And some of us might not even be in Italy.

Maybe they'll try to start a second solar industry so they can kill it off again.

Even though this meme shows MMBN 4, arguably the weakest game of the series. Still damn good games overall.

Yeah. Baking is chill because the ingredients are effectively standardized and fungible so if you just follow the steps it's hard to screw up. You usually only heat the baked good once and that happens in isolation.

Meanwhile, cooking is anarchy. Just because one piece of chicken breast took five minutes on medium heat doesn't mean that the next one will. You constantly have to monitor and adapt to changing conditions and everything from ingredients to measurements to the very steps of the recipe itself is up for negotiation. And you have to do half the steps while heating the meal and if you ever take too long for something you burn it and it's ruined.

When I bake I'm relaxed. When I cook I'm in nonstop crisis management mode.

The AfD reflexively gave a statement that any suspicions against their MPs are completely unwarranted.

Or, even worse, the video shows them one word at a time.

There are also some subtle variations in agnosticism.

There's the soft variety that says "there is no proof that convinces me either way but I won't rule out that someone could come up with one".

There's the hard variety that says "I don't think it's possible to prove either way".

There's even a variety that says "it doesn't matter whether (a) god exists or not, hence there's no need for a proof".

But yeah, the core of agnosticism is that you don't believe the existence of (a) god has been conclusively proven or disproven and are unwilling to commit either way without that proof.

Oh, that's simple. Just have the law require all end user OSes to have government-verified ID check functionality that is out of the user's control and the integrity of it protected by Secure Boot.

Accessing any online service with an operating system capable of manipulating or bypassing the check will be considered some flavor of hacking or fraud.

Boom, done. All the privacy activists go into the slammer and Microsoft gets to sell a new version of Windows to everyone.

Someone will definitely pass a law that will make it effectively impossible to legally operate a server and then be all surprised when companies threaten to move their datacenters elsewhere.

I am kinda giving them shit for when someone pointed out that they're essentially storing PII completely unsecured and their response was "you should use app isolation anyway". That is not a good security model.

Okay, new scheme: Every continental shield is a continent. Everything not on one is terra incognita. Continental platforms are just delusional sea floor.

Certainly that classification won't lead to any confusion.

I'm looking to replace an existing Hue setup and some dumb lamps, especially since Hue is hiding basic functionality behind a user account these days. I'm thinking of going with Nanoleaf instead.

What I have right now:

  • Bridge: Hue bridge
  • Living room: Hue pendant light + Hue E27 bulb, controlled by a Hue switch and optionally synced to a Linux PC running Huenicorn
  • Bedroom: Hue ceiling light, controlled by two Hue switches
  • Guest room: Dumb LED light
  • Bathroom: Dumb LED light

What I want to install:

  • Bridge: SLZB-06* for Matter+Thread, optionally talking to a Home Assistant instance
  • Living room: 2x 3-pack Nanoleaf Skylight, controlled by a Sense+ switch and optionally synced to a 4D V1 camera
  • Bedroom: Nanoleaf E27 bulb, controlled by two Sense+ switches
  • Guest room: Nanoleaf E27 bulb, controlled a Sense+ switch
  • Bathroom: Nanoleaf E27 bulb, controlled a Sense+ switch

Now there's a few questions I have:

  • Would this setup work or am I missing something? Nanoleaf's website is quick to mention several home automation hubs, none of which I want to operate.
  • Can I actually sync the Skylights with the 4D camera? The documentation only seems to talk about the corresponding light strips.
  • Is there another option for screen syncing that works with Linux?
  • Can I set a bulb to change its color temperature on a fixed cycle? If so, I could skip one of the Sense+ switches.
  • If Nanoleaf's stuff is unsuitable for my needs, is there another alternative that isn't Hue?
