Because you said that was not the point of the article and I asked you to clarify why you think it wasn’t. But never mind. This is going nowhere.

Why not? If the starting point of the article is that we can’t design interfaces based on our elitist 5 percenter knowledge then the remedy for that would be…?
I’m using a lepotato for Home Assistant. Works very well for months now, but I’m a bit worried about long term distro support
I wonder why user tests aren’t even mentioned once in the article. If you design an interface you have to test it with your audience
Did you know you can edit your posts? Could be helpful for other readers since you were incorrectly posting in several messages that wine needs root access.
The video’s title “worst car ever reviewed” was not as balanced though :D
There are some media reports claiming that there was simply another unidentified participant in the conference call and they didn’t notice. 🤷
Media Corporations should not have a say in disconnecting users from the internet based on copyright infringement. The right to social participation is part of a basic human right - self-determination. Today, the majority of interactions with society involve communication via internet in one way or another, so that access to the internet is vital for enabling social participation.
Technically it’s not the same, in case of IMAP they would need to literally put spam mails into your account. As opposed to having visual elements in the UI that pretend to be an email. Might not feel like a big difference but actively poisoning the users inbox is pretty bad.
Having a dedicated technical architect who hovers above the dev team handing architectural decisions down is also not always seen as an ideal construct in software development.
If you tell your kid McD is something special then whenever you pass a McD it will feel a craving and want it. This is how brand obedient consumers are made. If instead you let them have McD for a week or two they will see the food for what it is.
Fsst food chains hate this simple trick
That looks like advice on how NOT to ask for technical support on a public forum.
Deutsche Gründlichkeit at work. They not only infiltrate the party but take it over completely, up to the point where they do such a good job in pretending to be nazis that they become nazis themselves. 💯
I was wondering if that might be a thing. Saw people talk about “the codes” instead of “code” more than once.
At that point we’re at their mercy.
Or maybe at that point you’ll begin to realize that you might not need all of this stuff, and that happyness comes from other sources. But that is just my personal approach, by all means do whatever you like.
Time to resurrect a classic

I wanted to start a new home automation project for fun and tried to minimize dedicated hardware requirements.And also to do it in a way that no cloud services are needed and everything including the vacuum robot runs locally.
But you are right, if you’re happy with your setup, no need for a change and I guess the TOS change only concerns the Hue App, not the hub.
The Philips TOS change was the reason I got into Home Assistant. I have the Sonoff ZBdongle-P, which was pre-flashed and uses ZHA. I had an absolutely flawless experience in using that instead of the Hue Bridge so far. Sure, the initial setup took a while but now the lights work without any hiccups whatsoever. Some lights which had problems connecting to the grid with the Hue Bridge before now work even better. Sorry to hear about your experience.
About Home Assistant in general, a lot of research was involved until I got the basics of automation, sensor setup and yaml configuration. I’m controlling stuff like a weather station, my espresso machine states, TV and Amp, and a bunch of environmental sensors. Some of the concepts can feel a little odd at first, but I’m very happy how the whole system turned out. I used OpenHab in the past and that was a much, much worse experience.
From the article: “It is unlikely the Department would ever pursue action against anyone using the Logan Act, given no one has been convicted of violating the 1799 law”
End of story.
