  • This reminds me of a friend who told me about a decade ago that smoking "hadn't killed him yet".

    Kurt's been gone for 3 years now. He was right, the smoking didn't get him, but his lungs packed it in during covid. Surprise, surprise.

  • Steam engines? Plenty of those ran the Industrial Revolution factories.

  • I just farted and waved it in the general direction of the US. Enjoy.

  • Oh, did she finally get tired of gaslighting everyone about Elon's bullshit? Apparently they paid enough for her to look like a toadying liar for enough years to get her rich enough to fuck off.

  • I was the 3-year-old ring bearer.

  • I'm in literally the middle of nowhere, the next nearest house is 4 miles away and I'm not even connected to the grid. If there's a wifi signal detectable, it'll be mine. So I've shifted frequencies around trying to get it to stabilize, with little luck. I've primarily been using Sonoff, Aqara, Ikea and SMLight, and hubs from each of them.

    Honestly, I've been migrating to zwave since I don't seem to have issue with anything I use on that protocol.

  • Things are bad when I consider being kidnapped by the Chinese government as less likely than the US.

  • It makes sense. Hopefully it's more reliable than my Zigbee devices. I constantly have to power cycle devices made by a variety of manufacturers to get them to register again. And I've tried more than a few zigbee hubs. Can't say I'm a fan.

  • Every show and movie has become a preachy soapbox. It's fucking tiring and you just want to turn it off because you suddenly get slapped in the face with irrelevant "causes" instead of just zoning out and being entertained. The suspension of disbelief gets exhausted at yet another 110lb hottie thrashing a 6'-4 steroid monster that could backhand her across the room in real life.

  • Thing like this are why there's a million settings in KDE; every dev is prepared for the inevitable "but I hate it, make it go away" complaint. Granted, this complainer was pretty respectful and threw in a donation to soften the blow. Most people just act entitled, like the dev personally affronted them with their update.

  • I'm not taking any bets on what the US will do. Probably help China or some such shit.

  • I can own a corporation, so this would follow.

  • None of these petitions have ever resulted in anything. Make an appt with your MP and send personal letters when they refuse that.
