  • Interestingly enough, there doesn’t seem to be correlation between having death penalty in law and lower crime rate. Many countries without death penalty or with death penalty only “on paper” have lower (serious) crime rates than those with death penalty in their jurisdical system. It could also be said that death penalty leads to heavier crimes since once criminal realizes that he crossed that line, it no longer matter how heavier crime gets but hope of getting out over the death bodies becomes the variant too.



  • Just wanted to add that i know folks who have no problem using distro like Mint but are extremely non tech. To the point they can’t set up their new TV. In fact it’s safer for them than Windows since they can’t just go clicling yes to all dangerous operations like on Windows.

    I thinkbeginner friendly distros are more difficult not for total noobs but for users who are slightly experienced with PCs and want to do medium level operations like installing specific soft outside distro repo .

    It doesn’t seem to be the case with distros like Mint. I even know folks who have Mint but they have no clue about tech or computers at all. As users they can hardly tell difference. And It’s actually easier on them because it doesn’t get all messy as Windows does for non tech folks, so there is almost no maintenance needed. I very much recommended it for granparents and such, so you don’t have to go fixing their Windows PC each visit because they downloaded tons of random danger ware by not understanding what they do.

    Sometimes it’s actually better with dark background on direct sun.

    If we are talking about devices screen, white background kinda goes yellow on direct sun and contrast reduces. But black background goes dark grey and less light gets reelected back to the eyes.

    If we are talking old school paper ( SHOCKING i know ). It’s close to unreadable on direct sun when paper is white because it shines back too bright, it hurts eyes but black paper it much more comfy on eyes.

    Note: Reason why black on white was used historicaly is most likely economical. (Less paint, easy to maintain.) If papyrus naturally turned black, all written text might have been in “dark mode” from the beginning.
