I want all my programs all in one place, and all in the start menu, listed alphabetically. I want a center where I can push a button to update them, or mod them, or uninstall them, or even open them (if for some reason the start menu wasn't working for some reason). I want it all in one centralized manager app. Call it whatever the fuck you want. But it should handle wine exe installs, flatpaks, sudo apt-get install, AppImages, and.....sigh, yes, even snaps. If you can install it, this manager should handle it, including being able to click a checkbox that says "add to start menu". You can uncheck it if for some reason you DON'T want a program on your start menu, but it should give you the option.
Should it also handle RPM, pkgtool, pkgsrc, nixpkg, Portage, Homebrew, PyPI, NPM, CPAM, CLTN, CTAN, .jar, and software installed from source via ./configure; make; make install?
On the other hand, instead of putting all the responsibility on the GNOME shell devs (and the devs of every other application launcher) to support every software packaging format under the sun, maybe it would be better to put the responsibility on the people packaging each application to conform to the Freedesktop.org desktop entry specification.
I'm not saying your complaint isn't valid, BTW. Linux's lack of a central authority to dictate how things should work does inherently cause some problems that we basically just have to suck up and accept in the name of freedom.
But the point I'm trying to make is that, while Linux may not do something the way you would expect coming from Windows, that doesn't mean it doesn't [try to] solve the problem in a different way. The more you can let go of your Windows-familiarity-based "intuition" of how things should work, the better off you'll be.
(Speaking of which: one reason you can't find the equivalent of "Program Files" is that the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard collates programs' files by type—executables go in bin, configuration files go in etc, and so on—instead of collating per application with all of its files together in a single directory. This has advantages and disadvantages that you may or may not care about, but one design isn't necessarily clearly superior to the other in all cases.)
Well that doesn't make any sense! Why would she do that if all abortions are caused by women getting knocked up and then randomly deciding they don't actually want their baby, like the anti-choice narrative claims?
It's almost as if abortions are actually done for good reasons and the anti-choice people are hateful fucking liars. Weird.
Personally, I recommend quitting Windows cold-turkey and not dual-booting at all. If a game genuinely doesn't work without dual-booting, you don't need it. No game is so important that it's worth compromising your security, privacy, and property rights over.
The Wikipedia article I'm reading right now says that the Indian plate split from Gondwana 100 MY ago (33 MY before the Chicxulub impact), so that's not the connection. Further down the page, it says that the plate movement might have sped up as it passed over the mantle plume from the impact that created the Deccan Traps (my interpretation, BTW; the science isn't actually as settled as I'm making it out to be), but it seems to me that that wouldn't change the "result" of the plate colliding with Asia and creating the Indian Subcontinent, only the timing of the collision.
Fun fact: Smartwater bottles are popular with ultralight backpackers because they're cheap, lightweight, and durable enough to survive an entire Appalachian Trail thru-hike.
In other words, it's fucking ridiculous that they're sold as single-use plastics.
Considering that we're in the midst of the Anthropocene mass extinction event already, I'd say it would be a certainty. The only question would be how bad it would get. Given how much larger that crater would be than Chicxulub, I'm guessing it would exceed the "Great Dying" (Permian-Triassic extinction event) to take the crown.
Edit: The Wilkes Land Crater in Antarctica, which may be associated with the Great Dying, was "only" a little over 2.5 times larger in diameter than Chicxulub and thus still way smaller than the crater depicted. That said, I guess a nuclear crater wouldn't be associated with a flood basalt "exit wound" at the antipode the way an impact crater might be, so maybe it wouldn't be comparable.
No, because (a) that's way, way bigger than any single bomb would make (the largest nuclear crater ever made was "only" about 390m across), and (b) actual nuclear weapon attacks would be detonated as air-bursts and therefore wouldn't make craters at all to begin with.
The afore-mentioned crater was the result of an underground test, BTW. Also, it was designed to make a big crater, being part of Project Plowshare. The largest bomb ever detonated, the Tsar Bomba, left no crater because it was an air-burst at 4,000m altitude.
Also, a crater that big would be an extinction-level event. For comparison, Chicxulub crater, from the impact that ended the dinosaurs, is "only" about as wide as "Mossad Island" in this image.
I think most Dems try to appeal to actual conservative values. It’s non-intrusive, light on protections, nothing that might make the average voter uncomfortable (no reparations, no medicaid for all, no major police reform etc).
Well, yeah. That's what liberalism is, and always has been.
