changed or it’s stuck behind some configuration option.

Removing emacs-gtk itself will work as you expect. You can also install emacs-nox for a cli-only one that is smaller.

Edit: there is a setting called APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections that by default includes meta packages and I think is the cause of this.

@Bitrot@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

It is a very typical way of doing things, you just have to read the output and make sure no important packages are in the list.

Your command should be working. It won’t remove manually installed dependencies but should take care of automatic ones. You can check an individual package with apt show and look at the APT-Manual-Installed field.

Bitrot, to asklemmy in What's an alternative to Spotify that doesn't play you the same fucking songs over and over?
@Bitrot@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Pandora sort of has some of that but not so far in depth. You can customize with crowd favorite songs or hits or deep cuts or discovery. Their library is much smaller though, and you’re stuck in a genre based on the station for the most part.

$1,000 to a campaign in 2008. A majority of Californians voted that way, btw. Good chance many of those millions of voters (and campaign donators) make your tech.

He’s done other things like his covid noise, continuing to use that one 15 years later shouldn’t sway many.

Bitrot, to asklemmy in How do you strike a balance between being present in the moment and planning for the future?
@Bitrot@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

My coping mechanism is hyper-planning. I don’t live in or enjoy the present much, but have never been late on a payment.

Bitrot, (edited ) to linux in Thoughts on this?
@Bitrot@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Most recent Stable release was December 13, fixing a CVE. Someone is working on it (Red Hat still pays a few to do so, at the very least).

What greeter are you using? GDM? You can disable auto login from the command line.

Assuming gdm, as root edit /etc/gdm/custom.conf and set AutomaticLoginEnable=False.

Bitrot, (edited ) to asklemmy in Which books have the worst video adaptation?
@Bitrot@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Braid tugging and poorly written female characters aside, a very large number of the interpersonal problems in those books could be solved in anybody ever talked to each other. The nobody ever trusts anybody or talks about an issue gets kind of irritating. Even if he was going for realism it is pretty over the top.

Kind of like how a large number of Seinfeld episodes would be over in five minutes if they had cell phones.

Bitrot, to asklemmy in Cookie purchase or hell?
@Bitrot@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Because I like going through life with a 2-5% discount on everything I buy.
