I don't get Tusk why the first bill sent to the new president had to be "trapped". He knew Nawrocki doesn't like the wind turbines but he knew that his campaign promise was to lower electricity prices. So Tusk decided to put sweet and sour candy in the same package.
It's like he wanted the first message from the govt to be "f- you, I know right now we're not gonna have a good time anyway". In a few months they'll start saying something that the govt and president can't cooperate. That would probably happen regardless, but it'd be funny - "we treated him with hostility and now the relations are bad"
If you end up going with Intel anyway, avoid I219-LM (e.g. IBM I340-T2), it has issues where you need to run some commands on startup to disable some of the NIC's features so that it doesn't lose connection for a few m every few days. It's pretty old so you probably won't end up using it, but just putting it out here.
This is just about VoLTE that's used for higher bandwidth of voice calls (and HD Voice). Calling works normally, it's just that they don't have the "HD+" icon in the dialer, so they aren't high quality voice calls). It doesn't impact my life very much but it's one of those things that are missing.
I don't think they're handling their current scale well just in Europe, even. VoLTE works on a limited number of carriers even in Europe. e.g. only T-Mobile is recommended by FP in Poland, but it's just one of the four large telcos. I wouldn't expand if I was at that point. Plus, they're busy with making their support less horrible (see post on their forum) for now.
The Fairphone (Gen. 6) comes with a physical switch on the side which, by default, will trigger Fairphone Moments. Fairphone Moments is a brand new minimalist experience to use your Fairphone with fewer distractions. This gives you the freedom to disconnect when you want and stay fully present in real life or customize moments fitted to your own experiences, such as focus and travel modes.
It's likely a Dell 2725QE, I have the exact same one because it's (or "was" if something new came out) the only choice with the new generation of the IPS Black panel (that has 120FPS) and a USB hub. Samsung (that owns the technology) hasn't released anything yet when I was buying mine.
In any way that creates social capital/community in real life. I don't mean counter-patrols. It's just that a patrol happens to be social capital (of the bad kind)
I wonder if maintaining a social life could be more difficult today, because the "social infrastructure" isn't what it used to be. Your society's habits don't carry you as much as your parents', so you have to do more work yourself.
And then you may even not know how to do the work - as other commenter here said: being social is a skill that is learned. I haven't figured it out the puzzle myself. I'm a few years after college where many people just moved away and I'm in the same spiral that other people in my situation describe.
My coping approach has been more like "leave the house" rather than "meet new people" which sorta works for me, for now. Being around people is also humanizing. At the risk of describing something banal, I'll describe my learnings below.
One of the first struggles I've come across is that staying up to date with what's happening in the city is work. As I described in the beginning, the reason that building social capital for yourself is so hard is that the social infrastructure isn't there. One of the best ways to learn what's going on in the city is to have something mentioned to you in a conversation, or to be invited by someone who's already going. You passively learn or participate by leaning back on the other person. It's expensive to be poor.
The way reduce the amount of work is to find cyclical events. That way, you learn about the date just once then keep coming. I've found that the best way to learn about them is to subscribe to e-mail newsletters of cultural institutions (museums, galleries, operas, theaters, cultural centers). Some will never send you an e-mail, but some are pretty active. Sometimes the e-mails contain info that isn't available anywhere else - my local museum holds free visits with a tour guide every Sunday at 9AM, but that isn't mentioned anywhere. The benefit with e-mail is that you're passively being poked by the institution about an event. What doesn't work in such a way is e.g. Instagram, where you have to open the app and doomscroll through unrelated things in the eventual hope of finding some event.
Instead of e-mail you can also sometimes use RSS but completing the list of institutions, finding the feeds and then remembering to read through them is very work-like, as opposed to e-mail.
This of course doesn't solve the problem of loneliness, as you'll be going somewhere, but still alone. In spoonfeeding-a-social-novice terms, random events are a bit further in the social pipeline, where you're "not supposed to" go alone, but where you're going because you've already met people people to go with in earlier in the social pipeline in hobby groups.
I just wish they had an integration wtih a password manager like Bitwarden - e-mail alias integration docs. As you can see there are already many services integrated
