Comment on [rant] I want computers to become personal again
Balthazar@sopuli.xyz 1 day agoJust keep in mind that installing an app via the respective app stores (just install, not custom settings) is often the limit of what people can, and are willing to do. People just simply don’t have the time, willpower and/or knowledge to get a controlled LAN working. It’s similar to how you don’t expect everyone being able to fly a helicopter, or build a car from scratch.

I didn’t assume we were speaking of the general public in c/technology, maybe that was a mistake. Most of what I said can be done without too much effort, especially browser extensions. The openHAB and various other tools are only going to apply to those who need them and probably have experience enough to try to tackle them. The only major one that I think people should take advantage of but is beyond most folks ability is Pi-hole. It’s not hard at all, but if you don’t know where to look or what the instructions mean it’ll be impossible for them.

I missed that part xD Just with the rant thought of the root of this problem, and that is the general populace and how they use it xD
