The problem with live traffic awareness is, that it needs a lot of data to be collected all the time, something only Google or Apple with their monopolistic and privacy invasive ppwer can do. How it works (simplified) is that Google can detect if a lot of phones are on the same street and therefore assumes traffic. This data is, however, proprietary to Google. A FOSS App has the following problems:

• Too small of a userbase, to reliably track something
• Privacy conscious userbase, not wanting to be tracked
• If it had auch a feature, it would be opt-in, as FOSS does (usually) not try to be as evil as Google&Co.
• Usually limited server capacity to calculate if an aggregation is traffic

Solutions would be:

• Google is forced to make the data publicly available per API as part of some anti-monopolistic ruling
• A thrid party (e.g. cities) have their own monitoring of traffic and give public access to it.

So sadly similar dunctionality will not come in the near future in any FOSS app.

DAVx⁵ ist eine freie, quelloffene Anwendung, die das CalDav, CardDav und WebDav Protokoll sprechen kann. Das sind Protokolle um Kontakte, Kalender und andere Dinge (z.B. generische Dateien) über HTTP zu synchronisieren.

Z.B. kann man eine Nextcloud und dessen Kalender und Kontakte Funktionalität gut über dieses Protokoll verwenden.

Don't you have a student council in America you can complain to about such stuff? From my experience studying in Germany (and even more so in Austria) the student council (oder student union) has very good connections to the administrative and scientific staff to pass feedback along and also get invited to (mandatory for the Uni) semesterly quality-assessment-circles to assess the "studibility" of the program, which also includes evaluating such processes.

I would imagine that this has similar root causes like Italian in South Tyrol. About 100 years ago in an attempt to forcefully italianize the german-speaking Tyroleans the fascists moved a lot of italians from all over Italy into South Tyrol, resulting in a very clean italian (somewhat "high-italian") being spoken there, opposed to the various regional dialects all over Italy. The clean language is a more common ground between everyone, so it makes sense to default to that (and is a lot closer to the language foreigners learn)

The reason for the dark storied in the original fairy tales is to teach a lesson, to stand as a warning for children intimidated by them. There is so much educational content in them which Disney cut out, stripping the tales from their original purpose. That's (one of the reasons) why I hate Disney.

Similar situation in South Tyrol (an province at the border to Austria): the german-speaking minority (who is the majority in the province) primarily uses italian curse words. A theory I once read trying to explain this is that you hope that God is less likely to notice you when you curse in a different language.

I have a B60 in my ProxMox machine explicitly for their SR-IOV Support, I also got gaming to run on a Windows VM. Have not yet tried LLMs, but I plan to.

I use PassAndroid (https://f-droid.org/packages/org.ligi.passandroid)

but it looks unmaintained now

genau dieses ist mir letzte Woche passiert, ich dachte das ist inzwischen eine Sache der dunklen Vergangenheit, aber ja... PSA wenn ihr mal ein Führungszeugnis online beantragt auf www.fuehrungszeugnis.bund.de kein Passwort länger als 16-20 Zeichen eingeben.

Warum sie nicht eine zentrales Benutzerkonto einbinden wie, sagen wir mal, die Bund ID, z.B., oder die eID als Login, weil man sie ja eh schon braucht dafür, keine Ahnung. IT des Bundes oder so...

besonders bitter, wenn das Samstag abends passiert.

ich vermute um die Pkatzierung des Textes so zu ermöglichen. Naher Osten: am östlichen Mittelmeer. Näherer Osten: Ukraine / Russland

I can throw South Tyrol into the mix. It's italian territory, but most of the population speaks a bavarian (german) dialect, it's culturally very Austrian (used to be Austria until end of WW1) and is very geographically beautiful. It's also a rich province and I think teacher's pay is also decent, but can also be expensive compared to other places in Italy.

