If you think your grandparents would prefer the Windows 8 or macOS type UI, then GNOME is the way.

I think Xfce or MATE is vastly better tho.

Having a child adds approximately 58.6 tonnes CO2e per year.

The maximum average CO2e per person per year to reach the Paris climate agreement goal of a 1.5 °C, is about 3-10 tonnes. We could do this with a 0.01 fertility rate for a few decades, until we're not catastrophically overpopulated anymore.

Corporations aren't causing a mass extinction just for shits and giggles, they're doing it because billions of individuals buy their products and services. If the billions of individuals stopped buying it, the corporations would stop making/offering it. The rich cause more harm in the short term, but even poor people having more kids despite the biosphere not being able to sustainably support even a fraction of the current population, are more omnicidal in the longer term.

The former media 'shock jock' commentator has made a series of attacks on the pope, calling him an "imbecile who defends social justice", a "son of a bitch preaching communism" https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/argentine-priests-defend-pope-francis-over-shameful-milei-attacks-2023-09-05/

According to Luke 16:13 Jesus is supposed to have said "You cannot serve both God and money."

Luke 6:29-30 "If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them. Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back."

Mark 10:21 "Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."

Please, summarize the article instead of regurgitating their bad titles - or even better don't post links from sources that use bad clickbaity titles.

We don't have to let Lemmy devolve into Facebook/Twitter/reddit/...

Brother, can you spare an "n"? And capitals and punctuation marks?

I think non-abandoned factory farms are sad. If there was a hell, I'd hope factory farmers burn in it.

operating heavy machinery with the potential to kill people really shouldn’t be done by 16-year-olds.

14 year olds can get drivers licenses in South Dakota (source, which of course requires either scripting to view the text or opening the page source).

which lists religious belief as a group covered by the law

If followers of a denomination of the Invisible pink unicorn (bbHhh) are provoked by people wearing pink clothes because one of their holy books says such people should receive the death penalty, does that therefor make wearing pink clothes illegal in Sweden?

Saudi Foreign Ministry called on Sweden to "stop all actions that directly contradict international efforts seeking to spread the values of tolerance, "

Tolerance. They keep using that word. I do not think it means what they think it means.

How about tolerating freedom of speech against a death-cult?

"moderation and rejection of extremism"

The Saudi Foreign Ministry. That's like a fossil-fuel power-station asking a windmill not to release greenhouse gases.
