It’s just a case of under promise, over deliver

They do have a reason. Their real estate holdings aren’t as profitable.
- Comment on Not disparaging the dead or anything. But why does it seem in the US we are expected to feel sorry for a person who overdoses on illegal drugs? Didn't they make the choice knowing the outcome? 1 day ago:
It’s not as rare as you think it is. My SO worked in addiction counseling, and it wasn’t rate by any means.

Addiction is an illness. Some people don’t choose to be drug addicts, and it’s incredibly difficult to stop once you’re hooked.
Not everyone addicted to drugs chose to do them in the first place. Parents shoot up their kids, and abusive partners shoot up their abusee.

His whole dictator thing
- Comment on ‘Shameless’ MSNBC hosts Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski blasted for hypocrisy over Trump visit: ‘Bending the knee’ 3 days ago:
Because Trump is going to crush any media that’s against him.
- Comment on Where can I buy a mosquito laser system? 3 days ago:
You likely can’t. The reason being the patents for the technology are owned by patent trolls who refuse to let them be used.
- Comment on Anon loves proprietary tech 3 days ago:
I’ll have to dig through my receipts to see. The Hal project has taken a back seat to the microchip controlled pet feeding stall project.

For real, though, I’m building a Hal9000 system for my home built on top of Home Assistant and Esphome.

- Comment on Is it really possible to tax the rich? 1 week ago:
While the ultra wealthy don’t have billions on hand, they do take loans against their assets, which we could tax more.

Look into getting into local government, or supporting very left individuals who want to be. Changes of this scale has to start locally.
- Comment on Questions about anonymity on lemmy.world servers 1 week ago:
That’s a good reason to avoid the instance, then.
- Comment on Questions about anonymity on lemmy.world servers 1 week ago:
Assume that anything you do can be linked to you, and act accordingly.
Only use a VPN to connect to the internet, and choose a server in a country without an information sharing agreement with the country you’re in.
Use an email service that allows you to generate aliases so your actual email isn’t on record.
Even if they’re not doing those things, they could always start. I year Proton for these things, but you can research the best provider for you.
- Comment on What are the next steps for Americans to help prevent the worsening of genocide in Palestine? 1 week ago:
You’re wrong about the medieval monarchy part. The US is about to become Nazi Germany.
- Comment on What are the next steps for Americans to help prevent the worsening of genocide in Palestine? 1 week ago:
There are none. This is game over for Palestinians, Ukranians, and 99% of Americans. Mango Hitler controls all branches of the government, and every check and balance has been removed.
Even if there was evidence of massive voter fraud on Trump’s part, it wouldn’t matter. Anyone who could do anything about it is on his team.
The US democracy is dead.

Boondock Saints is such a movie, which is a crime
- Comment on So begins the great smart bulb saga! 2 weeks ago:
My hobby is designing smart home systems and building my own smart devices, so I’m actually a primary source.
Plus, don’t rely on strangers on the internet to spoon feed you sources. It’s pretty easy to do your own research (which is how I learned what I know.
But you can easily find the security risks posed by Tuya with light googling.
- Comment on Problem? 2 weeks ago:
Me with 3d modeling/printing something from scratch.
- Comment on So begins the great smart bulb saga! 2 weeks ago:
All of the cheap Chinese devices are Tuya, which is a Chinese company which iirc the CCP controls.
The only reason you should buy a Tuya device is if you’re going up flash it with an open source firmware.
- Comment on So begins the great smart bulb saga! 2 weeks ago:
Throw those bulbs away. They’re likely Tuya bulbs, and everything Tuya is a major security vulnerability. Worse than TikTok
Go with TP-Link. Their products work well, work with home kit, and work with things like home assistant. They’re also creating matter devices now.
Also, I’d recommend getting a smart light switch instead of a smart bulb since the Led controller in the bulb is what will fail first. But, I get that this isn’t an option for a lamp, or if your overhead light and fan are tied together.
For the lamp, a smart outlet would work, and for the fan you can probably rig up a Shelly relay at the fan so you don’t have to do a drop for the fan control cable (if it has that capability).

- Comment on If I threaten a politician to kill them like Trump did to Liz Cheney could I be arrested? If so how come Trump hasn't been arrested for it? 3 weeks ago:
Possibly, but I believe that Putin has a ton of dirt on all of them from the GOP email hack.
