I don’t think meat substitutes is is the major problem to worry about. In fact, perhaps they could help?

Memes@lemmy.ml•Buying a new car is not better than keeping an old one
7·3 years agoI’m in London. I cycle to work and use the tube network and bus network whenever I can. I also have a private car which I use for trips where public transport or my bike is impractical. It’s a 2016 model, I expect that it may need replacing in 5 years time. If I took the cartoon at face value, I might think it makes no difference from a climate chang perspective whether I choose petrol or electric - and this is clearly wrong.

19·3 years agoBuying a brand new electric car to replace a relatively new ICE is not a great solution.
That is absolutely sound.
However and if the cartoon said that, it would be fine

No.
Whatever caused that, it wasn’t the gas oven. I grew up in a house with a gas oven and a mother who obsessively baked.
Yup. Used by comms people with multiple social media accounts
Good news for Hootsuite
Haven’t seen this, and I use kbin rather a lot
Posting stuff from Scarfolk is cheating, surely?

I think the problem is that you are keyboard-centric and the Finder, since its introduction is mouse-centric. Therefore the assumption is that if you have selected a file, whatever you’re going to do to it - ‘Open’ isn’t likely. Afterall, if you were going to open it, you would have double clicked on it, or dragged it on top of an application icon.
You can argue that that’s “bad” if you want - and OK. But the daemon will fix if for you.
Similarly, the mechanisms for going up a folder (and there are many) are mouse-centric.
Or command+click because up until osx, or even way later than that macOS didnt even had rightclick.
The Mac introduced right click with System 8 in 1997. The keyboard equivalent is ctrl-click, by the way - not command click.
Why does the finder half asses this interaction (and moving a folder up) while moving the cursor and selecting/unselecting items is done like on other plattforms?
Not sure what you mean. Holding shift while using the keyboard (or mouse) will let you select multiple contiguous items. Hold cmd to select items dotted about.

And this doesn’t strike you as being unintuitive?
Not really, CMD-O for open, together with CMD-C for copy, CMD-V for paste etc were introduced in 1982 with the Apple Lisa.
As I say, Finder is primarily designed to be mouse driven, so most people will be using double-click to open, otherwise CMD-O is your friend.
The good news There is a tiny bit of freeware available called “PresButan” that will let you modify the Finder behaviour match your preferences. You can grab it here: http://briankendall.net/presButan/index.htm
Enjoy!
Why is the default action on a folder/file to RENAME it? If I press enter on a folder I want to enter it, if I press enter on a file I want to open it.
The Mac is mouse-centric. You double click to open anything , you right-click to access other operations.
If you single-click and then start using using the keyboard, it’s a fair bet that you want to rename it.
I’m pretty sure opt-enter will actually open the file if you want to open it… or cmd-O, of course
I tend to buy iMacs for my workhorse home machines. They tend to last about 10 years or more before I feel the need to replace them.
When you’re out of mama you don’t have that much potential
