Bitrot, to asklemmy in Customs Officers: Have you ever laughed out loud when someone gave you their passport and they had an… unusual name?

Heaven forbid we know a common name.

The aqueduct?

Bitrot, to upliftingnews in Texas church launches program to help fund transgender kids’ healthcare
@Bitrot@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

This is the kind of church that evangelicals love to hate, starting with women leadership and continuing with their use of “no bullshit” on their site.

If you or your family needed the money and they were offering, you might feel differently. Not sure what the point of the con would be, Texas isn’t trying to prosecute people who leave Texas yet.

Bitrot, (edited ) to linux in Hans Reiser Apologies For Social Mistakes, Comments On ReiserFS Deprecation From Prison
@Bitrot@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Yes, which is why it is a little odd for the article author to include it without context, because we all immediately think of one social mistake that has nothing to do with Linux.

Bitrot, to asklemmy in Does tinned food have any nutrition or is it just empty calories?
@Bitrot@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Interestingly, UK foods destined for import in the US market use the US label and do include that information. Heinz Beans have 50mb calcium, 1.5mg Iron, and 370mg potassium per 130g serving, for example.

Bitrot, to asklemmy in Unused Airtag slot
@Bitrot@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Depends on tolerances, I’d probably see if a Chipolo or some other tracker would fit. Android ones are coming very soon.

Bitrot, to asklemmy in What's a proper response to another dog attempting to mount your dog multiple times and the owner really not doing anything about it?
@Bitrot@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

I find this usually gets the attention of the other owner as well.

Bitrot, to asklemmy in Best/usable free Evernote alternative
@Bitrot@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Starting December 4th free users are limited to 50 notes and one notebook.

Bitrot, to asklemmy in What hobbies help you minimize or avoid navigating commercialism?
@Bitrot@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Many hobbies have some sort of cost associated, I would hope materials to do the hobby aren’t necessarily seen as negatives.

People have been doing HAM radio (and learning it), electronics tinkering, woodworking, fishing, etc for ages. There are upfront costs to get equipment, although used stuff abounds, ongoing costs are materials or components that one wants. For some things once you get it working you don’t necessarily have ongoing costs.

I see commercialism as exploitive, just purchasing things not so much.

Bitrot, to news in Paris police shoot woman at station after threats
@Bitrot@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Train station seems like an important detail.

Bitrot, (edited ) to privacyguides in Governments spying on Apple and Google users through phone notifications, U.S. senator says
@Bitrot@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Curious about this too. From what I could find, for those it seems like the push is being used to wake up the app and tell it to connect to the server where it grabs the data and then creates the notification locally. Even if a bare minimum is used there is room for traffic analysis, and I imagine Google can easily tell the app being targeted for the push, but it shouldn’t mean the contents of the displayed notification are necessarily what was sent through the server. It’s hard to find info without digging because consumer-facing stuff just calls every notification a push notification.

The alternative is an app keeping a constant connection open to the server, which understandably mobile OSs don’t like. With push only the one service needs to keep an open connection to provide updates for all the apps.

Bitrot, to asklemmy in Customs Officers: Have you ever laughed out loud when someone gave you their passport and they had an… unusual name?
@Bitrot@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

There are people with the last name Null and they tend to have issues with poorly written applications too.

Bitrot, (edited ) 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

That isn’t automix, that’s smart shuffle.

Automix is only enabled on a few playlists, and not Liked songs.

If you’ve ever listened to a dance album where one song merges seamlessly into the next, automix does that. When you hear a playlist using automix it is very noticeable.

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

Everything you do on your own instance is against a cached version of the original post that is saved on your instance. Your instance sends updates in the background, the other instance can be entirely down and you can still browse, comment, and vote as normal on your own. The updates will just stay local though.

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

I imagine they couldn’t get the rights to The Lord of the Rings in order to adapt book 1 of Shannara.
