This was also my takeaway, it seems so obvious all of the sudden

Just 3.3 cents per day seems pretty reasonable

I would like to see a tax on third properties and above that sit vacant for more than 6 months a year then 10% of the property value as a fine which would go to a ministry supporting unhoused people.

There would probably have to be some provision that if the property is rented out then for tax purposes the rent must be considered at the market rate -15% at the time the agreement was made. Eg a corpo couldn’t rent a bunch of units to a subsidiarity and call them occupied since they are rented arrive they would have to pay income tax on the income.

As an extra to this people might go with the longer term to lock get the deal then after a period that’s so long one of two things happens.

1. the service us great and they are used to using it and keep it going
2. the service isn’t so good and they either renew since they forgot or they cancel and the business got more income that they may not have otherwise got.

If your friend can hold it for 2 more years then they can get a movie made about them.

LLM AIs think any sentence that starts with who what where when, why or how is a question.

Obligatory if you install HA on a raspberry Pi. Use the SSD option as you will wear out an SD card or usb key pretty quickly since those devices aren’t intended for constant writes from things like logging and generally don’t have any wear out leveling.

That’s a neat feature. I will request that gets added to sync.

Respectfully, you are not required to get any information in a format that you don’t want it. But also I don’t have to provide anything in a way that would otherwise inconvenience me for a random stranger who doesn’t even have the decency to say please.

If you don’t have less than 2 minutes for a video then don’t take the time to watch it.

I think this is what you’re looking for.

At home I have 4 screens, 3 in a row and one over top of the center.

The bottom ones change based on what I am doing. Games, browser, IDEs, consoles, terminal windows, etc.

The top is always a better in the left 2/3rd mostly playing music or videos. The right third is Element/Matrix which bridges in all my other chats (FB, WhatsApp, signal, telegram, Discord, gmessages, etc) so I can see them in one tidy spot.

At work I have 8 screens 6 in a 2 tall by 3 wide config, a big one on the side, and another touch screen on the other side. Which is all used for control and monitoring… And often feels like not enough when things get busy.

Whenever this happens, I just think about the song that never ends, it goes on and on my friends. Some people started singing it not knowing what it was, and they’ll continue singing it forever just because…

I have 3 different first party fiber ISPs available to me at home with a max speed available of 8000/8000

Which is weird because I’m not in a city and live in a small town of less than 20k people

There is actually infrastructure involved… payment infrastructure, servers, modems and cell connectivity. Sure none of those things would be needed if there weren’t subscriptions, but there certainly is infrastructure used to verify your subscription and cut you off when you miss a payment.

Have you ever tried using aurora instead of the play store for devices that don’t natively have it?

I think what’s funnier about this is that most home assistant users make purchasing choices based on support in home assistant. So anyone that bought one of their units and used it in home assistant would have just bought something else without the support in home assistant being there.

As a result I would think they actually made more money from having that plugin existing.

I think the issue here is more that interacting with certain companies or services is unavoidable. As an Android user I often will have to interact with iPhone users and the impact of their vendor lock-in techniques is that the experience of those interactions is worse on both sides.

I can’t convince every person to stop using an iPhone, or even just just a different messaging app, most people can’t even agree what to have for dinner…

So users that take it upon themselves to try and improve the experience by trying things like beeper or beeper mini are actually trying to help others maintain their choices and preferences without the degraded experience.

So sometimes a person voting with their dollars isn’t enough, since it’s others choices that still have an impact

Won’t be long until my ai model can produce it’s very own Linux distro complete with 7 fingered keyboard layouts
