  • I do know the addons (not the same as integrations) need the full OS yes. I have it on a Pi but you could do a virtual machine for HAOS (there is an official virtual machine image on their website, also make sure to pass through your matter/zigbee/etc USB adapter).

    You could also just run the container Home Assistant version, and run any "addons" as other docker containers within CasaOS or Yuno host, and point the integrations at those. I imagine it would take a little bit of extra configuration but shouldn't be too hard.

  • Reddit admin doesn't like that /r/CirclejerkSopranos is political and threatens their mods to remove the politics, or shut it down

    Jump

  • I honestly get it to some degree. ~50% of threadiverse users are people banned from most of reddit and are the most hopelessly miserable and arrogant assholes to be around. On top of that, the main content feeds are overwhelmed with low effort memes that give the whole Threadiverse dead-internet vibes. Until the larger instances actually take steps to make themselves welcoming while creating space for real discussions I wouldn't blame anyone checking out lemmy.world (or whatever) and just noping right back out like the grandpa Simpson meme.

  • Reddit (the company) deciding what communities can be about is actually not new and I wish it were widely known. The first big example I know of goes back to 2018 when the admins overrode a subreddit creator to force their community to be for (pro) gamergate content.

  • Sorry just seeing this, looks like there is a Home Assistant addon yes. Yunohost is very similar but seems to be more popular, so I'd say try both and see what you like.

  • If SNW people go through with a TOS continuation, where will they start?

    Jump

  • Just seeing this post, I didn't know this was a thing that could happen, but I wouldn't mind seeing some Pre-S1 TOS. I don't think Season 1 was ever canonically the first year of the five year mission.

  • I'm so confused by this comment. Season three is literally (literally) about "a Federation that keeps adapting, improving, and ultimately continuing as a positive force moving forward through the dedicated collaboration of an infinitely-diverse collaboration of peoples" even in the face of overwhelming odds to the contrary.

  • Well said, Enterprise is my least favorite... until Season 4 which I consider to be some of my favorite Star Trek.

    But same goes for Discovery! I appreciated what they were trying to do but it didn't click with me. And then seasons 4 and 5 I consider to be some of Trek's best.

  • Thank you for the sanity. I get so tired hearing Burhnam being held to such an obvious double standard. I wonder why? What is different about the character?

  • OMG you're so right.

    Honestly I'm so used to hearing the same tired old arguments I didn't even process that.

  • Is Star Trek Discovery that bad?

    Jump

  • It just feels awfully weird to me that your list of criteria that makes a show "hateable" only applies to this particular show. And when another show checks off the items, the list suddenly stops being "hateable items" and instead becomes a list of minor nitpicks.

    I just can't figure out what the difference is, what could it be about Discovery in particular that would cause you to hold this list of criteria with such gravitas, but when the listed items appear on a different show, you don't seem to mind? What could the difference be?

  • Is Star Trek Discovery that bad?

    Jump

  • Why is it when those things you listed show up on other Star Trek series you consider them to be "flaws" on an "overall quality" show, but on Discovery they become "reasons to hate"? Why the double standard?

  • Is Star Trek Discovery that bad?

    Jump

  • You didn't say Discovery villains didn't "have nuance and development". So no, I didn't say that either.

  • I agree that Gul Dukat is a delusional maniac! The guy I replied to said that only Discovery had such characters. But that said I will gladly accept your Armus!

  • I'm sorry, but if you truly watched the entire season, you'd know that your description of the events is incongruous with the events as presented on screen.

  • everyone else fawning over how great she is

    Did we watch the same show? She is literally demoted and sent to prison in the first episode.

  • Is Star Trek Discovery that bad?

    Jump

  • If I can present examples to you of those things happening in other Star Trek series would it change your mind about those other series?

    Or does this list of criteria selectively apply specifically to Discovery?

  • I absolutely loved that look for the Klingons. I was so sad to see it meekly watered down in later episodes. It's what they should have done in The Motion Picture!