The people can be strange and seem secluded, but I would say we are generally open-hearted and friendly. Catholicism is, however, like everywhere in the Alpine region, a big part of the culture, but most participate only for those reasons and I never experienced any sexuality motivated hate. Fun fact: my elementary school religion (!) teacher out themselfs to us as lesbian, and years later they transitioned and a'were still teaching there (however, different subjects).

The school system is a bit weird also: there are german schools, where italian is tought as a second language, and vice versa. English is part of both schools types. There are few private schools (I went to one of those, they have to still conform with teaching curricula etc.) and afaik the qualifications for teachers are more relaxed there; they usually filter applicants on a more individual basis.

Also ich hab das selbige ohne Smartphone am Wochenende gemacht, musste dafür durch ein paar Hürden springen und temporär ein neues HA aufsetzen (wegen Bluetooth), aber dann konnte ich alle vier Ikea Geräte, die ich habe, problemlos joinen. Dabei lag der RasbPi so eher mitten im Raum und die Geräte verteilt und die Reichweite hat gereicht.

Ich glaube ein Gerät musste ich zweimal versuchen, aber weiß nicht mehr welches und das konnte an Allem gelegen haben.

do you know if they work the other way around, i.e. can connect Aqara devices to a generic Zigbee Hub/Coordinator? I have a SLZB and wanted to look into an Aqara Sensor.

If you are getting a dedicated Zigbee controller maybe you could switch all Aqara devices to it.

the simplest answer is language and cultural barries which form some sense of individual nationalistic identity many (especially older) people are not ready to give up yet.

In addition to that, many states treat and market to their citizens the EU as a burden that just imposes strict regulations and gives money to the others (e.g. Greece). They obviously neglect to inform their citizens of all the positive stuff and profits we get from a strong Union. And, consequentually, popular politicians don't see the EU as a higher stepping stone, if they are well established in their country. In the EU Parliament you mostly have lesser known local politicians and those, who the established local parties wanted to get rid of (in Brussels they are far away from any local government decision).

Unfortunately I have to disagree that "most people know" or, worse, that they understand. We in the Open Tech world (Fediverse etc.) have built ourselfs some hard echochambers reinforcing our views, but outside of that in theb"common people" world it's completely different.

How often did I hear "don't make such a fuss about it, they already know everything" or "I don't care about their data collection, I would give them more data, if I could get a slice of the pie [money from targeting]."

I think Sanders is doing this to reach out to the tech-illiterate people using AI, Google, Amazon, etc. for everyday tasks, getfing served Ads on Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, whatever, manipulating their thought processes. I peraonally am so irritated when I actually get presented an ad, as it just does not happen in every day browsing, that I always have to ponder how people are living with fhis every day.

adding to this very good answer: especially in Europe legal, cultural and language borders can differ quite a bit due to history and geography. I'm from South Tyrol, an italian province at the Austrian border. The majority of people there speak a german dialect, we have german schools, public administration and everything, but are a language minority in Italy. The historic explanation is that after WW1 this region became part of Italy, taken fron Austria-Hungary.

Further there is a third official language in South Tyrol, basically only spoken in two valleys anymore, the "Ladin". It's a very old language, related to similar language island in adjacent italian provinces and Switzerland. Those languages basically just preserved themselves for geographic reasons (hard accessible valleys and mountains). for this reason those languages tend to differ already between to neighbouring valleys. I was tought, that most of South Tyrol spoke Ladin at some point, but after the Swiss turned Calvinistic, the catholic (and austrian) bishop of the region forced the south-tyroleans to speak german to distance them from the heretic Swiss.^^

During WW2 the fascists in Italy forced South Tyrol to speak italian and forbade everything german, including local, personal and family names; one reson certainly was to enforce this ideology of "one nation, one culture, one people".

Returning to OPs question: In South Tyrol there are german schools, where you learn italian and english as mandatory second languages, analogously for italian schools. Both languages are valid for any official entity (in theory). In the valleys mentiined above, they also have ladin schools.
