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 only 20% use private cars with the rest cycling/walking or using public transport (https://www2.deloitte.com/content/dam/insights/us/articles/4331_Deloitte-City-Mobility-Index/city-mobility-index_AMSTERDAM_FINAL.pdf). Any insights welcome!
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!
That's a cracker. Going to remember that one
Amazing news, can imagine how much quieter Wales will become as a result of this
Feel like numbeo is a good resource for this. Here in Dublin, Ireland it's horrendously expensive
greentext-3170640 just tried using infinity. Do you mean using images in posts or comments?
I think clear Linux is optimised for Intel chips. Not sure if there is an equivalent for amd
One of the few communities I was missing from reddit. Hope this takes off!
As someone thinking of switching to KISS, what is the "tag" feature?
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 searching so far, and nothing that I’ve read and tried has helped.
Is there a similar solution for KDE that I can implement and disconnect the monitor again?
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
