time will tell

So we can agree that we’re discussing and juxtaposing against each other very vague things, that might as well turn out to be completely false?

Extinction event level but not really, (…)

Much like the predicted scenario of allegedly upcoming climate disaster, correct?

I never said Toba didn’t happen.

I never said you did.

We’re just debating the degree it affected the entire species

We’re not.

We’re on the way to acknowledge the fact that the mankind withstood “extinction level” events in the past.

Multiple times.

You should read the entire article.

I’m glad YOU did. This way you can learn that there were “extinction level” events in Mankind’s history.

And we survived it.

I mean, the history of the planet involves mass extinction events when 95% of species died off so… not really?

And yet, life is still abundant, diverse and thriving. Isn’t it?

This is wrong. So very wrong. “Stop flying as much”? Dude, the majority of people that I know didn’t fly airplane a single time in their lives. Small percentage flew perhaps a few times in their decades-long lives.

The lists misses more reasonable things:

• ditch whatever modern “high energy demand” fad there is, be it bitcoin mining or electric car
• spend less time on activities that rely on energy consumption, be it online browsing, or playing high-demand video games
• vote for whatever party there is, that wants to build nuclear power plants and postulate to bring cheap energy to every household
• vote for whatever party plans to do something about urban infrastructure, so that mass transit and bikes become plausible alternative to a car
• as much as possible avoid Chinese stuff, avoid enterprises that outsource their work to China, yes it means skipping yet another iCrap announced
• do not exchange hardware/electronic/digital devices that often, ffs the cpu/gpu/memory values do not matter that much
• don’t change your diet, but consider improving it - eat less, waste less, do not overindulge on delicacies
• learn as much as you can about things that reduce your reliance on the society and the products/services it provides

…and as usual, the Mankind survives, adjusting to new reality, be it its own mistakes, or natural disasters.

Life finds the way…

I’m a bit drunk, what is my typical state to visit the Internet and the title merged into “sodomite” before my eyes.

Jesus Christ, isn’t the perception a delicate thing…

Because you need to be reduced to sex, fear, and overspending. This way you won’t think and will be easy to manipulate.

Buy yourself a cookie!

I agree, but the question wasn’t about the percentage of cases, but about the possible reason to choice Ubuntu over Debian…

Yeah.

Those people seem to migrate from Reddit, but still carry it in their hearts and minds. 😑

No. The responses are the way they are, because people who gave them are already thinking they joined some elitistic “muh sikret klub!” group.

Simple “eh, it won’t fix the problem, and here’s why and how YOU can help” would be preferable, but no, special elite force of lemmy underground is too privileged to bother.

Thank heavens not everyone is like that. Saves the number of times I have to hit “block the idiot” button.

Ubuntu is what grew out of Debian.

But it’s radically different ENVIRONMENT these days.

Hard to tell.

Whole Linux movement has plenty of classes to take, if it wants to become more relevant. And social skills is one of the most important among these…

Support & community come to mind.

To a typical user/newcomer to servers it’s easier to find some solution for Ubuntu, than for Debian. And boy, can Debian users be full of themselves… 😑

Removed by mod

Yeah. It’s good that there are users who actually take time to explain some stuff, rather than just hissssssss like rabid vipers merely because somebody - oh no, what a preposterous idea! - asked a harmless question.

I find this comment section a prime example of dickish hivemind seething over nothing.

There’s a dude, obviously quite fresh in the ways of Mastodon. He probably doesn’t realize all the nuts & bolts supporting the system and how it all works. He is asking a question that is logical, but it needs clarification, like “it doesn’t work like this, my man”.

Instead he gets “Hsssssssssssssss, selfhost it, hsssssssssssssssssssss, interloper, hsssssssssssssssssss, you want to destroy this place, hssssssssssssssss…”

Get a life, eejits.
