  • Bullet points and a summary at the end

  • Political: I, Daniel Blake.

  • Son of a.. got me good!

  • Anyone else keeping expectations firmly in check after the last season?

  • Massive in UK / Ireland too!

  • Istanbul in May, but with everything going on there now it seems like a poor choice!

  • Amazing to think that they criticised "freedom of speech" in Europe

  • Of all the distros to base it on, why would they choose fedora?

  • Here in Ireland I got a meagre 2 weeks (but took an additional 2 weeks unpaid!)

  • Appreciate the comprehensiveness of this post!

  • Found another pollution comparison of Dublin and Amsterdam, which suggests when you take into account a more holistic picture of pollution that Amsterdam is superior: https://www.numbeo.com/pollution/compare_cities.jsp?country1=Netherlands&country2=Ireland&city1=Amsterdam&city2=Dublin

  • Rotterdam does seem to be the major source of pollution - is that one of the reasons why people cycle less there than other Dutch cities?

  • Very good point. I noticed London data was also included in that study and seemed to have very high levels of nitrogen dioxide wherever they measured (despite having an excellent public transport system!). That's a horrible shame that the Dutch have to suffer other nations' pollution :-(

    Air quality in Dublin, Ireland vs. Amsterdam, Netherlands

    Hi all, Dublin resident here, trying to figure out some data related to car pollution. I stumbled across this google study: https://insights.sustainability.google/labs/airquality?hl=en-US which purports to map out the air pollution in a few cities in great detail (hyperlocal, street-by-street, air quality data). Remarkably, Dublin seems to come out on top. This is flabbergasting to me, a resident of this car riddled city. I am especially surprised that the average Nitrogen Dioxide levels in Dublin seems to be about half that of Amsterdam (in my mind, a cycling utopia). What am I missing here? I can see that the data from Amsterdam is pre-pandemic and the Dublin data is post-pandemic. Is that the major difference? I can also see the Amsterdam data seems to contain a ring road (or two) whereas the Dublin data is missing the M50. To be honest, I am surprised that the Dutch levels are high at all (even in 2019) , I found some info on the modal share of Amsterdam from 2018 that suggested on

  • I'm experiencing this too. Particularly in outlook web (which I am forced to use for work). Frustrating!

  • Was this around the same time the Dutch were protesting against cars killing their children?

  • I had tried the original port over and found some things were a bit rough. Now trying it again and it seems flawless!

  • Really very polished now!

  • That's a cracker. Going to remember that one

    Remote desktop help using KDE

    I recently opted to move from XFCE to KDE Plasma after hearing so many good things about the KDE desktop environment. While I like the desktop interface/experience a lot more on KDE, there is one glaring issue... I can’t remote into it.

    It should be noted that I use DWService.net as my remote desktop solution while out and about, and honestly it works flawlessly on other distros. I am also running on a mini computer in a headless configuration.

    When I connect remotely, I am presented with the login screen with no issues, I can type in my password and submit that like any other time, however when it is supposed to present the desktop, it’s just a black screen.

    I’ve worked around the issue temporarily by attaching a monitor to the HDMI-1 slot, but that defeats the purpose on how I want to use it. There was a similar issue with the XFCE environment, and the solution was adding a virtual HDMI-0 ‘display’, designate the resolution size, and carry on.

    I’ve done a lot of internet searchin

    Which Lemmy android app is the most battery efficient?

    Does it make a difference which one I use? I am using an old phone (~5 years old). Currently using liftoff! and connect. Feel like my phone is dying a lot quicker since I switched from using infinity for reddit a month or so ago
