Nice…I meant, I gave my 7yo (at the time) a computer we put Mint on it. He is 9 now, so by 19 I think we will see how it has changed his skill level vs the gen pop

I’ll let you know in 10 years.
It seems pretty simple to me.

My boys love this game.
Loads of replay value.
Awesome to also have it to teach others how to play. If she has that teaching spirit, this game is great.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is it racist to oppose illegal immigrants?English
1·1 month agoIt depends on where you are.
e.g. in NZ, we don’t have a problem with illegal immigration, but completely legal “temporary migrant workers”.
The issue, isn’t the people, it’s the load on already stretched infrastructure. Because they are “temporary”, they are not factored into the calculations for infrastructure spending.
This wouldn’t be a problem, if a short team need was being met, but it isn’t… There are always temporary workers, because we as a country can’t fill all the jobs from local supply.
With birth rates and other immigration, our population growth is around 1.5%, not the 0.5% we target our spending at.
If we spent at a rate that accounted for the real population growth, everything would work better for everyone.
Well after a cup of that…there will most likely be shit
So Linux Mint then!

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How would you propose we actually combat climate change?English
9·2 months agoYou are asking two how to questions “combat climate change” and “reduce emissions”
To realistically combat climate change:
- Admit that we need to try geoengineering (we are already doing this with all the CO2 and CH4 going into the atmosphere)
- Weather it is SO2 injection or cloud seeding to artificially increase the albido; we need to reduce incident solar radiation to give us a few more decades to actually reduce emissions
To reduce emissions:
- Tackle the biggest emissions first.
- Electrification of the passenger fleet; that means batteries. Keep fuel cells for heavy transport (maybe)
- Encourage electric biking. And other micro-mobility. Along with better public transport.
- Normalise a historical style diet, meat is a treat only once or twice a week.
- Reduce concrete construction; keep it for the important things like the foundations.
- Reduce the practice of packaging everything in plastic; again keep it for the important things only like electrical insulation.
- Massive ramp up of solar and wind around the world.
- Where we use fossil fuels, ask is this important enough to use FF here?
Carbon taxes:
- Tax CO2e (carbon dioxide equivalent) at a reasonable rate to encourage all of the reduction measures.
- At less than $65NZD/T the cost is too low to encourage significant movement on the issues.
- Have a ratcheting scheme in the CO2 market, i.e. add $5-8/yr/T for CO2e; in 10 years the price will be between $110-140/T. At the 10yr mark, make the ratchet $10-15/yr/T.
- Add a carbon tariff; basically make it more expensive to buy from countries that are not pulling their weight.
- Be careful not to double tax, this is important for buy in from the public. i.e. the carbon tax on fuel should be exempt from sales tax, taxing a tax is a great way to alienate people.






But it works…probably should not use that as a test for things on your body…
It’s all good if it works…NO!
