Haha. They're changing the voting age. Not your ability to have a tattoo, cigarettes or get married without your parents consent or hundreds of other things.

It's about keeping power. Not about helping you or me as citizens.

What makes a fart dry vs wet? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Distance from a toilet. Further you are away, the wetter it's likely to be tending towards diarrhoea.

That they live in the 18th century with 21st century things. Religious fanatics all referring to the devil in him and Jesus saved him - separation of church and state but there's references to god everywhere and politicians don't get elected until they're reciting lumps of the Bible in every speech.

Yeah, quite true and well said. Or just a mate with a better voice (than we have).

We seem to have lost our society somehow. I don't care whether any one group or person is to blame. I miss it.

I was fairly convinced it would be a org, but humbled when I tried to guess which.

Nothing significant. Just best wishes for anyone applying (reddthat.com)
 

Went to uni last century here in the UK (native Brit).

Much much more difficult now for you all and I feel for you all. The idea of fees for our elite students is pure folly. Shame on them.

Good luck all.

Removal of old packages (reddthat.com)
submitted 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) by deadcatbounce@reddthat.com to c/fedora@lemmy.ml

I'm sure I saw somewhere some while ago a way to remove old/obsolete packages from an system-upgraded install. Packages that wouldn't be removed because they're dependencies somewhere still.

For example, the xorg drivers can be removed from my F40 when upgraded to f41 install. As if I'd installed it from the to-be f41 everything iso.

I can't find it from the documentation; can someone point me in the right direction, please.

I can't quite remember but I think it was an official Fedora package that one 'installs' which contains a script to remove obsolete packages from the prior Fedora version.

UPDATE: found it. https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/upgrading-fedora-offline/#sect-clean-up-retired-packages

[Possible bug] Sharing a post to Firefox makes Voyager into Firefox, and I can't get back! (reddthat.com)

Picking a random post from the list of posts in Voyager and then using the share facility to share it to Firefox makes Voyager look like Firefox with the address bar and so on.

However, when I want to go back to using Voyager flicking back - partial right swipe on my Pixel 7 Pro w/Niagara launcher - doesn't do anything useful and I'm still in a version/instance of Firefox with the Voyager icon.

Can someone double check that this does/not happen to them to an up-to-date Android phone before I report it, please?

Thank-you in advance

UPDATE: looks like it is my end from your comments, thank-you people. I'm going back from whence I came, shame faced. 😳

I'm glad. Voyager is my Lemmy of choice!

Maybe it's Niagara. There's a couple of stability fixes coming through. So here's hoping! Meanwhile I have a reeducation class to attend! 🤣

[pre-noob] What's the process for migrating from, in my case, Alexa, Smart Life to Home Assistant? (reddthat.com)
 

Hello all,

What do I actually do when I finally have a running instance (of containerised HA on a Raspberry Pi)? Delete all the toys from Alexa and Smart Life and start again in Home Assistant?

Is deleting everything the intelligent way to go rather than trying to transition?

My Google-foo is failing I did try to find an answer in Lemmy/Reddit/HA. Apologies if I miss an obvious place.

Thank-you in advance.

Is there a community for instrument learners, particularly piano/keyboard? (reddthat.com)
 

My early teen cousin is learning to play keyboard/piano. She likes to compose her own songs, and she's good at that, but perhaps could use some help with the basis rhythm.

I thought that a book of rhythms might help. Something like this, but it's going to be the wrong era for her on the surface, although the rhythms repeat through the ages. Encyclopedia of Piano Rhythm Patterns: Popular Piano Rhythms and How to Play Them https://amzn.eu/d/2JdTsST

Please point me in the right direction. Thank-you in advance

Abbott Freestyle Libre new user: hints please (reddthat.com)
 

Dear all

Just ordered my (first) trial Freestyle Libre attachment! I understand it's a v2 (flash) not a v3 (CGM). I don't think that they send v3 as trials.

Can I have any hints for anyone who has never used anything like that, please.

I think I saw that people use a bandage like thing to help keep it on, but hints about simple things like where to put it and showering/bathing would also be appreciated.

Thank-you in advance.

[Reddit] avoiding Reddit links in Lemmy. (reddthat.com)
 

Hi all

Is there an Android client that allows me to avoid Reddit posts which are currently crossposted and overwhelming my Lemmy timeline?

Something like Domain exclude as on the Relay for Reddit client.

Thank-you in advance
