Pop a window open with a your app in it (with the user’s permission) without a back button if you want that.

A web page should be a document, not an experience.

Reddit has been doing this when I click a result from a Google search (yeah, sometimes you have to)

It’s fucking annoying and I hope whatever JavaScript trick lets them do this gets blocked

Don’t buy any of those toilet tank tablets. They often will corrode and wear down the tank valve over time, and your toilet will start to run on its own (or could even break).

White vinegar is good on any wood or porous surface because it’s small enough to get inside and kill the biological things (black mold, etc) while bleach just tends to just clean the surface and evaporate quickly.

The thunk and all the silverware and glasses rattling lol

Processes that run on the same system can run as different users (including kernel) which is used for privilege separation. This can still allow a program in userland to peer into otherwise restricted system processes or the kernel. Every system is a “multi-user” system, even if there is only a single human user.

Front-loaders usually restrict you from opening the door before they’re drained, or else some idiot would flood their apartment.

Why do that when there is a direct Shelly integration in HomeAssistant?

HomeAssistant is not cumbersome in the slightest. The only issue is that you have to set it up yourself, so if you do it poorly then it’s cumbersome. People post beautiful dashboards and automation blueprints daily multiple places around the internet.

Honestly the most mildly infuriating thing is that you have this whole bunch of devices tightly integrated with an easy local solution and you decided to use their cloud app. You never use the cloud app! It’s always a trap. I don’t even use the Nabu Casa cloud stuff from HA.

My brother in Christ, if you have Shelly why don’t you just run HomeAssistant which controls them locally? https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/shelly/

Why would you ever hand some server on the internet control of your own fucking home?!

Join us !homeassistant

I didn’t even realize this was a thing already. The apps need to add this ASAP, seems like a pretty vital part of making the experience smooth.

Probably important to also include that personal property is not private property. Private property would be means of production such as farms or factories - they are owned by the workers collectively. You still can have a house, a bed, a refrigerator, a TV, etc.

You wouldn’t be able to lift the door without the spring acting as a counterweight. It’s usually a big roller just above the doorway on the inside (right near where the track curves in) with cables that run down to the bottom door panel.

So yeah, huge spring under constant tension.

Lemmy is AGPL v3.0. From what I understand, that means anyone running Lemmy (or a fork of Lemmy) needs to make their source code public, even if their code changes are strictly to support their own network infrastructure.

it really doesn’t matter though, as a corporation only needs to implement an interface to Lemmy via ActivityPub protocols; in other words it they could write a completely closed-source backend to use for profit and as long as it can poop out the correct data structures over ActivityPub to allow Lemmy instances to understand it, it will work.

This already happens as we can see and subscribe to kbin magazines, and Mastodon users can be @'d and IIRC can reply to comments via Hoot (or whatever they call it). Kinda wild, but it also leaves the door open to literally whoever.

I think the real interesting question is will a large corporate player be able to maintain a captive userbase? None of the doomsday scenarios play out in their favor unless they can capture users and communities - because then the usefulness of the whole thing rides on their server being available. At that point it’s reddit with more steps - they can do what they want.

EDIT: oh you said “sploof” so I glanced over it. Seems the term “spoof” (as in to fake) has been telephone’d by stoners over the last 20 years because I’ve never heard “sploof” in my life. Sounds like some Rick & Morty shit.

Original post: Build a spoof, homie.

Take a plastic coke bottle, poke holes in the bottom about 1/8” across, in each of the feet

Stuff that bitch fulla dryer sheets

Blow your hits through it

Now it smells like you used fabreeze for bong water but at least it’s not blatant

OP:

I run Arch btw

Everyone thinks about the spying as relating to themselves, the individual.

Google doesn’t give a shit about you. Google gives a shit about us. Collectively. They can monitor the collective soul of the world. When people are busy, when they’re not paying attention, when they’re mad, who, and for how long; how they react to certain subjects…how to get them to listen about certain subjects, how to bring them around to certain subjects, how to keep them disagreeing with other viewpoints, etc.

They’re literally developed “a remote control for the flock” and everyone’s out here like “why do I care if Google see my save games I have 500 hours in CoD so wut”

These men are soyjacks, Donny

These days, with “big data” analysis being possible on such a large scale, it’s possible to gauge the position of the general population, or of subgroup of such with ease. This makes it easy to divide and conquer, to manufacture consent, for whatever those who have access to said analysis desire.

I always tell people, it’s not about your data, it’s about our data.
