Austrian woman is found guilty of fatally infecting her neighbor with COVID-19

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.

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.

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.

Pedantic, but Google Messages' RCS. And it's all Google's fault because they are holding the API hostage, probably because they want to create familiarity with the app so that people don't switch once they finally open up.

But an AI can "realise" the code might be downloading something it doesn't need to. That's the point.
AI is "smart" and understands that you told it that the library was supposed to do something specific, and it can understand that and look for things that seem not correlated to the purpose of the repo.

AI doesn't do feelings
How can I have a serious conversation with these annoying answers? Come on, you know what I am talking about. Even an AI chatbot would know what I mean.
Any AI chatbot, even "general purpose" ones will read your code and will return a description of what it does if you ask it.
And particularly AI would be great at catching "useless", "weird" or unexplainable code in a repository. Maybe not with the current levels of context. But that's what I want to know, if these tools (or anything similar) exist yet.
Thank you.

Of course, 100% reliability is impossible even with human reviewers. I just want a tool that gives me at least something, cause I don't have the time or knowledge to review a full repo before executing it on my machine.

I'm trying to feel more comfortable using random GitHub projects, basically.
They don't need to be brilliant, just decent enough.
I am talking about [this kind of livestream](https://youtu.be/nLLO4u2Tbbo?t=6574). 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](https://github.com/probonopd/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](https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/broadlink/#learning-commands), 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.
What's your pick?
[The OnePlus Watch 2 has 2 chips, and basically runs a lightweight OS while keeping the hungry one in very very low power, and only powering it up when necessary](https://www.oneplus.com/global/oneplus-watch-2). 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?

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](https://youtu.be/AK5E2T5tWyM) 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. #Plasma6 #KDE #KDEplasma6 #KDEplasma #KDEConnect
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?

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?
How can I kill this evil thing? This is probably not the place to do it but I figured it would be where I could find someone who fixed it.
I am slowly getting back into reading, and as a minimalist, I dislike the idea of having (or carrying) books, aside from very special ones, of course. Is there a nice system to organize (maybe even sync) ebook information; and I mean not only bookmarking where you left, but actually notes, highlights, etc? I'd like it to be pretty "universal", so I don't depend on propietary stuff, and I can retrieve those notes 20 years from now (why else would I want to write some notes, right?). Also, a bit off-topic for this sub, but... how do you read? E-readers? Tablets? Software choices?
Essentially the title. If only S2 (previous connection point from light switch to bulb) is truly required, then, wow, that makes things way easier to install. I guess electrically it makes sense, I'm just weirded out it does not show in the instructions.
I just started my journey into Home Automation, and I think I am starting to understand better what Matter actually signifies... So, Zigbee is just a communication protocol, and the definition of smart devices is actually done by ZHA, Zigbee2MQTT, etc... correct? So Matter actually reduces all those Zigbee sub-protocols into one thing, so one Matter bulb will be always compatible, you don't need to pick like we do now with ZHA, Zigbee2MQTT... correct? And then, the Zigbee communication is substituted either with Thread (basically Zigbee technology but for Matter) or Wi-Fi. But the smart device definition is still Matter, so a bulb will always behave like Matter specifies, in terms of variables and parameters. Am I getting close?

I think apps become really relevant in the federated world, as it allows to manage multiple accounts at the same time, in the same place, allowing for quick switching, etc, while simplifying so much workflow (and making server requests lighter too!). On F-Droid, tho, I see Peertube apps basically being frozen in time. No updates since a long time ago, but Peertube itself keeps getting better and better, so what's up? Also, don't link NewPipe, I know it allows Peertube videos, but you cannot log in or interact, which is crucial for the survival of the fediverse.
If I am not mistaken the tradeoff is losing add-ons but being able to install other services. So... what is your experience? Are add-ons useful/common for your use case?
In this federated world, I find myself going back to [lemmyverse.net](lemmyverse.net) to see if a community already exists, or if there are any duplicates already, etc. Also, in `lemmyverse` you can actually search instances themselves, which is quite interesting too. Maybe being able to check out some instance's local communities would be awesome too.
So, they finally built their own instance. Go to !kde@lemmy.kde.social and subscribe! Have fun!
