The homepage just has recently added devices. Use the menu to browse by device type.

The Tasmota firmware documentation has a decent list, but it’s limited to devices that are known to be flash-able so you can install custom firmware on them. https://templates.blakadder.com/

Have you ever heard the phrase “don’t dip the pen in company ink”?

I tried finding API pricing for Google but it’s probably buried somewhere. They make it sound “free” but with usage limits, which surely Kagi exceeds? Either way, it’s probably on a “per-call” basis, and Google gets a lot less money that way compared to crapping out money driven search results.

“Our unique algorithms down-rank pages with a lot of ads and trackers (which we have found correlate with a decrease in content quality) and promote content from independent, ad-free sources and personal websites.”

I’m sure it’s not perfect, but my experience with Kagi has been very very good. With DuckDuckGo I’d often have to revert to Google to find what I was looking for, but not with Kagi.

I pay for Kagi, so my opinion might be clouded by confirmation bias.

My true fans will hang around for my year understanding.

Not YouTube because the ads come from the same “source”, so blocking that DNS would mean blocking the actual video, too. That’s my week understanding of it, at least.

There’s no timestamp for when things go missing, though.

It sounds like we agree, but I’m much less lawerly due to my lack of experience in that field.

The creator of Lemmy is just one example. They remove a lot of content that isn’t hateful, just against their political ideology. I used that as an example of a private social media website which does a lot of censoring, even though the creators are sort of, somehow, outwardly against censoring? So everyone is human is my point.

The article in question is about hate speech, not political dissent. Hate speech is pretty widely moderated away on Lemmy, and I think a majority of people here are cool with that. Some here are arguing semantics which is fair. Censoring is censoring which is the definition of censoring. I’m in the camp that if someone online is threatening another person or group of people, that should be hidden/removed.

There’s a big difference between utterly insane tankie takes and hateful content.

Are you saying it should be required by law to have a comment regarding removal of content?

That’s the problem with the internet, really. You can’t punch these a-holes through your monitor or keyboard. The consequence here is moderation instead of physical violence. Removing these people from their platform is the punch in the nuts that they deserve. It’s still free speech because these are non-government websites.

Edit to make it less mean sounding.

Lemmy was created because Desaulines(sp?) got “censored” on reddit. Now he famously over-censors his darling instance lemmy.ml.

My point is just that nobody really thinks it should be a free for all. Everyone is human and doesn’t want to hear anything that they consider egregious, or in the case of lemmy.ml “against rule 2”.

That’s annoying. I have an old Nvidia Shield and it’s very fast.

I was so happy when I installed Projectivy. Our home screen now has 3 nice looking ovals – Jellyfin, YouTube, and YouTube TV. If I was the only one in the house it would have one icon…

No ads, no recommendations, just click into the app you want.

I had to do some searching to figure out how to properly set it up and all it took was enabling accessibility access so it could have access to the “Exit” button on my remote. Without that permission, it would still exit to the stock launcher.

Sounds bad I guess, but the USA has been spying on us for a long time now. Is the bad part that it’s China?

Dang, that would have hurt with real money.

I always stick to mutual funds and ETFs. The few individual stocks I’ve picked on my own have always lost money. I lost $750 to Beyond Meat, and a couple thousand with BitCoin Cash (should have held it for another year, but hindsight etc.). My mutual fund picks have all gone up. Some more than others, but none have lost me money.

I just built a computer for a friend and she decided to get an AMD when I told her it was about the same performance but used half as much electricity.

This is a person who knows nothing about computers. Intel is losing their “household name” status in a big way judging by that.

They can check existing code. You have to be able to trust people who are contributing.

They can check new code by these risky people as it comes in, but it why risk it?

I notice the same thing. I think it’s because they are busy moving it from a distant warehouse to one closer to you, because you can’t possibly keep all of the same crap in all of the warehouses. So it’s being transported, but not “shipped”, allowing them to take longer.
