There is this Home Assistant integration which I remember getting working. I haven't used Home Assistant in a while though, so I can't be a good resource if you need any help.

Hot take in c/linuxmemes@lemmy.world

I have used Fedora for nearly all the time I've daily driven Linux, and haven't encountered any problem that a newbie would encounter and couldn't overcome, excluding distro-agnostic stuff. Yeah, the h264 shit sucks, but if you use flatpaks you shouldn't have to worry about it. And if you ever have to face SELinux, then you're probably doing something that's beyond beginner level.

Outrage as Oklahoma Republican’s bill labels Hispanic people ‘terrorists’ in c/news@lemmy.world

So much for Republicans being "tough on crime," this law would be more effective (for the purpose of fighting street crime) if they just removed the whole racist bullshit. Of course, that's not what this law is intended to do. This is some stupid political game where Republicans present a bill that is "intended" to fight street crime. Every sane person and media establishment will see and criticise it for being racist, which it is. Then Republicans and Fox can yell about how those darn woke communists "don't care about the community" and "aren't tough on crime." Also did I mention it's hella racist? Because it's hella racist.

I've recently discovered an extension called Consent-O-Matic, which automatically completes cookie forms. Also, uBlock Origin includes lists (disabled by default) that will block all sorts of annoyances, including newsletter shite.

I'm really getting over the enshitification of the internet. in c/memes@lemmy.ml
[–] danielf@aussie.zone 1 points 9 months ago

Wow, didn't think something like that had happened. That is a valid concern. However, it could be mitigated by disabling auto update and subscribing to the GitHub releases via RSS. Then you can either manually check for malicious commits, or if the extension is more popular, wait a bit for any bad news to come out about the update. Obviously, this isn't possible for everyone and every extension, so I can understand why people would be cautious of more extensions, but I think Libredirect is a big enough extension that you would hear about it, like the case with Nano Adblocker.

Okay, that's probably the reason then.

I'm surprised people still use commercial dictionaries when Wiktionary exists. Is there a reason more people don't use it?
