Matter is fine too. It’s off the cloud. MQTT is great but generally not exposed directly to the consumer.

We americans have been conditioned to accept common means convenient.

It is of the utmost importance that you understand I see what you did there.

Man, FireWire was such a cool name for an interface.

You would think after ditching a bunch of rich fuckers on an island they wouldn’t get another chance to try that again.

I like my home automation tech but it needs to serve a purpose. Just being connected to wifi is not a selling point for me. Lights that turn on in the morning when I need to wake up are great. A thermostat that can reduce energy usage when nobody is home is also great. But a grill….what the fuck does Internet access do to improve the grilling experience?

And if it requires the cloud to work, I don’t consider it a functional product.

But people in the real world don’t like talking to me.

Enter the calm and quiet room

Pass out torches and pitchforks, guns and knives

“Snaps exist”

War erupts.

there is no company forcing you to do things their way

IBM would like to do have a few words.

That wiki is by far the best part of arch.

Tampermonkey is a Firefox extension that can run scripts to interact with web pages. It’s great for bulk operations like mass deletes.

Reddit is intentionally holding onto my data. The are intentionally trying to keep it even though accounts go away. Since I’m an American in a red state there’s only so much I can do about this. But Reddit’s intentionally preventing my data from being deleted. This is intended behavior by their site.

I’ll fuckin do it again

I miss what Reddit used to be. It was great. But in the end it was just so so so bad. Some of the subreddit were as bad as kiwifarms, and others were terrified of becoming like that so they overcorrected and it became a platform of extremes.

Facebook is a right wing cesspool. It doesn’t matter what you set your preferences to, you are getting right wing propaganda and you are going to like it. I killed that account.

Honestly, even running away from for profit operations might not be enough soon. We’ll all be on fucking ramble using i2p soon enough.

I’ve been working to delete all my stuff on a banned Reddit account before I delete it. Most of my accounts are done except for two. One I can’t get into for some reason. The other is my main and it keeps lying about or hiding my posts so I can’t get to all of them and delete them. I have tampermonkey scripts that have been running for days and there’s STILL shit that keeps reappearing after reddit pretends to delete it.

You don’t get to keep my content AND ban me from using your platform. I’ll just keep whacking away at it until it’s dead but fuck it’s this a needlessly complicated pain in the ass.

X86 gonna x86.

To be fair, those pretty old designs produced a lot of plastic waste. The aluminum ones are much better for the environment. Still, I do miss the interesting designs, shapes, textures and colors.

No. Debian is much easier. Archinstall is still super easy to piss off.

I love children. But I could never eat a whole one.

There are easier ways to get that data without having to trick people into downloading an app. Trump has palantir and Israel in his pocket. He already knows where they all are. The app just lets us all know where they are.

Trump doesn’t like playing a fair game because he can’t win those.

These dumb fuckers STILL haven’t figured out the Streisand effect.
