Ik heb persoonlijk een beetje gemixte gevoelens bij de verkiezingsuitslag. Extreemrechts is niet zo heel groot (wel iets meer dan 60 zetels, niet alle extreemrechtse partijen zitten in de ID-fractie). Daarentegen is het wel gegroeid, hebben voornamelijk veel extreemrechtse kiezers niet gestemd (in het geval van Nederland iig), en is het dus zeker niet geweken.

Hostels zijn inderdaad beter geschikt als je nieuwe mensen wilt leren kennen, en dat zou ik ook aanraden als je alleen reist. Dat wil niet zeggen dat je niemand kan ontmoeten als je in een airbnb zit, maar het zal misschien wat meer moeite kosten. Uiteindelijk is het je eigen reis, en moet je zelf doen waar je je het fijnst bij voelt.

Oh, en veel sterkte met je tanden, klinkt niet fijn!

I like how the first point made is that the backdoor violates the Debian Free Software Guidelines, as if that's the main problem

Wieso steht da nicht, das es "erlaubt" ist? (wie in den Niederlanden, "toegestaan") Wäre doch viel klarer?

Add to this that running Steam on Linux Mint is probably the most "turn-key" Linux gaming experience you'll probably get

Around late 2017 I think. I was a first year university student. I bought a new laptop with Windows 10 when I started uni, but Windows would break with just about every other update. Eventually I was fed up with it and I wanted to try an alternative OS, so I installed Linux Mint next to my Windows installation.

I quickly found myself using it more than Windows, especially since a lot of software I had to use for university was significantly easier to install on Linux (think LaTeX). Quickly, it got to the point where I only used Windows as a gaming OS.

About half a year into this "experiment", my Windows 10 decided to nuke itself, again. This time the network driver wasn't working, which is annoying af to fix, so I didn't for a long time. Also in 2018 gaming on Linux got a lot better, with Proton becoming a thing around that time. Even when I eventually got around to fixing my Windows installation, I found myself not really using it.

Eventually got into a distrohopping phase, used Fedora for quite a while, but right now I settled on Debian with Gnome as my DE. It's not the most "exciting" setup, but I found that to be a good thing actually, because it allows me to get the most work done.

I once had someone tell me abstract dreaming is linked to creativity. I think it had something to do with which side of your brain is dominant. I don't know if this is true.

No, but I have seen my grandma's pc

Isn't copying from others how everyone does (neo)vim? Besides, I'm even "worse" and just use lazyvim.

Switch to pipewire

The ussr may not have been communist, but it was definitely the initial goal. The idea of a revolution that leads to a dictatorship of the proletariat is inherently flawed. You just end up replacing a corrupt government with another corrupt government.

If I'm not mistaken gnome web (epiphany) uses the same browser engine as safari
