Did this woman do it on purpose? The judge seems to be pretty sorry.
People in 2021 had to go and do stuff, infected or not. That makes me scared that some day I might get charged for murder by pure chance that my neighbor got infected while I was buying my covid test.
It's a cute lovely car that would be very useful, but too damn expensive.
Is that American hand writing? It reminds me so much of James Hetfield's, and basically no one writes like that in my country.
True Mexican food from an actual restaurant. For your health.
I'm sorry but I won't bother switching to a ultra-minor browser for having to toggle something in the settings once every 2 years after 500 articles pop up about it.
It's 100 % because they don't really know if bikes can go on the roads it tells you. Their focus is clearly on cars, and they don't feel comfortable in their guesses on bikes, specially considering that the risks of bad injury skyrocket if you ride somewhere where you shouldn't.
The only broken thing is very specific stuff like Slack calls. In fact, it's the only broken thing I've seen in a long while. Also fuck Slack.
I swear this question comes up everyday in Lemmy 😅.
Firefox, I just use Firefox because, it works, it has enough privacy measures, and everyone is looking at the codebase, something that cannot be said about most (if not all) forks.
I'll laugh so hard when "square-everything" is made cool again by Apple and millions of developer hours will be trashed.
The sad part will be that in another 5 years people will have to develop rounded corners from scratch again. Capitalism.
Arch Linux. All the software at their latest version (which is usually the best one), within a couple of commands, either from the huge official repos or the AUR.
One of the reasons surely is that it's getting banned from government software 😅
Yep, these are the measures that keep the underworld locked for the rich and I am tired of pretending it's not.
I don't get how people use social media without filters.
All I see is the communities I follow... Isn't that what most people do around here?
Seems like the comeback of a more sane system. I just wish they stopped using so many circles or such huge rounded corners that enforce smaller and smaller text and icons.
Telegram client is the only thing from them that's open, so I would stick to that as it's where most eyes are looking.
You are making good points, but I'd say there is a point in "size" which no longer a centralised entity makes sense, and it must be divided in order to provide better, independent service.
Everything has a critical size. It would be terrible if there was a "hospital" city for an entire country instead of a hospital per X amount of citizens.
Or it would be terrible to power the entire world from a single power plant, for many absurd reasons.
RCS is supposed to be a distributed protocol, just like SMS, but using data. It is not the same as Signal. Tho, currently, Google is the main provider for almost all phone companies.
In my experience (not in Android apps but in Arch Linux updates) parallel downloads are almost always waaay faster. Magnitudes faster. Using multiple cores? Is it the bottleneck actually enforced by the server? I don't know, I just know it works.
And if they did it, it's because it works on Android too.
RCS is not another chat app.
It's the NEW SMS. That is why it is so important, and that is why it works ONLY IF YOU HAVE A PHONE. Because that's literally the point.
Having your mom, grandpa, and everyone automatically use encrypted, modern comnunication just because they have a phone is extremely important.
Realise that in places where SMS has been historically free, SMS is the standard.
XMPP, Matrix or whatever will obviously still have its place for more "incognito" conversations. But having a phone number should also give you access to a better alternative than SMS.

They don't need to be brilliant, just decent enough.
I am talking about this kind of livestream.
It looks nice, with all the different layouts and so on.
Is Linux not free software itself? I thought propietary stuff was added downstream.
Am I getting something wrong?
So, what I want to do is basically to be able to publish some of my own IR remotes at home to some public database, very probably IRDB. Of course I'd also be using the device for automations and so on, which I know it works great at that. But my main goal is to make it possible for people to not have to buy a stupid remote for some old hardware they have.
From the docs, it seems like it is possible.
Do you have any experience on this?
Every time I mention that I like Huberman's podcasts, I get bombarded with comments on how he's basically a fool, a liar, yadayada.
And when I read every link, trying to see if maybe I should ditch his podcasts... all I see is, at most, in very specific cases, that some scientists defend different theories.
Like... wow. Science in a nutshell.
That is specially funny once you actually listen to his podcasts, because he is constantly reminding people that his words are not the literal truth, that he is no cop, and that he is simply collecting some evidence and always asking for people to go research this information, consult their doctor/physician/professional...
Joe Rogan has like a 1000 clips that can give you absolute clues on how this guy is... well... not great. And my guess is that people are associating a big muscular man with another?
Has the podcast claimed that the white male is a superior species or what am I missing?
Come on, what kind of dark agenda does a guy like Huberman have when basically everything that he says can be condensed into:
- get good sleep
- do sport
- eat well
- go outside ?
Another thing I've seen is many articles pointing out his "bad romances" and other weird personal life details, as if that mattered somehow?
I find the only app in F-droid very lacking, and the couple I tested from the PlayStore lacked many of the technically available controls you can see on IRDB, Global Cache, JP1, etc.
I am seriously surprised there is no open source Android IR remote app that can truly put everything to shame, given that the info is out there. I may contact a friend of mine for a new Android app...
I was using the Plasma Vaults feature for the first time on my Linux computer, and it worked nicely (GoCryptFS), but when I wanted to sync that folder on my Android... I just couldn't find the right tool on Android for the job.
How do you solve this problem yourself?
