Bitrot, to news in Drivers stunned by sudden shutdown of Michigan trucking company
@Bitrot@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

WARN applies to companies with 100 or more full time employees, so they could potentially be just shy of the number. There are also some exceptions that could apply. I worked at a place that from the layman’s reading you would think had an exception, they were sued in a class action and ended up having to pay some (although a tiny amount to most of us). It seems like the exceptions might be a pretty high standard to meet.

Bitrot, to chat in How much does a creator's worldview influence whether you use their tech or consume their media?
@Bitrot@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Strongly, generally, although I also try to see who they are today versus who they might have been. It also depends on what they are saying and less on what somebody tells me they believe. For example, if someone doesn’t understand or is uncomfortable with a trans person but at the same time believes everybody should have the rights and ability to live life as they choose (basic tolerance, essentially), I don’t consider that transphobic specifically. Some people would though.

I avoid altogether, look for alternatives, or do my best not to support them financially at least. So I avoid anything written by Lunduke, I don’t avoid all of JKR because I like the franchise, but I get anything secondhand.

Bitrot, to asklemmy in What are the best e-readers on the market?
@Bitrot@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

It is not compatible with Kindle unless you remove the drm and convert it, but it can be done. It is compatible with Adobe Digital Editions which is pretty much what every store except Amazon uses.

Bitrot, to linux in What's the best way to remote into a linux machine?

RustDesk Has worked pretty well for me on the rare occasions I need it.

Bitrot, to privacyguides in It seems Gen Z is just fine with parents knowing where they are all the time
@Bitrot@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Google Latitude was doing this in 2009 and I knew millennials who used it. Much more widespread now, though.

Bitrot, to asklemmy in Is there such a thing as too much privacy?
@Bitrot@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Google also assists those law enforcement agencies with plenty of useful info.

Bitrot, to asklemmy in Would you say enthusiast grade or business grade products are better quality?
@Bitrot@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Business grade will also be chugging along while the enthusiast has replaced the thing five times over.

I really think it depends on the product. People talking about low end keyboards or whatnot aren’t far off, but I’d take a good business laptop any day. It won’t have fancy RGB lights but will keep working forever.

Bitrot, to asklemmy in Who's going to pay for the reconstruction of Gaza
@Bitrot@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

They won’t in this case. Israel can do nearly anything, the US will even condemn some of them, but that won’t affect support. As Biden has said many times “if there was no Israel the US would have to invent an Israel to protect her interests in the region.”

Bitrot, (edited ) to asklemmy in Lets start a new Lemmy holiday tradition. What's a song you've been digging lately?
@Bitrot@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Entire album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess by Chappell Roan. I don’t like every song, but most. It’s a lot of fun.

Also the song Grown Up by Raffaella makes me laugh.

If you use Obsidian for work you generally need to pay for the commercial license, with some exceptions. I like to mention it because people grab it from flathub without reading the license terms. This is not including the sync fee.

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

If something else depends on it then it shouldn’t be removed, it’s only removing things that are not used elsewhere.

Usually just reading through the packages it’s listing and double check what it’s doing is enough. If something is removing a ton of gnome and you’re not trying to remove gnome, that would be an issue. If something is trying to remove the kernel (unless it’s an old kernel) or grub that’s also worth digging into. I’ve never run into problems with it, I don’t think it’s common these days.

It also doesn’t require a session to be logged in at the local console.

Bitrot, to upliftingnews in Henry Kissinger, America’s Most Notorious War Criminal, Dies At 100
@Bitrot@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

(It’s from the movie The Naked Gun)

Bitrot, to linux in A symptom of linux past traumas
@Bitrot@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Make sure you test out those images every so often too. I recently got a new computer and used clonezilla to copy a system over, only to find btrfs restores fail spectacularly without warning until you boot into them.

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

I’ve never watched Disclosure nor finished the book, but it seems like one of the few they should have been able to get right.

I enjoyed Sphere, but I haven’t read the book and watched the movie close enough to compare them.
