In the UK the term is defined by the government as anyone who is deemed by the government a threat to the government or the people or someone’s property or the predominant local religion. But recently it’s been exclusively used for the first one. In this country state law is valued higher than corporate, moral, ethical and religious laws, so YMMV

Anyone who dictates the lives of the animals they care for based on aesthetic opinion alone should have their license revoked imo

OK but if you assimilate all land you’ve left nowhere to exile the undesirables that aren’t happy with this arrangement. If your leadership’s policy popularity is 50%, your country should split.

What does it taste like? Asking for a friend

Essentially, musicians in an orchestra play the instruments, while the conductor plays the musicians. In both contexts they guide the instrument to make a specific note at a specific time, intensity and timbre, for a specific duration.

As for how the musicians interpret the movements, not sure. Perhaps it’s unique to every orchestra and relies on the familiarity between musician and conductor.

Oh yeah. One of my probably unprovable theories is that the data they collected on me will always be floating around, I can just do my best to stop new data being harvested and, potentially, old data might be unsellable. Like when Daniel Radcliffe didn’t update his outfit for several months and paparazzi couldn’t sell the photos they took of him to magazines because they all looked outdated and therefore inaccurate

I used to be the same, but I eventually got sick of seeing these constant requests to spend my money on whoever’s product. If I see a problem that can be solved with a product, I know tlwhere to find stores, and I’ll go look for it. I don’t need 45,000 attempts at my money in case one is what I need. So I block all ads, pointedly avoid sponsored results, and use my own brain to decide what I want, when I want it.

Plus it improves my experience on all services when the UI isn’t wasted on banners and games don’t play a video every thirty seconds. I haven’t yet figured out how to block real-world ads. Maybe XR glasses with a brand censoring mod lol

This. I thoroughly checked all of my account’s settings and toggled off about 15 switches related to history or data access. Not only that, Google can occasionally add new ones or toggle them back on, either through deceptive user prompts or underhanded updates.

I highly recommend a Navidrome/Slskd/beets[lyrics]/Symfonium setup!

I have a Proxmox container running: Navidrome, that serves music in a Library Folder (B); Slskd, that serves a SoulseekQT web UI and downloads to a Download Folder (A); and beetbox beets program with the lyrics plugin installed via pipx that has config parameters set so that I can manually run it, it’ll detect and allow me to identify songs downloaded to Folder A, inject synced lyrics, and move them to an organised folder structure in Folder B.

• Navidrome doesn’t need organisation, I just do it to be neat.
• beets uses MusicBrainz and another I believe for song/album ID, and lrclib for synced lyrics
• I also have Lidarr set up to download from Soulseek with the Tubifarry plugin, get lyrics via lrclib and move to Folder B with the same structure as beets, but its metadata is heavily lacking and many images and artist song data is just nonexistent after about two months of “populating” (see below), so I recommend keeping the manual Soulseek/beets approach
• Again I recommend ignoring Lidarr or maybe using it for a visual library without downloading, but there is a pro, now I’ve configured it - Lidarr doesn’t often automatically request and then organise music, but when it does, the music is exactly the quality I requested. So at least Tubifarry is solid.
• You can use any Subsonic client but I find Symfonium to be incredible. Paying these devs is worth it!
• slskd can be configured to run beets after download I believe, but I haven’t figured that out and don’t plan to, for want of less complexity.

And this is one of my primary foes, this design. It’s one of the least libre forms of life and I reject it. I can only hope many others do the same, otherwise America won’t be the only corporate slave-centric country.

I work the other way. If I need or want it, but it’s on <insert (physically, mentally, financially, environmentally, or privacy-wise) harmful corporation here>, I don’t need or want it. There’s always an alternative elsewhere.

What’s stopping me is it still feels like a generic resale or untrustworthy website… I see that it isn’t, though… And it’ll take a lot of money to buy DRM free copies of 600 games. My plan is to move the Steam game files and uninstall Steam, to test if Heroic can launch them. Whatever fails can be rebought, or counted as an acceptable loss

See you later Navigator!

French, it seems

Code here :)

I used to use Has Agent, now I have LNXlink, which had quick buttons for lock, log out, ctrl-F4 and alt-F4, and power controls. I also have media player functions for watching stuff and controlling from the couch. I tried to share yaml but I think it bypassed a comment limit

But sorry, did you mean the whole controls/sensors section?

Sorry, that would help wouldn’t it aha
In templatesensors.yaml:

  - switch:
      unique_id: pc_admin_controls
      name: Admin Controls
      icon: mdi:shield-crown-outline
      turn_on: []
      turn_off: []

I made it a while ago. I believe it could also be made in helpers UI now, in Settings > Devices and Services > Helpers > Create Helper > Toggle, and setting a name and icon, and saving. It’ll be input_boolean.switch_name and is functionally the same, as my conditional cards do the actions

For me I’ve experimented with restricted cards. For example, I have essentially a collapsed menu of controls for my PC, accessible only when a switch is toggled on, and the card with the switch is only visible to me.

    - type: conditional
      conditions:
        - condition: user
          users:
            - 9ecc550a1dc14e0a98071750a1673abc
      card:
        type: entities
        entities:
          - entity: switch.pc_admin_controls
            toggle: true
    - type: conditional
      conditions:
        - entity: switch.pc_admin_controls
          state_not: "off"
      card:
        type: grid
        columns: 4

(Ignore that I haven’t fixed the yellow warning entities yet lol)
