We had a similar attack in Germany a couple of weeks ago. Every time something like this happens people call for more security. But it’s a media thing, we talk a lot about these acts of terrorism but far less about stuff that happens daily and we’re used to. That’s why I share this list I collected over the past years. What are we afraid of?

Deaths per day in Germany
2,800 Total
930 Cardiovascular diseases
630 Cancer
350 Smoking
200 Alcohol
55 Medical malpractice
30 Suicide
10 Traffic accidents
2 Murder, including 1 femicide
0.02 right-wing Terror
0.0004 left-wing Terror
9,300 Cows
151,000 Pigs
1,800,000 Chickens

A curated list of (not only) German piracy sites.

I’m really interested in an immutable distro. I installed Silverblue on a friend’s laptop, tried it, liked it but I’m on Linux Mint and I don’t want to switch. Immutable Mint Debian Edition would be great. :)

Everybody: Fuck Peter Thiel, fuck Elon Musk, fuck Honey, Fuck PayPal

Everybody: unflinchingly using PayPal

I love Mint! It’s not for those who like to tinker and break and fix thinks, because it just works out of the box. External audio, Intel CPU, Nvidia card were no problems in my setup. Calling Mint a beginners distro is like a car mechanic calling a sleek, fun car that’s going smoothly a beginners car. I’m not part of some elitist cult, my OS isn’t my personality, I’m not a masochist and I don’t crave innovation just for the sake of it. I tried a couple other distros but none felt as polished and accessible as Mint.
Be sure to use workspaces (strg+alt+arrows), I ignored them for too long because Windows doesn’t have them.

This is a little offtopic and a Lemmy cliché, but:
Go and try Linux Mint! I was a Windows fanboy for more than a decade, now I’m all team Linux. It doesn’t run all games (I’m not a huge gamer, so no expert) but most stuff i want to play is no problem at all. I edit videos with Davinci, produce music with Bitwig plus there so much great free open source software. Working in Windows nowadays makes me nervous. It’s so predatory and dishonest. Try to get off while you can, it won’t get any better. And it’s so much fun to explore a new OS with an opened mind and some curiosity.

Never meet your idols.
I seriously stopped being a fan of any public figure because people seeking public attention are mostly off-putting at least. Then come the narcissists and psychopaths, it gets only worse.

Yeah, no…
You’re no fighter for truth and justice here. You parrot Wikipedia, you cherrypick by citing only the two paragraphs from people who (don’t even fully) disagree with him, you have obviously not read a single one of his books nor looked into the guys history. You don’t reply to anything I said, you just repeat your false claim.
I told a guy who eats 3 eggs a day to not do it, linking a text which is completely backed by science. So please get out of the way, troll, you’re slowing progress down.

I think I made my point. Still not sure about yours. Maybe you’re … trolling?

Well, How Not To Die sold a lot of books, but he claims to give ALL book sales to charity and encourages readers to rent his books from libraries and to friends. Before his bestseller, he was on the road for years giving speeches, sleeping in his car. He doesn’t sell any supplements, merchandise or snakeoil. This is not your typical behavior to get rich fast, is it?
Yeah he wants to spread a message, and this message is based on science. My public health insurance and even the states society for nutrition (Germany) shares the same recommendations by now, 10 years after How Not To Die was released. To me, he is more like the guy who discovered that leaded gasoline is highly harmful to humans and can’t stop talking about it.

What’s the agenda?

You discredit a webpage that cites all it’s scientific sources and call Michael Greger a quak because two people think some aspects of a study he cites are inaccurate?! That’s your argument? The study has pissed off the entire food industry, of course there are people who disagree with it. And even these two don’t question the basic message: Whole food plant based diet is by far the best diet to heal our bodies and our planet. Is that his bias?
What are you fighting, Commie?

And this is wrong? How?

He lists all his sources, what is your source for calling him that?

Why not?

Too much!

RIP Carl Ruiz

It’s a little boring but not bad news. Why the hate?!

I don’t think so, this is rather complex video editing software and I never heard about anyone running it in a VM. Maybe I’ll give it a try someday.

Exactly the same setup and experience here. Work forces me to use an inferior application in windows instead of a more powerful option in Linux and it boils my blood.
