Yeah, I’m sitting next to someone and I don’t loudly watch YouTube next to others. Guess I’ll never know how Steam did it. ¯*(ツ)*/¯

Whatever you do. Do NOT, under NO circumstance, clone/download/fork those two Git Repositories.

redcalcium ,

No need to clone those repo if you don’t buy Haier appliances

People: youre running the closed source software on your computer anyway, there’s not much reason to keep it on a separate user and protect everything so cautiously.

The closed source software: ^

Horrible horrible clickbait image - immediate downvote

Dehydrated OP ,

It’s not clickbait. The Linux version of Steam consisted of a binary, as well as a script called steam.sh which could be used to launch Steam. There actually was a line in that script with a comment above it saying # Scary!. The script was not supposed to rm -rf the entire hard drive, but if something went wrong, exactly that happened.

Didn’t say the content was, the image itself is clickbaity.

stepanzak ,

Well, it’s not if it’s the actual code Steam shipped with on thumbnail.

Voting with our $ never works: this never stops them but libre software licenses and censorship resistant technology does secure our software availability.

Dehydrated OP ,

We should do both. Don’t buy products from shitty companies and use as much FOSS as possible.

I said it in another post, but Haire owns several other brands as well:

The home appliances business, namely Haier Smart Home, has seven global brands – Haier, Casarte, Leader, GE Appliances, Fisher & Paykel, Aqua and Candy.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haier

Also this video seems to suggest that this home assistant addon do not contact the cloud. But this addon do require the usage of Haire cloud service, and all command issued using this addon is sent to the cloud. Probably because there is no local API to communicate directly to the appliances.

Personally, I just use a IR blaster to control my AC locally. It is less reliable, but I never use AC when I am not right in the room with it, so reliability is not a problem.

Same, it works really well for me. In fact, my AC unit is a little older and can only be controlled through Infrared (or through buttons on the unit itself, but that’s stupid)

What a fucking group this was! (70s lineup especially)

My memory of this album is that it didn’t hit in the same way the first did (“Shakti”). Still, discovering this group was one of the best things and kinda GOATed Mclaughlin for me.
