The 2 trillion figure is the minimum: it could be more than 6 trillion every year, and the elephant in the room is that more than half of those are factory farmed - which means humans are responsible for torturing them their entire lives.

Aren’t the A and Q keys also at terrible positions?

On my Mint 22 Wilma setup using Xfce, using Firefox 139.0 (64-bit) mint-001 - 1.0, when I click the “upload image” button here in lemmy, I see small thumbnails for .jpg and .png files, but not for .webp.
Maybe the .webp format is too new?
Ctrl++ doesn’t work in my “File Upload” dialog box to make the thumbnails bigger.
Edit: I always rename files I download to give them descriptive file names, starting with the most important word first.
Am I having a stroke, or are the photos of the people in that article something you’d expect from a broken AI clickbait site, rather than an article by a public service broadcaster?
“One of the most effective ways to avoid consumption in the first place, Dr. Rees said, is to have a smaller family.”
Yip, human overpopulation is the biggest cause of anthropogenic climate change (compare it to other causes), and the root cause of it. It’s also the root cause of the anthropocene extinction event and of that becoming a mass extinction event, and of factory farming, and of industrial fishing, and of habitat degradation and destruction, and of unsustainable pollution, …
If I remember correctly I had the same start: tested Knoppix, tried Mandrake for a short time, then Ubuntu which I used for several years until Gnome 3 when I switched to Xubuntu for several years, but when snap happened I tried Debian, then Mint for a while, but I’m now trying MX.
What do you think their lives will be like after the climate change cascade?
“If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.” – Timothy Snyder @timothysnyder.bsky.social
Can anyone post a link and the date+time? I don’t want to go to bsky because of their unethical policies like link tracking.
(Wouldn’t it be better to copy paste the texts of things like this, instead of screen caps?)
In South Africa, the law determines that if something’s labeled “Product of South Africa” it can’t have any imported ingredients (tho the packaging can be imported).
“Produced in South Africa” can have imported ingredients - and I’ve been boycotting almost all of that because of the omnicidal carbon footprint of importing things. It’s easier in this country to live ethically tho because we can grow almost everything we need: from food to textiles; tho our energy production is some of the most unethical in the world.

If you value your time, then maybe only watch finished shows with excellent word-of-mouth/ratings? If it declines instead of ending while still good, then stopping where people suggest? Possibly also skip the initial seasons if it only gets good later.
If you want to talk around the water cooler about the most popular zeitgeist shows, then maybe make exceptions for those that are the buzz after their 1st few episodes like Game of thrones, tho you should be prepared to quit the show after a few consecutive poorer episodes indicating its almost certain decline. (PS: I’d recommend stopping before Game of thrones’ 6th season).
While the temperature forecast is for 33 ºC, the heat index in the capital yesterday was up to 41. Forecasts for the next 2 days, are up to 40 on the heat index in the capital. Yesterday the heat index was over 40 in several other areas, with a maximum of 45. https://www.pagasa.dost.gov.ph/weather/heat-index
If you don’t want to be complicit in causing a mass extinction event by making the biosphere unlivable, then by far the most important thing to do is to not contribute to human overpopulation which is the biggest and root cause of catastrophic anthropogenic climate change as well as the biggest other atrocities.
“Aid organizations the world over scrambled to prove their work saved lives, seeking permission from the State Department and the U.S. Agency for International Development to continue operating.”
Maybe those who proved they were doing good, were the ones then to get the axe. The cruelty is the point - especially I’ve found, by the kind of people who claim to be Christians. Maybe lying by saying ghosts and souls and gods and heaven are real, it inculcates lying into all aspects of a peoples’ actions.
Rubio’s lies, and these actions are helpful in getting Trump more support from the kind of people who voted for him. The deaths and cruelty is the point.
It’ll be interesting to see a character following the teachings of Jesus Christ, like
So there’s no chance the character will be a capitalist, troop-supporting, neo-Nazi. Right?
“In November of 2019 Kennedy sent a letter to the prime minister, obtained by Scott Kennedy and shared with Vanity Fair, speculating that the measles outbreak might be attributed to the vaccine itself.” https://www.vanityfair.com/news/story/robert-kennedy-jr-shocking-history
Try “to function as a society” when the biosphere becomes unlivable. The biggest and root cause of catastrophic anthropogenic climate change is human overpopulation:
The fact that the biggest and root cause of a mass extinction event is being reduced, is a good thing.
I can’t find it now, but I saw a paper that said that India is one of 8 countries in the world where electric cars (charged from the main grid(s), no matter what time of day) release more CO2e than fossil-fuel cars, because of the amount and terrible quality of coal used to generate most electricity in those countries. The few cars charged only from renewable sources like wind/solar/etc. are of course vastly less omnicidal. Anyone have any good citations?
If this is true, would it also be true for coal-to-electricity trains vs more straight fossil-fueled trains?
Even trains in these bad coal-to-electricity countries might be less harmful than even the best renewably powered cars, as long as the trains aren’t regularly running with minimal passengers.
