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.
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.
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.
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 😅
Apple will support RCS in the next iOS 18, so maybe they can just wait a month.
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.
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.
