You are aware they already decriminalized it right?
Germany doing it will likely set precedent in all of northern Europe. My prediction is Denmark will follow in 2 year time, Norway in 3-4 years and Sweden likely last at 5 years, even though I think we consume more of it per capita... Swedish stance on drug use has been extremely conservative for many, many decades by now and is super rooted in the common Psyche, which is why so many die of overdoses and kill themselves if it comes out they use. The stigma is heavy.
Is there some preview version of Gemini Ultra that can generate images or what gives?
Huh looks kinda fun but Netflix games? I guess this is one attempt at a killer app and I applaud the "no in app purchases" approach but will it be enough to get people playing on a "platform" that is not only new but just plain weird?
Valid, a poor assumption on my part.
Edited because I wrongly assumed the reply was from the person I responded to. Changed subject/pronouns below in response.
What.
They replied to me literally stating that my opinions were flawed from the get go based on very big assumptions. Not only my opinions but everyone calling themselves moderate or centrist, we're talking millions of people you just said hold an inherently compromised position. That's some seriously dumb shit. That doesn't make them dumb, just that opinion and I clearly stated that paragraph was what I called out. I then addressed their other concerns and statements.
It's them who are shutting down any debate here. Not me. And yeah "enlightened centrist" is for sure a problem, people that think their position is inherently better because it doesn't adhere to an extreme. But I do not subscribe at all to that line of thinking and hold extreme opinions that I stand by.
And "civil" discussions are impossible over text, It's literally impossible to read and respond correctly to feelings in text and human beings aren't, by and large, capable of disconnecting their emotions from discussions, even less when it's political. And I argue we really shouldn't either. If we can't respond to strong emotions then we're not fit for debate either. Just look at literally any political debate anywhere in a democratic nation, it tends to get pretty heated. I argue more heated than necessary/reasonable right now but that circles back to my point about politics being too tied to morals and identity. But still, emotion is an inevitable and reasonable part of political debate.
That said my intention was never to hurt their feelings, my intent was to strongly reject what they stated, and "I strongly disagree" does not capture even close to how strongly I feel about that statement.
As such I'm sorry and I understand if they have no wish to engage in any debate. I really don't even see anything to really debate here either. Unless they want to defend their first paragraph I guess.
They're not much for subtlety over there huh?
Yes.
Microsoft To-Do has most of the features requested here (but is not open really) and I've tried to use it extensively but for anything that's not one-off it doesn't really work because the problem isn't generally remembering that you need to clean, pay bills etc it's actually doing it.
To-Do software only really works for the things you forget, like buy ingredients to make a birthday cake or setup that ladder service in your selfhosted setup to go around pay walls in a more automated fashion.
For app supported habit forming there are some gamification apps that some friends swear by but they've never really done it for me. For me the only thing that works is cultivating discipline by... Just fucking doing it, no matter what I feel.
I think a VPS and moving to NetBird self hosted would be the simplest solution for you. $5 per month gives you a range of options and you can go even lower with things like yearly subscriptions. That way you get around the subdomain issue, you get a proper tunnel and can proxy whatever traffic you want into your home.
As for control scheme for your home automation you'll need to come up with something that fits you but I strongly advise against letting users into Home Assistant. You could build a simple web interface that interacts via API with HA, through Node-Red is super simple if it seems daunting to build the API.
If a RPi 4 is what you've got and that's it then I guess you're kinda stuck for the time being. Home Assistant is often quite lightweight if you're not doing something crazy so it runs well on even a RPi 3, same with NAS software for home use, it too works fine on a 3. If SBC is your style my recommendation is to setup an alert on whatever second hand sites operate in your area and pick up a cheap one to allow you to separate things and make the setup simpler.
With their economy struggling at home EU and US actually pulling through on their threats would be very very bad for China
