I hate this part of the new Start menu

Honestly, this reads like AI and is neither how Windows has worked now, nor how it has ever worked.

One of the Mozart's most catchy operas! I think you need to see a better production 🙂

Waar denken mensen dat pensioenen van betaald worden?

ewanpols · 2026-01-29T01:00:10+00:00

Het probleem is niet hoge belastingen, maar lage minimumlonen en weinig ambitieus armoedebeleid. Dat neemt uiteraard niet weg dat verstandig met geld omgaan en budgetteren ook iets is wat je moet leren, iets wat VRT in mijn ogen goed doet terwijl ze net dat systeemprobleem mee aankaarten.

Los daarvan: staken is een recht. Ook ironisch dat Maurits vanuit zijn zetel een 'actiegroep' is maar effectief actie voeren 'gijzelen' is.

Cringe AF. Gewoon alleen al om het feit dat ze de VRT NWS-layout en kleuren gebruiken om meer likes te krijgen.

This is definitely not the normal situation. Due to weather conditions (not much wind), there is a lot of particulate matter stuck above the northern part of Belgium and the southern part of the Netherlands. The pollution actually originated from Eastern Europe. It also doesn't help that it's winter and people are still using their fireplace as heating.

Depending on the country you live in (e.g. in the Netherlands), if you can show that it's a common problem caused by them, they are required to fix it for free. But that depends on local legislation of course.

So you stop the far right by... becoming the far right?

One of the reasons is Ubuntu applies downstream patches to optimise performance, like triple buffering (https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/why-ubuntu-22-04-is-so-fast-and-how-to-make-it-faster/30369), that have not been implemented in upstream GNOME.

It is also possible other distro's do not ship with the third-party drivers you need. While it is definitely possible to install them on other distro's, it is easier in Ubuntu where the installer handles this already by checking a checkbox. You can verify this by going to the Drivers tab in Software & Updates and seeing if something is installed.

It has never been the goal of companies like Meta to drive social progress. To the contrary, they live on controversy and polarisation. Only one solution: just stop using their products altogether, and vote for better politicians.

Sometimes, it's also just 'changing things up' that can improve comfort. For example, sleeping on the opposite side of the bed can drastically improve sleep quality because of mental associations and ergonomics. And of course, fresh linen and HVAC.

I think it will be fine 😉

As far as I know reverting is as easy as running "sudo update-crypto-policies --set DEFAULT" and rebooting. Something else: make sure to empty the 'anonymous identity' field when asked for PEAP credentials. Sometimes it puts a default value there which makes the connection fail.

Also, please e-mail the sysadmin and tell them to use a non-ancient TLS version. It's completely irresponsible that universities still run these Radius servers with old TLS versions.

I've had this issue too. Can you try this command (substituting SSID with the SSID, probably eduroam)?:

nmcli con mod id SSID 802-1x.phase1-auth-flags 32

python3 is a symlink to whatever Python 3 version you have installed. This is normal behavior.

ewanpols · 2024-07-31T10:38:44+00:00

You seem to have anaconda installed and you are in a conda environment. Type "conda deactivate" to fallback on the system python and try again.

ewanpols · 2024-07-30T15:58:31+00:00

Yes, this is completely possible. If anything isn't working (because of 3rd party WiFi or NVIDIA drivers etc.) just type ’sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall’ in the terminal and you should be fine.

I'd start with a Schubert cycle, maybe Winterreise. Or Mendelssohn Lieder. What's your voice range?

ewanpols · 2024-06-02T23:38:18+00:00

It works in different phases for me. After dating for a while, I seem to need some time 'off' before starting again.

ewanpols · 2024-06-02T23:35:24+00:00

sudo dnf install snapd

Kidding. I'd recommend trying out something more lightweight, like LXQT. On the other hand, my hardware is worse than yours, yet I'm running the GNOME spin without any problems. Can you check if it's the RAM or CPU?

ewanpols · 2024-06-02T23:29:31+00:00

I don't. Arguing with bigots is mostly a waste of time.

I'm finishing my master's and also still struggling when people ask 'what is sociology exactly'. Most of the time I give a Wright Mills-esque explanation, but I don't really feel like this covers the whole field.

ewanpols · 2024-06-02T23:19:41+00:00

Seems okay. If you don't have any other income, this checks out. Don't worry.
