  • No, that denies their culpability. They aren't insane; they're criminally evil and need to pay.

  • I'm disappointed that the Saturnaliaposting started after the holiday was over (it's supposed to be from the 17th to the 23rd).

    Yes, it's partly my fault for missing it too, but still...

  • There's a lot of stuff that can work with Home Assistant, but it's essentially never listed as a feature on the package, so normal people will never know it's an option.

    That's the problem -- the lack of marketing -- not any lack of functionality on Home Assistant's part.

  • It's not that I forgot about the Korean War, it's that I wasn't aware it had any significant naval component for which battleships were relevant.

  • Of course it requires some tinkering and is not accessible to all users.

    Yeah, that's the point. None of that helps normies who just want to buy the first product they see and have it "just work."

    (And I say "first product they see" because, although Tasmota/ESPHome/WLED devices are available from e.g. Amazon, if not brick-and-mortar stores, if you look hard enough, they're definitely not what Amazon pushes at you. Amazon wants you to fall for their marketing and infest your house with Alexa so they can exfiltrate even more personal data, up to and including the floor plan if you buy one of their affiliated smart vacuums.)

  • EDIT: Also I don't see the supposed censorship people are claiming.

    The headline says "d!ed." With an exclamation point instead of an i.

  • "Yeah, well, I'm gonna go build my own wire! With ions! And plasma!"

  • I've been posting "it's always projection" over and over and over again because it keeps being accurate, but holy shit!

  • It's not adopted widely because every single smart home device marketed to normies is infected with cloud bullshit. Go to Home Depot or whatever and look on the shelf: literally every single product will have "Works with Alexa," "Works with Google Home," and/or "Works with Apple HomeKit" badges stamped all over the package, but not a single one will mention a damn thing about Home Assistant even when the device actually is compatible. The closest you get is ones that mention "Matter" 'cause it's at least supposed to be a standard, but it feels like it's getting slow-walked harder than CableCard sometimes (and if you don't remember how that worked out, the answer is "not well").

    I would almost call it a conspiracy against openness, but it's really just the banal result of no rent-seeking leading to no excess profit to plow back into marketing... which is even worse.

  • All these comments and nobody's basic-bitch enough to mention Imagine by John Lennon? I don't know if it's the best song, but it's the obvious first one I thought of when I read the question.

  • The archaic letters are one thing, but I cannot abide the comma splice!

  • Maybe something to do with ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliance? Europe tolerates a lot less accessibility by necessity since they have so many older buildings, so maybe that translates over into having more tolerance for stairs when boarding planes?

  • They don't get to dictate the one true way, and rewrite history.

    Exactly, which is why you shouldn't believe them when they pretend conservatism is anything but defending hierarchy.

  • "More damage, then Vietnam[-scale damage in addition]"

  • Just like 1995 Internet compared to 2025 Internet.

  • "Conserving the corrupt establishment" is the only thing "conservative" has ever meant. Any claims to the contrary have only ever been lies intended to delude their marks and useful idiots.
