I run Zwave and love it. Advantages:

• better range and less interference in 900mhz band with meshing
• better battery life. WiFi uses up to an order of magnitude more power. Battery in Zwave devices lasts for years, with new ones being even better in this regard
• more secure as they cannot be hacked by hacking your internet or getting on your WiFi.
• more feature rich. Zwave devices tend to be geared towards more pro use and tend to have just about every feature you can imagine
• fully local. You can be 100% sure they aren’t sending your data off somewhere
• Generally high quality. I’ve had quite good luck with pretty much all the Zwave devices I’ve bought. They last a long time and are reliable if your mesh is working properly (enough powered repeater nodes).

Where’s Luigi when you need him?

TBH it’s mostly stuff that you know you shouldn’t be having. Food additives, fried or blackened foods, heavily processed foods, etc. Generally stuff you’d consider unhealthy for other reasons too.

These days most people understand a healthy diet is a Mediterranean style one lean meats, fruits and veggies, whole grains, some healthy fat like olive oil or avocados. They just don’t want to do that.

Lemmy still loves you.

TBH I feel like only he has a name with enough weight to play this beast.

Only in the ways it’s been implemented at the state level so far. Which, admittedly, may be the only way it can.

Even sadder to ignore what the Israeli government itself is doing to tens of thousands of Palestineans.

Some sort of brigading going on here, lots of comments with almost identical wording.

Oh yeah, I’m never buying a subscription. I’m still on the trial, it’s been more than 6 months already. But I would pay them something for occasional use of their search engine if they’d let me do that.

I don’t enjoy arguing but I do enjoy random conversations and posting random shit and seeing the reaction. I know I’m not supposed to like it but I do.

Yes I use DDG which gives me similar results for most things. When I can’t find it there I go to Kagi. It has sometimes surprised me with much better results, but the cases are rare. I’d happily pay them 10 cents a search or something for those cases where I need to try it.

I need per search pricing. Their plan includes way too many searches and is way too expensive. I use it like 2-3 times a month.

You shouldn’t have to download an app to replace the thing that the thing you are looking at is supposed to do.

Not if staff and signs were only provided by the government. It no doubt comes with its own set of problems, but given what we’ve seen with open campaign finance, I think those wouldn’t hold a candle to what we have now.

If I can’t stand it in RDR/RDR2 or GTA among many others, I don’t think it’s something for me. I’m perfectly fine with going down a path with a few side paths to explore. Open worlds have gotten too pervasive and too big.

Newness. I like a game that unfolds at a nice pace with moderate challenges. Games like Uncharted or Stray. I don’t like doing things over and over and over, so no to roguelikes or soulsborne games.

I’m even tired of open world games for the most part unless they reveal nicely and have good fast travel like Horizon. I didn’t finish the most recent GTA’s even, too much backtracking. I just want to be taken to a new place and see it unfold with some interesting but solvable challenges in between.

How? You get a certain amount of funds to be spent on specific regulated activities if you pass a threshold of signatures.

This is the opposite of a shitpost.

Even local political funding should be banned. Elections should be funded by the state with each candidate getting the same amount of exposure.

Don’t call me Sinus.
