Lemmy.world and Lemmy.ml attract the most users but their (lack of) meaningful moderation really helps prevent users from staying, imo. Most users don't understand that joining a smaller instance is often a better experience. And why would they stick around the Fediverse if their experience is worse than that of Reddit?

The right tool for the right job... LLMs can't do a lot, and can make a lot of things worse when misapplied, but that doesn't mean the technology is wholly useless.

On one hand I desperately want to know what happened to the Living Witness Doctor, but on the other, the mystery makes the ending of that episode so much better.

This only applies if you use their bridge and the bridge is connected to the internet. If you do what I said in my comment (zigbee2mqtt addon with dongle) then there is no path for them to collect. The Zigbee2Mqtt addon allows for firmware updates.

It may feel that way, but there is a lot of evidence pointing to that not being true.

lol nah, instead of the show they'll go watch YouTubers who will tell them to ignore their lying eyes and continue to reiterate that the show is actually a teen drama.

Remember how the main overarching plot of Discovery was all about gender dysmorphia? And how that's all anyone on the show ever talked about? No? Well, according to Youtube it was.

The Doctor still doesn't have a name??

I think I will need to be sold a bit on Holly Hunter, but otherwise this looks pretty great and much better than I expected when announced.

I never thought of that! I am going to use this argument with the family this year...

I found that Phillips Hue bulbs works great with the Zigbee2Mqtt addon (and poorly/not at all with ZHA integration) and the $25 Sonoff dongle. Home Assistant sells their own dongle which I would imagine works even better too.

Hue bulbs are more expensive than most, but people seem to say they have the best color consistency.

If you want to stick with Wifi you could probably just hook up Tasmota plugs to your existing lamps.

This community really needs ~~better~~ moderation IMO.

Great read, I was unfamiliar with this publication. Thanks for sharing.

This is brilliant and a big reason why subscribing to subreddits via rss sucks
