A very heavily curated Hot/All. I have a huge block list but I want to see new communities.

Being able to use TikTok on your phone doesn’t make you tach savvy. They don’t know anything about how it all works. It’s a false dichotomy.

Ha! 😂

This line was very telling “Russian state TV’s coverage of Harris—which is a carbon copy of what is playing on Fox News…”

Fox News is basically a Russian state propaganda arm.

I live in Pentagon City VA, I’m not surviving shit. ☺

The Cuecat: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CueCat

Came at a time when there weren’t barcodes everywhere and QR codes didn’t exist yet. Companies had to publish Cuecat specific barcodes, it was much easier to just type in the URL by the time you figured out you could use it at all.

The orders: “Don’t get caught”

Why anybody would purposefully get in something recently designed by Boeing is beyond me.

It blocks in line ads and trackers, that’s why I have been using it.

I do turn off all the rewards and other BS in the browser, but I will look into Firefox and uBlock. Thank you.

I have been using Brave as my browser for years, I have never once seen an ad on YouTube. Nor have I ever had any of the issues that have been reported with people using ad blockers.

Great information, thank you.

Too bad we can’t root our Alexa equipment and use them.

Thank you so much for your detailed answer. This is going to be something I take a real look at.

Is there good app support for Home Assistant? Like a one stop shop or is it spread over the apps of the various pieces of equipment?

Are you using microphones or is it entirely app based? And if so what microphones are you using?

I guess it would be too easy to just have Plug and Play option. 🤷 I am technically inclined but I don’t want to spend a ton of time recreating the wheel.

I can’t ask a question? I am in the Alexa infrastructure and would like to change and I don’t know what’s good to use instead. People are really shitty.

What are you using for microphones?
