Same as all liberals they rather protect capital and work together extreme right parties. Then giving some crumbs to the left.

Same happened in the Netherlands with the vvd and nsc. They are now in a cabinet with extreem right(wich the media isn't called extreme right any more but radical right) and in the senaat they will be working together with the FvD (a (proto) fascist party) and the sgp a extreme christian party.

He now hopes the left voters are so scared they vote for him and when he doesn't get a majority his party will work together with extreme right.

Edit: but not French, however we in the Netherlands already had this happen. Same is happening all over the western world and outside of it.

[meme] How would you rather see this land developed?

Reply in thread

You can still own and buy appartements in most places in the world. Then there are many forms of social housing.

Rent to own is also a possibility but not seen in most countries.

Seems your problem is not ownership but landlords.

Some countries in Europe have the right to roam on any land. State owned and private owned. (Maybe more countries somewhere else have it to but I don't know)

It does not need to be so terrible. In some places it just is because of profits

Signal is the No. 1 downloaded app in the Netherlands. But why?

My dad just said in the WhatsApp group, why not move to signal. I tried moving friends and family before, but now that there has been anti meta media reports in some news sources. But especially reports on signal in almost every major newspaper and news source.

It seems not only a push because of privacy, but even more a anti big tech(especially us tech) and buy/use eu stuff push.

I don't mind the push I'm just curious if people stay on signal. Previous time there was a push to signal (during whatsapp technical difficulties and privacy push) people quickly want back to whatsapp.

Now my volunteer work, 1 friend and a family chat already moved to signal. The only thing I did was some explaining that you can just send images and so on. (That it's not something scary)

Dutch parliament wants to follow U.S. example and label Antifa a terrorist organization

Reply in thread

I don't like nltimes at best they just copy a Dutch article and badly translate it. Without sources of course.

But unfortunately the article is right link to the motie on government website

link to a Dutch newspaper about it. in dutch

As it is a "motie" it is the task of the government to implement it. But as the 2 parties that are left in the government both voted for it I don't have good hopes.

What are some things you can/should cheap out on?

I "just" moved and now taking care of the garden. I want a small vegetable garden (again) in raised beds.

You have a lot of raised beds kits the cheapest ones are €40 and more expensive ones are €90. I however used pallet collar's at €5 a piece. You don't even have to screw them together just put them down. For some custom size beds I use free pallets. They do take some work however.

Give them one treatment with linseed oil and you can use them for years. They live longer then the cheap kits and just a bit shorter then expensive ones. (Hardwood probably out life them)

Kits for vegetable gardens are most of the time really overpriced. Raised beds kits, tool kits and so on.

If you want high quality tools buy them of course, but starter kits are most of the time just the cheapest ones at a premium. Want hardwood raised beds, just buy wood and not a kit.

I suggest start on the cheap side, see if it your hobby. Buy cheap tools they already least long enough and if they break you know that you maybe want to invest in a premium one. Because you use that tool really often. (Second hand old tools are sometimes a better option of course)

Core 2 Ruleo

Reply in thread

There are many 775 socket boards that support ddr3 and core 2 duo/quad supported ddr2 and 3.

There are even motherboard that support both ddr2 and ddr3 like this gigabyte g41m combo

Edit: damn at least some core 2 duo's support also ddr1. So core duo supports ddr1, 2 and 3

There are almost no lga 775 boards that have ddr1 support and have core 2 duo as supported cpu. But this ASRock motherboard does support the core 2 duo and ddr1 and ddr2

There is one uncleared level remaining in Super Mario Maker, with 18 days to go before the servers shut down

I already mentioned pretendo in a comment. But for anyone how wants to play super Mario maker on there Wii u after the shutdown. You can switch networks (you of course need to (soft)mod your Wii u).

In super Mario maker uploading, playing uploaded levels, death point, world record and staring them works. There is still a lot missing. But you can still play.

Some games and features are behind a payed beta(which I hate). But all super Mario maker stuff is free.

Seeing wara wara plaza alive on my Wii u is amazing with random Mii's and post from miiverse.

Netherlands: 18 year old Ryan al-Najjar was tied up, beaten, and drowned by her father and brothers for being too Westernized

Reply in thread

Same can be said about the Dutch news paper de Telegraaf (maybe a little bit less). It is a right-wing anti immigration newspaper. But I thought okay I look it up in de Telegraaf. But there is no news article about a email from the father.

Only news article I can find with a quick search is the daily mail. (About the father's email)

The new source the op added also don't say it.

Because yes there was maybe (at this moment it's in court) a honour killing, and the dad is indeed a suspect (together with her brothers). The dad also seems to hide in Syria and the brother's are held in prison. But I can't find a Dutch news article saying something about a email.

De Telegraaf of course made news articles about it. But the newest was 16 april.

A more updated article can be found here Omrop fryslân from the 27 of may about the court case and what's happening there. (Written in Dutch and Fryske. But auto translation in English is available)

As she lived in the province fryslân the regional press follows this case.

Dutch parliament wants to follow U.S. example and label Antifa a terrorist organization

Reply in thread

As it is not really a organization they can now call any leftist group antifa and ban it.

Unfortunately the info is correct. link to the motie

The question is how it will be implemented, as it to the government to do it. (What's left of the government voted for it, so no high hopes)

This together with the proposed law against "verheerlijken van terrorisme"(the proposed law is so written, it can mean any support for any terroristic organization. Think UK with Palestine action) link in dutch to a article about it It can be implemented that you go to jail if you say you any thing that is anti fascism.

End of 10 - Windows ten is ending. Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer. But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again?

At our repair cafe we only suggest Linux Mint. Sure if the person knows something about linux and want/needs a other distro we will help. But it helps us with support/writing manuals and for most people Linux Mint is fine.

I'm know my why around linux a bit, but for alot of other volunteers it also there first time touching Linux in anyway.

We don't want to scare people away with 100+ options. Just simple, windows like and sane defaults.

Gelukkig ben je niet je hart verloren

"Vrienden" van mij werken bij AZC's die maken "grapjes" in de groepsapp dat ze morgen naar het uwv mogen en sturen "grappig" memes. Sommige hebben zelfs op de PVV gestemd.

Ik snap gewoon niet dat als ze met deze mensen werken, zichzelf niet kunnen bedenken wat het voor die mensen kan betekenen.

Which GPU to choose for Linux gaming?

AMD is better on Linux most of the time. Running a AMD card day one is not hassle free.

That being said if you pick a up to date distro all 7000 and 6000 series should work fine now. They are already in the kernel and mesa for a while. You may want to update you kernel and mesa sometimes to get better performance and stability.

But in my experience nvidia is fine on Linux. (I only used older cards gtx 970 and a rtx 2060) especially when you have just one monitor or all monitors on the same refresh rate. It's not on par with windows but will work with the Nvidia drivers.

So I would say if you a simple setup Nvidia is fine and AMD is better. It all depends on the best deal you can get. If ray tracing is not that important AMD is new the best value. If you more on a budget second AMD Rx 5700 XT are pretty cheap here and there are some good deals on Nvidia 30 series cards.

As far I have read intel cards can be a pain on Linux. So I would not recommend it for now.
