  • Take a look at the Adaptive Lighting integration if you haven't already. You can set the colour/temp/brightness of your bulbs for daytime and nighttime, per zone if you want, and it will nicely fade over a set period around dawn and dusk.

    Also, the first time I wrote that last sentence it got autocorrected to "around dawn and dick".

  • The correct answer.

  • I came here to see if anyone mentioned Home Assistant + Adaptive Lighting. Every single lightbulb in my house is at least a colour temperature bulb and most of them are controlled by Adaptive Lighting. It's hard to explain just how well it works and how nice it is to have a nook or hallway be ceiling lit and daylight-bright during the day, then warm and cozy by lamplight in the evening.

  • I maintain that the best sugar-free cola you can buy is Freeway XL, the in-house brand at Lidl. Way better than Pepsi Max or Coke Zero.

  • I agreed completely until Downsizing came out. What the fuck was that movie even about?

  • That'd be like me wearing a t-shirt with a picture of a haunted house of mirrors.

  • I was at a show in Berlin once and a saw a guy take another guy's dick up his dickhole. Still haunts me.

  • What about you?

  • Fhourthi innit?

  • Agreed, there is no objectively perfect way of measuring this stuff. My point mainly is that the author of the article picked one data point, took it out for context and built an entire lie on that. It's very much a "look at this snow - so much for global warming" argument. But also, we keep hearing how much Windows is tanking and yet all the metrics we have show it's actually doing well. Do people like it? No, I don't think they do. Do I personally want to see Windows crash and burn? Yes, at least in it's current form. But for all the frustration and anecdotes it doesn't look like it's going anywhere, and I don't think any decision-makers will be convinced that Windows is failing when all the available stats suggest otherwise.

  • The cat just wants a baby so it can sleep on it's warm face.

  • Clickbait bullshit.

    The source shows that Windows 11 usage has been steadily climbing for a long time, including in January - the latest data available - but presumably that didn't fit their narrative so they ignored all the data except the data single point that they liked which corresponds to the month where every business shuts down for a week.

    Statcounter shows that not only is Windows use increasing, but also that Windows 11's share is too.

    I don't expect anyone here to be happy about these things - I certainly can't say I am - but pretending the Windows is in the middle of an epic downfall when it actually appears to be doing fine won't help anyone except Microsoft.

  • The thing I find particularly annoying about W is that they could have just forked BlueSky and set up the first serious AtProtocol federation.

  • Can we be like the Beneluxians or Scandinavians instead?

  • Easier said than done for a country that size, but I always think it would be amazing if Finland could band together with a couple dozen or so other European countries to form some kind of cooperative Union that would allow the creation of this kind of project. I also imagine that if such a thing did exist and you were a part of it you'd have to be a complete fucking dickbasket to leave it but that's neither here nor there.

  • Do you know why 7 8 9? Because you're supposed to get three square meals a day.

  • Imagine having one hundred million euros (dollars, pounds, whatever) and genuinely thinking that happiness is just another hundred million away. They are all broken, failed humans.
