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. 🤷

Would be easier to know how old a kernel release is without looking it up.
I concur, but it would be much easier to make the major version the current year (as many projects do, and Linux should imo) rather than the whole project’s age at the time of a release.
Linux is only 34 years old, btw.

Phew! I am extremely relieved to find out those videos are fake.
It’s pretty fucked up of TikTok to have tricked us like that, but I’m sure under Larry Ellison’s new leadership they’ll sort things out.

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.
Physically obtaining the devices is insufficient; they need ongoing software updates and other network services too.
The IDF could/would absolutely not be doing this if they did not trust that Apple is a very committed partner.
You can also observe from Apple’s job listings that they are.

I have to ask: what’s with all the obsession with immutable distro?
I guess the promise of having updates JustWork™? I don’t currently use one but I see the appeal.
However FWIW, unlike its namesake ChromeOS, the “Nixbook OS” this post is about is not actually an immutable distro: the instructions are to install NixOS normally and then clone the nixbook repo into /etc/nixbook and run its install.sh. Among other things it installs an update service which runs git pull on that repo as well as running nixos-rebuild boot --upgrade and flatpak update --noninteractive --assumeyes etc.
Cheers to this guy for what he’s doing, but the name is a little confusing. This approach works but it is not nearly as robust as the immutable distro paradigm people infer from name.
i checked their website to see if these are real; disappointingly they are not. they do actually have a “conductor’s coal” scent, though.
Important context!
They had to change this because newer laws like the CCPA classify some ways of transferring/processing data as a “sale”, even if no money is exchanged.
What? No. Do you really think their “sharing” with “partners” who are “providing sponsored suggestions” doesn’t involve money being exchanged? 🤔
Here is an abridged version of that FAQ entry consisting only of substrings of it:
The reason we’ve stepped away from making blanket claims that “We never sell your data” is because […] to make Firefox commercially viable […] we collect and share some data with our partners, including our optional ads on New Tab and providing sponsored suggestions in the search bar
All of the other words in there implying that they had to stop promising not to sell user data because of some (implied to be unreasonable) “LEGAL definition” of “sale” is imo insulting to the reader.
