“It’s not our fault, we just produce cheap goods, the pollution is the fault of the people buying the goods”
If your products are cheap because you’re polluting, you are the problem. If you weren’t polluting, your products wouldn’t be as cheap. If your products weren’t as cheap, they wouldn’t be competitive on the capitalist market. If they weren’t competitive, they wouldn’t be bought.

No countries recognize a right to protest at any time and location. Imagine if someone could protest the government by just forming a human circle around the leaders shouting, “you can’t move us!” or by standing in a library and yelling constantly.
- Bash scripts which updates my system (not completely, snaps and flatpaks seem to be immune to this). I am pretty sure you can’t do this on Windows.
Can’t you just add a line in the script
flatpak update
Exactly this. Most G20 countries had reduced coal emissions but China and India (plus Indonesia and Turkey) had increased coal emissions per capita. Because those countries account for ~3 billion people, nearly 40% of the world population, and an even greater percentage of G20 population, the total coal emissions of G20 has increased.
I’m agreeing that depleted uranium weapons are a bad idea. I’m disagreeing that someone is illiterate for not believing an opinionated source.
I could easily quote Wikipedia just as the prior comment quoted OP’s article:
The U.S. Department of Defense claims that no human cancer of any type has been seen as a result of exposure to either natural or depleted uranium.
Surely the DoD has at least some scientific research, no? It would be foolish to take this quote and believe that depleted uranium is safe, and it would be even more foolish to insult someone’s intelligence for not doing so.
What are you on about? @rogrodre@hexbear.net was doing exactly the thing that you’re describing. Treating statements from an organization called “The Coalition to Ban Something” as fact, without any other review, is only believing information that confirms your beliefs.
That’s not the same thing at all.
The comment above mine is more akin to wanting to ban water because the Coalition to Ban Dihydrogen Monoxide said so. Or wanting to ban abortion because Americans United for Life said they’re immoral. Or to increase fossil fuel usage because OPEC said it isn’t bad for the environment. You’re citing an opinionated secondary source without even considering the other side.
If you want facts, you go to unbiased, peer reviewed primary sources. Or at least hear both sides. If you want opinions, go to a “coalition to ban something.”
The comment 2 above mine was saying that depleted uranium’s effects are up for debate. The next commenter provided only one side of the argument and claimed that it was fact, even mocking their literacy for not seeing it.
If only the world were so simple that we could trust the organization tasked with banning the substance rather than reading primary sources.
I agree that depleted uranium shouldn’t be used, but your quote from the International Coalition to Ban Uranium Weapons means nothing.
But for the Quran, “in public” is sufficient to meet the standard of “at” them?
Hinduism often has a belief in, “sanctity of the cow, … the belief that the cow is representative of divine and natural beneficence and should therefore be protected and venerated” (Brittanica).
One could argue that eating beef is inciting and degrading to [probably a select few] members of Hinduism.
I left Windows because of telemetry, lack of customization, and tedious updates. I just wish I had bought a machine with AMD rather than NVIDIA because I’m still on X.org for optimus-manager.
You could always set yourself up to switch to Linux in the future. Every time you buy new hardware, make sure it’s Linux-compatible. It may take years, but changes in industry typically are slow so that you can still make money in the interim.
I would just use Arch. Everyone on Arch is rolling release, so they all experience the same problems at the same time. The Arch community plus the Arch Wiki make it easy to fix when it breaks. If you’re on non-stable Debian, you’re more on your own.
My guess is it’s 6 users that they’ve identified as doing a bunch of distribution but only have their reddit names to identify them
I didn’t know “children” included 18 and 19 year olds but not infants.
Regardless, I hope that you and your family were able to enjoy the holiday and feel safe wherever you were. Freedom includes doing what you feel is best, and nobody should fault you for wanting to keep your kids safe.
I’m sorry that you expect each unknowing consumer to have the intellectual capacity to understand the geopolitical consequences of each product they by based on the environmental damage and human rights violations during its production.
It’s almost like you’re the fool for expecting such a flawed system to work. Saying, “well, you paid me to do it!” does not absolve you of guilt.
