The Xfce file manager, Thunar (4.18 with en-US as language), also has "Create Folder..." under the File menu, and in some contexts in the right-click menu.

Under Preferences, Behavior, it has both "directory" and "folders".

man ls uses "directory" only tho, and of course mkdir.

• 77 million voted for Trump in 2024.
• 75 million voted for Harris.
• 89 million didn't vote.

I think some of the 89 million didn't vote because being actively complicit in genocide is an ethical line they will never cross.

I think the big difference between those who are prepared to vote for evil, and those who will never vote for genocidal parties; is how far they think ahead. Those who only look at the next 4 years, will keep voting for the lesser evil and make the world more evil even if they win; while those who look at least at the next 7 generations, will never vote for such evil parties.

For the Democrats to get votes from the non-voters, they have to convince them that crossing the genocide-line is OK, and that causing a mass extinction event more than 4 years from now should be ignored.

For the Greens to get some of those non-voters, they have to convince them it's better to do the right thing and be on the losing side for a while, because there's a chance (like in first-past-the-post UK, where the 8th biggest party, the Greens, now regularly poll better than both of the duopoly parties (Tories and Labour]) that others will eventually vote for the ethical party if they see more people doing it.

And Hudson Bay.

Anything else in the correct position?

The numbers listed here are quite low as a percentage of the 1-3 trillion fish slowly tortured to death every year by the fishing industry on purpose.

Scottish creel rope kills:

• 6 humpback whales
• 30 minke whales

UK-only vessels, annual bycatch killed estimates:

• 120 tonnes of "protected" sharks, skates, and rays
• 10 000 seabirds
• 1 000+ endangered Atlantic salmon
• 1 000 harbour porpoises and common dolphins
• 500 seals

Globally

• 400 000 seabird deaths from drowning due to gillnets

Orders of magnitude worse suffering is caused by factory farms where another 1-3 trillion fish are enslaved in continuous torturous conditions their entire lives.

"The reform does not mandate two rest days per week. [...] create the conditions under which a four-day working week becomes practically achievable for the first time for a significant portion of the Mexican workforce."

Mexico is one of the few countries with only a 1-day weekend, along with:

• Colombia, Bolivia, Equatorial Guinea, Honduras, Hong Kong, North Korea, Pakistan, Philippines, Uganda, and India (Sundays);
• Djibouti (only 40h/w tho), Palestine, Iran, and Somalia (Fridays); and
• Nepal (only 42h/w tho) (Saturdays).

I’ve never felt any better eating 3 meals a day. I did gain weight faster, though.

If you want to lose weight, eat more calories in the morning and less in the evening.

Fast decarbonisation [...] shift away from overconsumption towards “sufficiency”. This would involve a sharp reduction in labour hours and the use of raw materials, along with big changes in consumption patterns, food habits, land use and forest cover.

Green parties (excluding the capitalist German and US Greens) have had this as the priorities on the platforms for decades. But the vast, vast majority of people choose to instead vote for the greedy, short-sighted, sociopathic parties that are instead increasing

• CO2e emissions,
• consumption,
• hours of work for effectively less money,
• factory animal farming and industrial fishing,
• habitat destruction, ...

The boss is the voters who keep choosing to vote for narcissistic sociopathic candidates.

I've only ever voted Green, I've never voted for any omnicidal capitalists.

It's not "propaganda" making more than 90% of people choose leaders who will continue pushing us towards a mass extinction event, more genocides, oligarchy, etc.. It's that almost all voters are as greedy, short-sighted, and sociopathic as the people they keep voting for.

Should we save about 1.4 to 3.7 billion wild birds a year, by ending the pet cat industry?

"The magnetic field is vital to our continued existence. It helps keep the atmosphere we breathe in"

I knew about reducing how much cosmic radiation we receive, but not about protecting the atmosphere:

"Many scientists have argued that the magnetic field is crucial for protecting the atmosphere from erosion by energetic particles coming from the Sun." https://science.nasa.gov/earth/earth-oxygen-magnetic-field-linked/

Also, "the planetary magnetic field has followed similar rising and falling patterns as oxygen in the atmosphere for nearly a half billion years, dating back to the Cambrian explosion, when complex life on Earth emerged."
