I considered going to a No Kings protest with a sign that reads 'China is not my king' and see how many people get it vs get pissed with me.

All joking aside, the only effective protest is one where you change your habits. I've deleted my Facebook, cancelled YouTube Premium, when my debit cards update I take audit of what I really want to start subbed to, I've replaced Google Photos with Immich, and I'm about to go to farmers markets instead of the big box stores for my grocery shopping.

Some of these are big pivots, others are simply mind over matter. Like, I plan on keeping Reddit until it asks for my ID, so I default to it before I scroll through here. I have Peertube installed but I still get onto YouTube until they ask for my ID. I'm as ready for not being able to access certain platforms as I can be, and I plan on keeping going as long as my ability to stay as anonymous as I want to is threatened.

Home Assistant has notes and a calendar, so I've replaced Google Calendar and Keep Notes with Home Assistant.

I want them to dim as the sun comes up and brighten when the sun goes down. I'll probably also look into smart switches at some point too.

I usually talk to my smart watch for home controls anyway. I don't have enough guests over to justify thinking about that. I need to replace burnt bulbs anyway.

Hi everyone. I recently started my Home Assistant journey by replacing Google Calendar and Keep Notes with Home Assistant. A couple of light bulbs burnt out and I want to replace them with bulbs that I can use exclusivity on Home Assistant and bypass the manufacturers app entirely. What brand should I look for?

These are standard wall mounted lights in my kitchen and my laundry room.

Edit: I'm looking to replace burnt bulbs anyway.

Because it's easier and cheaper than actually protecting people.

I can't imagine going from paying for porn to paying to be humiliated for enjoying porn and thinking I'm doing good.
