Wait…. You can get edge on Linux?!

TIL.

<chuckles on linux> “he doesn’t know how to use the middle mouse button!”

(for people who may be unaware… in most linux distributions- all of them that I’ve used, and I’ve used a fair number; clicking middle mouse with text selected cuts and pastes the text. it’s one of those features that, once you get used to… you just can’t let go.)

Context?

All I really known about it is that you can roast pot in butter and extract the thc/cbd into the butter then use that to make cookies.

But yes.

I also know that you need to be careful to keep them sorted from normal cookies. Don’t, ah, ask how I know that.

“Magic Cookie” is the term I use for cookies baked with cannabutter.

“You pay me to do what I do, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

My dishwasher is completely fine without the cloud. Period. Full stop.

OP reports loss of functionality. Functions, that are, quite frankly standard features on all not-IoT machines. Functionality which, frankly, you paid for, and which in no way actually require homecontrol to use.

There is no need to put it on the network, but if you want to, and are paranoid, you can connect it to an isolated network. If you dont want to, dont, and the dishwasher will work.

only if you find it acceptable to not have full functionality. “you can put it on an isolated network”… is very much like “let them eat cake.”

Particularly if you consider the trend to force this in all sorts of things- ranging from toasters, refridgerators, ovens, stovetops, coffee makers, etc. Inorder to adequately protect mimizie the risks associated with these devices, you’d have to have a dedicated network for each one.

and yes, the reason they’re forcing you to use the home control app to get these features is to intrude into your privacy.

Notifications aside, none of the functions it enables require internet access, or even network access. There’s exactly zero reason to put it on the network. And as for notifications, I don’t know anyone that’s going to rush home or stop what they’re doing to put dishes away the moment the machine is finished cleaning them. is it possible you’re an exception to that? sure. I guess. but the vast majority of people- in my experience- won’t be finding anything that actually requires internet for to be all that useful.

Which- in case there was any confusion- is why they shut off functions people use all the time. To force people to use their app. Which, if they weren’t some how making money off that app, ask yourself why they’d care?

They’re making money off the app. which suggests they’re selling something they get from the app. (I suppose they could be using your IoT devices to mine crypto when you’re not using it… but that’s got it’s own issues.)

simple. fire the asshole.

This is pathetic.

I’m glad you enjoy your home connect. A dishwasher shouldn’t need an internet connection to function. Period. Full stop.

“Just put it on an isolated network” is ridiculous advice, when there shouldn’t even be a need.

Even if you assume there are no vulnerabilities to find, even if you assume their administrators are never evil, the only reason to require cloud service is to invade my privacy and collect data.

That’s it. They’re selling your data. Maybe you are fine with that. We are not.

yeah, that’s pretty messed up. you should never cross spiders with teddy bears.

If you recognize that as bad… why did you ask about authoritarianism? That’s… authoritarianism.

Also… I’m guessing it was removed because they thought you were trolling.

Naw. this is lemmy. You’re supposed to say <checks notes> “yeah, dump 'em. you’re better off without that gaslighting loser in your life”

Wait. Er. wrong one. that’s for bad partners. Uhm. lets just go with what you said. (probably the best advice anyone can give on the internet heh.)

Looks like you could ox or ax on the triple there (there’s an open x.)

Edit maybe that’s a V,

there’s the do at the top of the board (bottom of the pic,)

You couldn’t pay me enough to fly just now.

(Alright I lie. I’ll do it, but you have to pay up front and add in life insurance.)

Last time I bought Pringle’s it was for science- they have some interesting aerodynamics.

The time before that, it was on a bet about turning the can and some pencils into a WiFi antenna. (That won me some real crispschips.)

Have you considered…. Chewing?

I’m not sure we should be taking advice of which side from people who still drive on the wrong side of the road.

(Edit: oh, this is from Germany. Yeah, guess you’re right-side drivers.)

If it ain’t broke… maintain it.

so… send it to Helen?

To my knowledge, biden never corrected that assumption- which was a commonly voice belief, considering his staff ran with it to persuade hesitant votes wanting somebody who hadn’t been in government longer than most of us have been alive.

so your going to have to drop a source- dated to 2020- showing biden correcting that narrative. Especially when his campaign staffers "leaked’ him saying he would be a 1 term pres privately.

It’s not possible to ignore words that were never actually said, or a campaign that did everything to imply it short of stating it.
