Obligatory if you install HA on a raspberry Pi. Use the SSD option as you will wear out an SD card or usb key pretty quickly since those devices aren’t intended for constant writes from things like logging and generally don’t have any wear out leveling.
That’s a neat feature. I will request that gets added to sync.
At home I have 4 screens, 3 in a row and one over top of the center.
The bottom ones change based on what I am doing. Games, browser, IDEs, consoles, terminal windows, etc.
The top is always a better in the left 2/3rd mostly playing music or videos. The right third is Element/Matrix which bridges in all my other chats (FB, WhatsApp, signal, telegram, Discord, gmessages, etc) so I can see them in one tidy spot.

At work I have 8 screens 6 in a 2 tall by 3 wide config, a big one on the side, and another touch screen on the other side. Which is all used for control and monitoring… And often feels like not enough when things get busy.
Whenever this happens, I just think about the song that never ends, it goes on and on my friends. Some people started singing it not knowing what it was, and they’ll continue singing it forever just because…
1000/1000 @ $C 75
I have 3 different first party fiber ISPs available to me at home with a max speed available of 8000/8000
Which is weird because I’m not in a city and live in a small town of less than 20k people
There is actually infrastructure involved… payment infrastructure, servers, modems and cell connectivity. Sure none of those things would be needed if there weren’t subscriptions, but there certainly is infrastructure used to verify your subscription and cut you off when you miss a payment.
Maybe it will be here soon, horizon forbidden west will be out quite soon on PC (mar 21)
Have you ever tried using aurora instead of the play store for devices that don’t natively have it?
I think what’s funnier about this is that most home assistant users make purchasing choices based on support in home assistant. So anyone that bought one of their units and used it in home assistant would have just bought something else without the support in home assistant being there.
As a result I would think they actually made more money from having that plugin existing.
I think the issue here is more that interacting with certain companies or services is unavoidable. As an Android user I often will have to interact with iPhone users and the impact of their vendor lock-in techniques is that the experience of those interactions is worse on both sides.
I can’t convince every person to stop using an iPhone, or even just just a different messaging app, most people can’t even agree what to have for dinner…
So users that take it upon themselves to try and improve the experience by trying things like beeper or beeper mini are actually trying to help others maintain their choices and preferences without the degraded experience.
So sometimes a person voting with their dollars isn’t enough, since it’s others choices that still have an impact
I agree, for the lay person the steamos experience in the deck is great and has no issues it installs things it plays things, most people won’t need to open the desktop experience at all
Won’t be long until my ai model can produce it’s very own Linux distro complete with 7 fingered keyboard layouts
Storage expansion is great. I got a 2tb SSD form AliExpress for ~160CAD and put in a 1tb SD card. I can just install whatever I want and never worry about shaders or games using to much space.

The option to install any extension has always been possible it’s just a tad more work to get setup.
I did this ages ago, I just add the extensions I want to the list and then they appear to let me install them
This is exactly my sentient.
Canada mid 30s. A car is essentially required outside of a major city but after my first two cars were manual the incredible inconvenience of crawling traffic got to me and my current car is an automatic.
I found I had to constantly hug the car in front which meant always feathering the clutch, if I didn’t and the gap grew just large enough for a car to fit someone always jumped lanes into the gap.
On Android I just started using kiwi browser a month or two ago it’s for android only but it’s chromium based and supports extensions which brings ublock and others to mobile.

I don’t know how slow the old one was, but if I send myself an SMS using the bridge it completes a round trip to the Telco and back in about 1 second
Have you tried the new SMS bridge that relies on gmessages?
https://github.com/mautrix/gmessages
If you have an Android phone you can use the Google SMS app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.messaging
Then you pair the app and bridge. It’s been pretty reliable since I started using this bridge, especially when compared to the previous bridge options.
Is there a reason you couldn’t use either use a self hosted or the public hosted copy of element or an Android/iOS app and connect it directly to the beeper synapse/dendrite server?
Their clients are just closed forks of element anyways.
