I’m still trying to figure out my network settings so that I can have my IoT one one network while still being able to access my home assistant from the other network.
Unfortunately, my ISP is also my cable company, and I have to use their modem/router combo else the cable boxes won’t accept the cable signal. I’m using my own wireless access point (which also doubles as a switch for the handful of Ethernet devices I have), and it can split off a separate SSID, but that’s not really doing much.

“local Incognito” is some real mental gymnastics. If the witness protection program told people they’d help them go incognito, but only hid them from their own families and made it easy for strangers and enemies to find them, would you really consider that be what a reasonable interpretation?
Stop defending people who use shit like huge ToS docs and dark patterns to weasel out of deceptive marketing

I mean, they called it “Incognito”.
having one’s true identity concealed
If it doesn’t conceal your identity, then that’s pretty clearly misleading. They’re not selling to experts, the users of this are laypeople. It’s like if you sold a “waterproof phone” and the packaging all made it look like it could withstand water, but then when it got wet it broke and you were like “people just assumed it was waterproof, it’s not our fault”.
Sure experts could tell, and enthusiasts would read the expert opinions on it, but that’s not something you should expect of laypeople considering how it is presented. - Comment on HAAAAAAAANNNNKKKK 1 week ago:

I’m frustrated that Immich doesn’t have a “back up new photos only” option.
All the photos already on my phone are in a huge external library with my backups from previous phones. I don’t want to delete them from my phone just so immich doesn’t freak out, and I don’t wanna have them on my NAS twice
Immich seems great, but this seems like the bread and butter migration path that nearly everyone would take. - Comment on "Sad thing to be, nonsensical thing to want to be" 💔🥀💔🥀 2 weeks ago:
It’s economically stable white people trying to find a way to be the victim.
You don’t see actually marginalized white people (poor, disabled, etc) doing this, just suburban Karens and shit - Comment on One major issue with social media is that it operates on a first come, first served basis.

- Comment on The movie cars is crazy 3 weeks ago:
Again, I’m not trying to make the world of cars more realistic. I don’t care that they would have evolved differently, that’s not something from the movie. I’m not interested in imagining how the movie could have been different.
Cars is a movie where cars are people
We are people
Cars exist in our world
Imagine that’s what we were. - Comment on "And my dick fucks your wife more than you do. What's your point?" 3 weeks ago:
There are more reasons to brag and show off than just to seek validation. Their vanity may not be dependent on you.
- Comment on "And my dick fucks your wife more than you do. What's your point?" 3 weeks ago:
“that’s so sad”
But realistically probably nothing, someone like that isn’t going to care enough about what you think to be affected by what you say.

But trying to extrapolate from nonsense movies is the fun part!
Let me rephrase, I’m not trying to make the world of cars more realistic, I’m trying to imagine “what if we were as relatively fragile as cars are”. What if our normal every day activities like walking were as risky to us as driving is to a car.
- Comment on The movie cars is crazy 4 weeks ago:
Hmmm… You’re right that cars don’t crash as much as people trip. But they still crash a lot
And while if a cheetah trips while running it’s fine, if a car crashes at its top speed, it will completely come apart. Heck, if a car crashes at highway speed, it’s typically still absolutely destroyed, and highway speed is only gonna be like 1/2 or 1/3 its top speed, so that’s the equivalent of jogging.
A big part of this is the fragility of cars vs their speed.That deleted scene is… It’s… Well that raises so many questions about their universe. I’m just gonna ignore that part lol.
- Comment on The movie cars is crazy 4 weeks ago:
Specifically just speed, I suppose.
Not any of the other perception/durability powers that typically come with it.And not crazy flash-like super speed, just the speed of a car.
