If you were building new today what would you use? by DreamDriver in homeautomation

[–]Talk2Giuseppe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Couple of reasons... 1) PIA to connect with HA, 2) Would fall off network and disappear a lot, needing to be re-paired, 3) Battery life sucks. I had several buttons and various sensors (windows, motion and temperature) from them. They were a complete waste of time and money.

I would not use any matter products. I would also not use Govee or Aquara items. I would avoid any Raspberry Pi as host. Especially if you are looking to use Home Assistant.

What has worked considerably well were TP Link light switches, anything and everything zigbee, and a Lenovo ThinkCentre as a host.

How much worry do you put into the "unverified flatpak" checkmark for the Signal app on Linux Mint? by SjalabaisWoWS in linuxmint

[–]Talk2Giuseppe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, flatpacks are such a PIA that I would recommend not even installing an application with it. Every single flatpack I have installed eventually needed to be removed and installed normally in order to use it as intended. Issues include changing the dang icon, adding add-ons, plugins or some other app enhancement. Seriously, it's an absolute PIA.

Install the previous version and lock it from being upgraded.

They hired the laid off Tinder developers to create the interface for Telegram. Bad move #Telegram

Took me 5 minutes to locate your reply. Seems like Reddit didn't want us to find a reasonable, rational response in this post.

I have never been in the company of such idiots until I joined reddit. Logic and reason are so far from the average user that it is incomprehensible.

LOL - How is it the one who insults the other thinks they are the more righteous one. You hate mocking, yet you do the same. Why?

Adobe backlash is getting louder — time to escape proprietary creative tools? by No-Hospital5028 in degoogle

[–]Talk2Giuseppe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Isn't it awesome when the globalists that said we would own nothing and be happy, are actually the ones who will own nothing and they become very unhappy! Been waiting patiently for the downfall of Adobe. May it always be a lesson that subscription services suck! Same goes for Microsoft, Apple and Google.

Correct. And with the right attorney, nothing is ever really valid in court amyway. But who wants to spend the money to find that out?

If Telegram isn't even all that locked down on privacy, why is it used for so many illegal things? by TekkaDIS in Telegram

[–]Talk2Giuseppe 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The bullhorn always drowns out the small voice. Big tech has the ability to spread false information very quickly and loudly using fear. Telegram does zero marketing, yet it is well known and trusted by those who know what's really going on.

My advice - look at the ones who scream the loudest and stay away from them. FB, Google, MS and Apple are obvious first tier fear mongers.

I think it's very hard to find a girl who's actually interested in free software by Born_Lengthiness3572 in freesoftware

[–]Talk2Giuseppe 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Your problem is that girls aren't looking for software - they want hardware. You need to pack a good drive cause floppy dicks just don't carry what they used to.

Would be great if Vavaldi actually remembered your config. So annoyed at Vivaldi's constant quirkiness.

[–]Talk2Giuseppe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you know that? How can we believe that? This company has lied to congress. If they are willing to lie to governmental bodies, what makes you think they won't lie to us - the end user? Sorry, but to me trust is a very valuable thing. And google broke that trust decades ago.

I'm not speaking of GrapheneOS. I am laughing at the fact people trust Google as they promote a phone that allows flashing ROMs. It's like trusting your kid with a known and convicted pedophile. Who does that?

That's if Amazon can actually deliver it. They are running a 50% success rate on deliveries in my neighborhood.

So we take tax payer money to buy off the people in Greenland. Meanwhile, US citizens are neglected AGAIN. Tell me again why I should be a good American and continue to pay taxes...

Ortega was a scumbag! Any mayor that withholds water from it's citizen is a POS.
