Hey! Rogue One was better than any of the Sequel Trilogy movies, there I said it. It’s not great, but at least it was not a clear destruction of an amazing saga, just a tiny side-story. Some people couldn’t see it yet with The Force Awakens due to all the nostalgia flooding in… but it was pretty obvious to me they were just ripping-off the originals, and by the last movie everyone understood that it was all just a very, very, veeeery bad idea.
Like many I have tried several of the Lemmy android apps. I looked at Thunder and, while I liked the overall look, it wasn’t finished enough to be default for me. Well things have changed. The addition of community icons and a gorgeous profile section got me. I only see it getting better. Thanks dev(s)! Thunder is lightning.
BTW I am talking about posts on the feed being easier to recognize by bundling the community logo alongside the community name… hopefully it’s that and not some other thing.

Turns out, there’s something in our brains that trigger instinctive fears. This is good for survival, generally.
Some people have too much of that, so they become very afraid of things (phobias) or they might even develop more serious mental issues.
On the other side of the spectrum, there’s these guys you talk about. People who were predisposed or either “learned” to be more “fearless”, the most extreme guys being basically already dead by stupidity.

Yeah, so it’s more or less what I was thinking. This is something that currently does NOT exist with Zigbee, right? I could have a Zigbee light bulb that speaks in a specific obscure language, whereas all Matter lightbulbs understand and send the same information.
I just tried to upgrade Ubuntu and I suddenly see that new packages want to be installed; snapd and firefox. I don’t need Firefox because I’m already using Firefox-ESR as a deb and I certainly don’t need snaps....
My advice: time to move on. Ubuntu has been like that for a while and they have plans to go even further, so move to Debian, which is basically Ubuntu without the issues. Even Firefox-ESR is the default in Debian.
I have to say that I feel that currently the most consumed contents in the Internet are mostly human-written; and my proof is actually that it is now when the tendency is clearly changing. I have stumbled upon a few AI-generated articles already in the past few months, without looking for them specifically. You could tell because it sometimes focuses on weird details, or even I have seen l some kind of
as an AI, I do not have an opinion on the subject […]
which is so funny when you see it.
So, yeah, it is definitely starting to happen, and in the next few years I wouldn’t be surprised if 30 to 50 % of articles are just AI blorbs built for clicks.
How to avoid this? We can’t. The only way would be to shut down the Internet, forbid computers and go back to a simpler life. And that, for many reasons will not happen unless some world-class destruction event happens.
I find this very much like a dream that will… stay a dream. Who defines human-curated websites or true journalism if I don’t even really know you are an AI bot?
Also, who says people will not like AI content? Because the world will still be full of the same people who buy Apple products and piss on “green bubble” people.

Hi! I’m new to home assistant and I’m wondering what would be worth the cost.

I am sure you have at least a couple of instances in a week where you go “damn, I forgot to switch the lights”.
You are tired on your sofa and wanna watch a movie but the lights are too bright.
You want to simulate someone is home so you don’t get robbed.
meeting mode: warning them with a red bulb in the living room, and lowering the TVs volume all in just a click, while ensuring that your robot vacuum stops cleaning and resumes later.
get a warning that your room’s humidity level is high, and directly offering a button for launching AC.
All those things I have not done, yet. I don’t even have the Zigbee dongle. But surely through the following months and years I will find little things that I could do that sum up to a lot of comfort and saving time.
Also, relay switches and sensors are so cheap it can simply be a fun hobby.
I think apps become really relevant in the federated world, as it allows to manage multiple accounts at the same time, in the same place, allowing for quick switching, etc, while simplifying so much workflow (and making server requests lighter too!)....