The use case is basically so that all my family members we can check that "John has an old laptop collecting dust" or "Mary has this specific tool that I'd love to use for my current project".
It would be awesome if you could also have a private inventory, aside from the "shared knowledge".
So, what do you guys use for this? Maybe it does not have to be self hosted, but I have a sense the best solutions for this use case are.
Is there a database of sorts for these things? It seems like there should be.
I was thinking that maybe such idea could be applied on a Linux phone that could run all your banking apps without Waydroid's "you-must-be-a-hacker" issues, literally by having a half-asleep Android running on another chip, which you can wake up whenever to do your "non-hacker" things, while at the same time you can run the rest of your system (calls, messaging, calculator, calendar, browser...) on your lightweight, private and personalized Linux mobile OS.
I think I would pay big bucks for something like this, and it could serve as a transition device for ditching Android in the future when Tux finally governs over the world.
What do you guys think?
Introducing Unihertz Jelly Star - The world's smallest Android 13 smartphone with a transparent design and LED light. This phone packs advanced features into a credit card-sized body, including an Octa-Core 6nm MediaTek Helio G99 processor, 8GB RAM, 256GB of storage memory, and a powerful 48MP rear ...
Go and check the link, but essentially:
- small
- 2023 release (Android 13)
- HEADPHONE JACK (I was almost sold here)
- NFC
- 8GB RAM (that is powerful)
- 256 GB internal storage
- Dual SIM or SIM+MicroSD
- IR BLASTER (whatttttttt)
- LED indicators (front AND BACK)
- fingerprint scanner
- face ID
- FM Radio
- PROGRAMMABLE BUTTON (ok I'm in love already STOPPP)
I mean... this list is mindblowing. So...
What's the downside?
Honestly, you can go and check all reviews... but this phone is virtually perfect for the size, the only issue I have is that the screen is a bit too tiny, 3 inches, and 480p, and I think this will make many people run away.
It should make me look elsewhere also... but where? Any other small phone with a bigger screen is pretty bad, old, etc... and I really needed a new phone, so I realised this was an opportunity to commit to the cause, and buy and hopefully push this form factor from Unihertz to mainstream brands.
Hopefully one day we can get one with a slightly bigger screen, I believe 4 inches and 1080p would be brutal. But for now... I think I've found my new phone. In fact, I bought it 3 hours after knowing its existance.
If you are not sold yet...
Go check reviews on YouTube (example). Honestly, you'll see every reviewer falls in love with the device, even non-small phone lovers. It looks like it performs pretty well, it's decently fast, battery is solid, screen is bright and colorful, the LEDs are really useful, even Face ID (which I'll probably disable) is quick, it does not heat up at all, and even photos are pretty decent...
And it's something like 200 $. Come on. What a deal.
Will report back.
So, what do you think?
I was not a podcast guy at all, but I stumbled upon Andrew Huberman a few months ago and wow, what an amazing source of information and it has helped me a lot while making conmutes and training sessions a lot less wasteful.
The thing is that, now that I basically have consumed all their catalogue, I feel the need for more.
I am very interested in science, backed-up self-improvement, open source stuff, and... Maybe, if it's really well done I could enjoy some politics.
I mostly like to get informed and to grow. I have other sources for entertainment.
I followed this video to make my Home Asssistant accessible from everywhere, and yeah, port 8123 is fully clear to me, I've done it, it works great.
But he also talks about port 443, and when he sets it up in the router instead of choosing 443 on both WAN and LAN he goes for 443 to 8123. Why? And which one is the WAN and the LAN one? His router config has completely different names to mine, and as you can tell I am quite a noob at this.
This problem existed too in Plasma 5, but I was so excited that after the update to 6, there finally was a toggle for some kind of "don't ask about this again for this device" but it seems to do nothing.
So is this bug ever going to be fixed? Or is it actually not a bug? What are your workarounds? I hate that I have to walk to my TV stand to press enter everytime I turn on the machine.

I am worried that there is not really a benefit of doing that, just more noise and energy consumption.
There does not seem to exist like a single, complete solution for this that everyone agrees is the way to go... or maybe I did not look hard enough.
How do you do it?
My priorities are:
Top priority
- Turn off
Amazing to have
- Volume controls
- Pause/play
Nice to have
- monitoring state (on/off)
I saw that System Bridge exists, and looks almost perfect aside from the fact that is not even in the AUR (outdated) and is not distributed under Chocolatey in Windows... this makes me think that the project is very much not widely used at all.
So, how do you deal with these things?
An open-source keyboard for Android which respects your privacy. Currently in early-beta. - GitHub - florisboard/florisboard: An open-source keyboard for Android which respects your privacy. Curren...
I could not recommend AnySoftKeyboard to my mum. I could recommend Florisboard, tho.
Openboard is virtually dead from what I can see. So that leaves Florisboard as the only open source alternative (that I know of) that could really be used by the masses. And the world would actually be a way better place if we all opensource freaks could install Florisboard on our family/friends phones and them barely noticing anything weird.
The problem is... no word suggestions yet. It's been years and we are still lacking what is almost an essential feature of a phone's keyboard.
I wish I could really work on it, but I lack the knowledge to do so; so I hope I am bringing some attention to the project.
Is there any other alternative I am unaware of?
