  • I can’t really imagine a benefit to --autoremove except for keeping old packages a bit longer before removing them.

    Eg, if you run apt --update --autoremove upgrade -y once a day you’ll keep your prior-to-currently-running-version kernel packages a day longer than if you ran autoremove immediately after each upgrade.

    To make things more confusing: the new-ish apt full-upgrade command seems to remove most of what apt autoremove wants to… but not quite everything. 🤷



















  • I think you misunderstood me

    Go ahead and post the same link for Google job listings. I’ll wait.

    My comment was in response to your comments (bolded below) in this thread:

    I was already thinking of getting a Linux phone next, this is helping to seal the deal. Fuck Apple the genocide enablers.

    please do explain how Apple is doing anything here. If Israel wants to provide their military with iPhones they’re going to no matter what Apple does.

    They don’t have to do business with/in Israel.

    That still will not stop a nation state (especially Israel) from getting their hands on Apple devices.

    My point was not to say that Google is better than Apple here - in fact, unlike Apple (as far as I know), Google has actually built AI tools specifically tailored for Israel’s genocidal business requirements.

    My point is that if Apple wanted to boycott a country (which in the case of Israel they obviously don’t, which job listings at their R&D centers are just one of many points of evidence of) it would actually make it difficult-to-impossible for any substantial part of the boycotted country’s government to rely on using iPhones.

    (Unlike Android derivatives which can easily be used without direct reliance on Google’s services…)

    As an aside, while I would not use iOS (due to it being proprietary), it is hard to dispute that (for most adversaries, at least) compromising it is generally much more expensive/difficult/unlikely than Android. So, given that Apple is very friendly to them, the IDF’s policy decision to use iPhones makes sense.
