  • My budget is maximum $50

    There’s a Dutch weather man who reviews a crazy amount of earbuds as a hobby. They’re all Bluetooth ones though. I found that you get better quality for a similar price if you get a wired one.

    Anyway, recommend that you check out https://www.scarbir.com/

    He has lists per price range, but also recommendations per usage type. E.g. I bought ones that were less affected by wind noise (during a call).




  • Meanwhile orban bringing MANY immigrants to hungary, intentionally

    He should’ve learned from the Netherlands. Right wing made claims about asylum seekers. While showing immigration figures.

    In Netherlands immigration is not due to asylum seekers. Immigration consist of students and knowledge workers.

    Anyway, they said there was a huge issue with reuniting families of asylum seekers. There wasn’t an issue, it was just claimed.

    Netherlands now have a radical right wing government. Based off of untrue statements. They’re planning to save loads of money, just need the EU to make those happen. Meaning, it won’t happen. Obvious plan is to blame the EU for things which are predictable.



  • If respondents have the perception their country takes in too many immigrants

    Pretty much any right wing party in the Netherlands lied about the number of asylum seekers. Then they purposely mix up the number of immigrants and asylum seekers. Plus asylum seekers are the latest group to be blamed for government failures.

    People are giving significant tax benefits for work immigrants. But give them a different name (knowledge workers), so they can continue to pretend most immigrants are asylum seekers. While in reality asylum seekers make up a tiny portion of the immigrants in the Netherlands.

    If I see stuff about immigrants I’m always suspicious. Likely the complaint is about asylum seekers and equalling every immigrant as an asylum seeker.



  • Never heard about this. They’re website is awesome, they have a extensive list of changes they made. Don’t agree with removing SELinux though. It stops enough security issues and it doesn’t seem good to have such a change while likely (didn’t check) rely on Fedora for package updates.

    Kind of wonder how old certain changes are, e.g. Fedora did change the vm.max_map_count.

    Edit: forgot to say that I do like it. I like opinionated software/projects even if I might not use it myself.






  • where the committee perform worse because the “forced” member

    Ah, the common strawman. A committee where everyone thinks pretty much the same is somehow better than one where a few have a different opinion?

    Such discussions took place decades ago when pretty much every manager was only male. And they often honestly thought they did the right thing. When there were more women forced to be managers the group as a whole got better insights into different opinions. Which helped to see that certain things could be done a different way.

    That to me is history, plus rather logical.

    Having a few people with different opinions is further usually good for a committee. Though some like every single person to think the same, more efficient or something. If most think the same it’s way easier to overlook something.



  • To. Support. The. Creators. I. Watch.

    Did you ask those creators how much money they get? Loads of them make way more from inserting advertisements themselves.

    It’s also telling that you’re saying it’s about supporting those creators while responding negatively towards the person who blocks ads and gives money directly.
