  • I set up a new HA install a couple months ago and didn’t write any YAML. It was kind of nice? The UI tools have come a long way and it discovered all my devices which had never happened before.

    The thread you shared is worrying though, it’s the complete opposite of the spirit of FOSS. I should probably reconsider paying for their subscription at a minimum.




  • The answer is because they only made Android open in the first place to differenciate themselves because they couldn’t compete on hardware.

    Now that they can, they are slowly but surely locking everyone else out to ensure their product is superior. The agreements OEMs have to agree to for Google Play are wildly anti-competitive, in my view.






  • It’s really not a misunderstanding if you fail to communicate that at all! Every bit of what you said made it sound like you all swooped in from reddit (given none of the mods I’ve seen have any interactoin with any other lemmy communities) to take over people who were already posting content.

    Maybe that’s not what’s happening, which is great! People are obviously confused, so you’re not doing a good job of explaining yourselves or what’s happening in any event.


  • That’s… not really what I said?

    I think having multiple communities about the same subject on different instances can be interesting and potentially good!

    I just think in this case there wasn’t really a need to make a new community, when the main difference is a mod team from a different website. The tone of the post struck me as telling the community what to do. I was a little assumptive, I suppose.

    I used to mod a subreddit/discord that has already had a couple lemmy communities pop up, so this is something I’ve been talking about with friends for a bit. I’m personally hoping to see moderators of reddit communities making space for new people to run things.
