The problem is that climate factors in deaths are rarely obvious (to the average person) and this contributes further to general discord. Between worsened natural disasters and heat-related lifespan reduction (incl. knock-on effects like habitats of disease-carrying insects and rodents expanding further from the equator), we’re already in the millions, easily.

Eh, maybe God just has a sense of humor. After all, platypus.

This reminds me of one of my favorite quotes:

Never argue with an idiot. They’ll drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

I’m proud of them for not giving that a cringe acronym like JUMP, BOOST, EXCEL, or, oh gosh, LEARN. 😵‍💫

I would say on social media we’re surrounded by current fake friends, while IRL we’re surrounded by potential real friends.

Well if they’d rather die they’d better do it, and decrease the surplus population!

Dune is not a white savior story though, and neither is Dune Messiah (which Frank Herbert wrote in part to make that message as clear as possible). While Paul is trying to be a savior figure, he’s using everyone for his own ends the entire time. The top comment on this wonderful video says it best:

Dune’s entire historical narrative has always been, “Beware of the Tyrant wrapped in Savior clothing.”

A small local payroll company. Her boss is just a good guy who likes to treat people.

This looks like impressively detailed claymation.

My wife’s boss (owner of the company) took all the employees and their spouses on a four day Caribbean cruise about a year ago. Was really nice. Granted, there are only like 10 people in her organization.

Wow, I first thought “weinermobile” before reading the title, then after skimming the title my brain doubled down and thought “weiner… submarine???”

So as someone who actually believes in God (unlike most of the commenters so far)… wat?

Oh jeez, what the heck? I have no idea, Lemmy seems to be doing something it thinks is smart but is, in fact, not.

EDIT: Fixed! Apparently you have to include the https:// part or the formatting goes bonkers. No idea if it’s a Lemmy thing or an issue with my instance.

Mint is FOSS and free of hardware restrictions, so if you don’t mind having to teach yourself how to fix the odd issue here and there, it’s probably the better option. That said, macOS is definitely a more seamless and full-featured experience (whether that matters to you is personal preference). I use it plenty at work, it’s pretty nice for the average user. Personally, I switched from Windows to Mint years ago, but now I’m on KDE Neon because I needed Wayland support and fell in love with KDE Plasma in the process. Mint/Cinnamon should be stable on Wayland within the next year or two though, so that’s cool.

Lots of weird stuff, but you’re unlikely to damage anything.

Duck Duck Went this for you:

There was this musician in North Korea…

The problem is asking a fundamentally subjective question in a way that presupposes it to be objective truth.

If you instead asked,

What are some advantages that Linux Mint and macOS have over each other?

…you might get more useful answers—from people, that is. AI will just give you what you think you want to hear.

I see what you’re trying to do, but the real problem is streaming services that prioritize the shareholder and new user signups over existing customers’ experience.
