#HomeAssistant is pretty good.

It has some quirks, but it's not as much hassle as I feared. I had to edit 4 lines of YAML, but everything else I wanted was in the GUI.

Finally, switch to the #Matter standard paid off. I can keep devices shared with HomeKit, while having way better visibility and more features in Home Assistant.

So we remain vigilant & deeply grateful to our allies.

For Signal, Chat Control is an existential threat. If we were *forced* to choose between building surveillance into our services or keeping our integrity, we would choose integrity & leave the market. We hope it never comes to this. 7/

I've got solar panels + 5kWh battery installed!

The battery makes the largest impact. I can charge during low-CO2 off-peak time and avoid the grid during the peak hours.

The #solar output I get is underwhelming (bad roof orientation), but the battery is going to pay for the system. I could have gotten just the battery!

@ChrisWere @uoou and myself finally got together to ramble our way into a finale of this iteration of our show. As always it is mostly us talking nonsense but, hopefully, entertainingly.

@GuyDudeman @officialgogurt I love that entirely out of context a certain faction immediately knows what "no wedding ring" implies.

California residents: for the first time in a long time, your vote this November matters nationally.

Prop 50 counters the illegitimate Republican gerrymander of Texas, restoring the impact of your vote on congress. It's temporary, expiring in 2030.

There are good people against it, but they're misguided. Taking the high road here just helps those who oppose democracy keep control of our government.

Please vote yes on 50, and encourage your friends to do the same.

With Apple and Google loaning their app stores to authoritarians, our tech press should be asking: what are the alternatives? And why is Apple working so hard to suppress the web?

But they are not asking those questions:

The way to read a fascist like Peter Thiel is not to ask “Does he really believe this shit?”

It is to ask “What would this justify, if true?”

What would it justify if people worried about climate change, AI or even nuclear war, are working for the literal Antichrist?

What would it justify if the UN and ICC are preparing the ground for the Antichrist?
