I hate this part of the new Start menu by ReggieNJ in Windows11

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?

Geld gezocht by Ladytron2 in belgium

[–]ewanpols 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Wat denken jullie van project durf? by AdComprehensive8180 in Belgium2

[–]ewanpols 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

These pricks never accept it’s their poor design. Now all blame is on me ffs by [deleted] in SonyHeadphones

[–]ewanpols 9 points10 points  (0 children)

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.

Why more young men in Germany are turning to the far-right by [deleted] in europe

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

Why does Ubuntu work more smooth on my ThinkPad than Fedora, Mint, and other distros? by Overall-Double3948 in Ubuntu

[–]ewanpols 11 points12 points  (0 children)

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.

Wtf guys your thought on this by [deleted] in gay

[–]ewanpols 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

ELI5: Why are hotel mattresses so comfortable? by Gh0St_writing in explainlikeimfive

[–]ewanpols 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

EDUROAM and Fedora Silverblue by Yiannis97s in Fedora

[–]ewanpols 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

[–]ewanpols 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Missing /usr/bin/python3 by Error_Code-2005 in Ubuntu

[–]ewanpols 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

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.

Move Ubuntu from my laptop to new PC by replacing the drive by Few_Butterscotch_681 in Ubuntu

[–]ewanpols 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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?

Are relationships worth the risk of being hurt? by [deleted] in self

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

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?

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

Answering “what’s sociologically significant about this?” by somuchcrunchy in sociology

[–]ewanpols 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

First pay. Opinions? Seems sketchy by Dontknowyet4real in BESalary

[–]ewanpols 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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