This is entirely speculation but the fact that there are active wars in the continent might affect how the data is classified. I don't know how the article you posted defines homicide. There are some rules here https://www.unodc.org/unodc/en/data-and-analysis/statistics/iccs.html and it seems that deaths during war conflicts might not be counted as intentional homicides. Latin America hasn't had many wars but had/has many conflicts involving guerrillas, cartels and political groups. Is it possible that many of the resulting deaths are counted as homicides whereas similar violence in Africa is counted as, for example, civil war deaths?

It also depends how much you like the activity. I'd rather do my job for 2 hours than cook for 1 hour.

Interesting idea, I'd never thought of that. It would almost change my mind if only different software respected that distinction. There are many forms using toggles and many option pages with checkboxes without a save button.

Ah yeah, don't you love f-droid's impossible to read 5-line toasts that randomly appear when something in the background fails?

The colors too. It's pretty clear where ON is when it's between blue and grey but when it's between red and pink who knows which is which. The best would be a label that doesn't change and the words ON and OFF on either side of the toggle but that looks terrible so nobody does it.

  • If it can be done without a touch screen DO NOT use a touch screen. And if you use physical buttons, they should have tactile feedback
  • Toggles are just more ambiguous over-designed checkboxes

Why does swiping along the bottom to switch apps rearrange them so going back and forth is unpredictable?

This has been driving me crazy in MacOS where the three finger swipe up gesture from the trackpad rearranges everything. Add some other weird ux choices and you can't switch between two windows without looking at the screen.

I usually hate Christmas songs except for Carol of the Bells. That's just an amazing song regardless of the Christmassy lyrics. It's sad that most places that play Christmas songs don't include it.

Thunder sees it as a link without a preview. Firefox on my phone sees the preview but it's still a link. It probably looks ok on a pc.

 

Edit: I've no idea why this got uploaded as .avif but it seems I can't change it.

How do you hike with three cats? Do they just roam around you?
