Comment Re:Simplicity got lost, Apple, can we have it back (Score 1) 95

I could see an alternative design approach that beats Apple's focused on simplicity and ergonomics. Even all black and white only.

When I look at something, I don't want to be distracted by the things that might linger underneath, I'd like the system to support my attempt to focus.

I switched on transparency on my GF's (KDE) computer and for the first time she started to understand the concept of multi tasking.
Before she would shut down whatever she was doing before starting up something else.

Comment Not the scientists' fault (Score 1) 118

However, I do think the climate scientists made a HUGE strategic error yelling that the sky is falling from every rooftop they have access to and now Mr & Mrs J. Doe are bored and numb.

The problem isn't with the science or the scientists, it's the fossil fuel industry doing everything it can to discredit science & distract people.

Comment Live births greater than international immigration (Score 1) 113

There have been more than 400,000 live births in California every year since 1979. In contrast, the article says that 300,000 people immigrated in 2024, and even plunged to 40,000 a few years earlier. Well, 400,000 is greater than 300,000 so no, immigration is far from the only thing propping up California's population.

Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark and has for many years had US bases on the Island.
Denmark is a member of NATO and has never objected to more US military support on Greenland.
In other words, it would be foolish to change the present agreements, except for who gets the proceeds of the mining.
The Greenlandic population has made it clear they are not interested in a US take over, the Danes even less.
Besides, the MAGA plans are very similar to what Hitler and Putin did when invading other countries.
