Owl Kitty has made quite a few great edits, Jurassic Park with cats is another
I got that reference. Also haha that's Toby Fox covered in foam
Well, TP Link have never been trustworthy. Cheap and trustworthy rarely exist together.
I have the best smart plugs I could acquire - Kasa brand. They're great adapters, but the moment their API call doesn't get a response from their servers, they restart themselves every ten minutes. We all have to make some sacrifices in the journey to net security and independence, and keeping their API unblocked is one of mine.
If anyone wants smart plugs for monitoring purposes the Kasa brand is operable without the TP-Link app. Tapo is far worse. Never go full Tapo.
I second this, particularly slskd, Navidrome and Beets for the server, Symfonium for the client. Lidarr and Tubifarry would be nice to grab new releases but it's not functioning very well.
Industry-wise, seriously just use Tidal, it's cheaper by way of better value. Tidal has had CD quality (24bit 44.1kHz, 1411kbps) as a base and 320kbps mp3 minimum since before Spotify started promising they'll add HiRes soon while offering 320kbps as a maximum.
The only reason someone would prefer Spotify is its partnership with three mainstream smart speaker brands, whereas Tidal is partnered with just one, Sonos. Bluesound too, but that's more niche

No worries, you're welcome to correct me if I got the wrong impression of the instance. I've considered myself leftist ever since I was politically radicalised (working on decreasing it) and I kind of agree that some far left are as crazy as far right. I don't even like talking about political preference in such a bipolar context, life is a scattergraph, but it's sometimes useful.
Eh, blame the English for making the language lmao
I'm all for this

Lemmy is comprised of many instances, many domains, all of which have their own agenda. Some are right-leaning like .ml and .world and the moderators practice similar censorship to Reddit (including but not limited to progressive, controversial, anti-establishment or anything against their personal values), some are extreme hate incel groups that only talk about killing or doxxing people and are unmoderated maybe, some have moderators who endeavour to uphold the ideal of true freedom of speech and refuse to censor anybody, and some (Looking at you, Blåhaj) are left-leaning, have mods that allow everything except hate speech, and aim to protect the queer community from cruelty at all costs.
So the answer is "anything your heart desires". The repercussion or censorship of your contribution depends on the policies of the instance you account with and the instances whose communities you interact with.

Now I'm all for free expression and fuck oppression, however.. I can safely say the NSFW part is the word 'fisting' on the mug.
References to advanced sexual acts are simply far too vulgar for youngsters' eyes. Imagine: a six year old in the era of questioning everything, recognising that the term's meaning is unbeknownst to them and deciding to ask their parent. The abject horror of a parent coming face-to-face with the slightly awkward dilemma of blowing off the answer, lying or telling the truth. Because that is literally the worst that can happen if a child sees a word they don't know the meaning to. These weak-chinned traditional folk seem to think that the very sight of an uncensored word like 'fisting' will magically unlock a portal of knowledge, imbuing the child with a graphic understanding of it.
There's a reason hundreds of childrens' entertainment shows and movies have adult jokes in them - no child ever watches Shrek and gets the pop-culture joke about Farquaad having a small dick.
There's a serious issue with Not Safe For Work tags being used to mean Not Safe For Children but that's another argument entirely

On one hand, the government can absolutely afford to piss money away on stolen toilet rolls or whatever. On the other hand, this locking-down only happened because some people couldn't be trusted and did the stealing in the first place. If everyone had respect for public amenities this likely wouldn't have happened
I mean, I'm not a nationalist; idgaf where the corporation's base of operations is, they're untrustworthy regardless.
Don't worry about feeling slow - I too just got what they meant. The Digital ID, which will have to be voluntarily installed via Google or Apple, will be a mandatory requirement in order to work.
Employers already have to verify employee information with the UK government in order to make sure the government will comply with the whole chain-link process of labour and wages. This is supposed, in addition to eliminating "illegal immigrants", to streamline that verification.
I haven't witnessed it but given the nationalism Britain is famous for I'm sure that the UK government has also placed some ID verification barrier to filter out all the 'dirty illegals' trying to legally acquire a home.
After all, the government already monetises every aspect of every single resident's existence. They simply must know who lives where, as the government claims ownership of all land and all properties; buying a home is just renting from them.
Take this helpful explanation from Gemini:
Got the best copy, but I had to dip into Facebook to get it -- shudders
I am about to find a less cropped version, and I couldn't help but appreciate Gemini explaining the post:
Bruh if you so much as spit on said cruiser you'll be wanted by the police for terrorism, despite the definition of terrorism being to threaten harm to civilians....
Before I submit, I want to clarify that I have read the UK Government's definition of terrorism, and as it's a stupid ass definition, I elected to ignore it.
"..as the use or threat of.. ..serious damage to property.. ..designed to influence the government.. ..for the purpose of advancing [an].. ..ideological cause."
As we know, damaging property belonging to anyone else, regardless of how many people will be saved, is against the legal law and punishable. HOWEVER, going back to their own law...
"..as the use or threat of.. ..serious violence against a person [OR] endangering a person's life (other than that of the person committing the action) [OR] creating a serious risk to the health or safety of the public or a section of the public.. ..which involves the use of firearms or explosives is terrorism regardless of whether or not the action is designed to.. ..intimidate the public.. ..for the purpose of advancing a political, religious, racial or ideological cause.. ..Action includes action outside the United Kingdom."
By their own law, any organisation intending to assist in the wilful and unprovoked violence against people, with explosives or firearms, is by their definition a terrorist. This defines the UK government and many companies as terrorists, coconspirators of Israel.The disclaimer "other than that of the person committing the action" absolves anyone of the definition if they are doing so to stop the attacker. This defines Palestine Action as innocent as they were acting to stop the attacking arms company.
But the only reason these interpretations are not the case in reality is because the government a) choose which laws to uphold and when, and b) defend their decision by lying that the Palestinian people were the instigators of their own eradication by the various countries of the world.
Sorry, I know this is just a meme
I haven't seen the lights go red, only off, then orange, then green if they were already on.
Of my KP105 and KP115 plugs, only one has misbehaved, only once when their server was unreachable. The main culprit is the Kasa 303 I think it's called? The 3-outlet adapter.
They are great devices! But I'm waiting for a Zigbee or Matter alternative with energy monitoring so these can be swapped out
