It is also much easier to install and update, since it don’t require restarting the computer, and also works on all distro.

baseless_discourse,

Why can’t people live without Netflix? Don’t they have a job, a family, OR a hobby?

I am honestly confused…

FLAC! Long live songs you can actually own! Long live open source audio format!

Subscription based service makes data harvesting much easier. Spotify can force you to connect to their server even if you downloaded your song, in the name of “verifying your subscription”.

Buy the songs, buy the movie, take them offline.

That being said there are good subscription based service, like home assistant cloud, where all your communications are always E2E encrypted and cannot be seen by their server. Their subscription model is justified, as they rent their servers.

Let us know when it is setup. I would appreciate some shitty map in my day.

I also started with LTS assuming they would be more usable, but the extremely outdated package have later driven me away from linux for a while.

Now I realize I can just run normal Ubuntu to get reasonably up-to-date packages. But I like the latest (non-graphical) software that is offered by fedora.

EDIT: sorry, I read it wrong, I thought the reply says the addon “doesn’t” use the remote API.

I digged a bit on the code, and every command indeed go through the cloud. So even if you use this addon, Haire can still collect a fair bit of data about you, since there is no way to communicate locally and directly to the AC.

But the addon only sends the minimum amount of data to achieve functionality, so definitely not as much data as using Haire’s app.

Can you link to where the documentation that specify they don’t use API?

Because I am looking at pyhOn (dependency of hon, and also being taken down), it seems like when executing a command, they do contact the cloud. Specefically


<span style="color:#323232;">url: str = f"{const.API_URL}/commands/v1/send"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    async with self._hon.post(url, json=data) as response:
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        ...
</span>

github.com/Andre0512/pyhOn/blob/…/api.py#L215 . The call to API is later used to send command:


<span style="color:#323232;">result = await self.api.send_command(
</span><span style="color:#323232;">                self._appliance,
</span><span style="color:#323232;">                self._name,
</span><span style="color:#323232;">                params,
</span><span style="color:#323232;">                ancillary_params,
</span><span style="color:#323232;">                self._category_name,
</span><span style="color:#323232;">            )
</span>

github.com/Andre0512/pyhOn/blob/…/commands.py#L14…

And the API_URL indeed points to a remote API:


<span style="color:#323232;">API_URL = "https://api-iot.he.services"
</span>

baseless_discourse,

Is this how tankies are made?

Most country, urbanist or not, do have wilderness, where you can live and die without people know.

You don’t need to live in the city if you dont want to. You can live off grid, and burn your own feces for heat if that is the life of your choosing. What people here are fighting for is to keep this living style is outside of cities.

Basically, city is not the place for giant emotional support vehicles. And outside traffic should not disrupt the normal form of transportation in cities, which should be dominated by public transport, walking, and efficient personal vehicles (like bike, scooters, wheelchairs, etc).

What distro are you running? I think you should be able to just find the app in the app store.

If not, the webside includes the download link literally in the first paragraph: mullvad.net/en/download/vpn/linux

Just download and double click the package, that should bring up your app store, and then click install you will be fine.

baseless_discourse,

That still sounds like a lot of confusion for small companies. especially given most FOSS is provided as-is without any legal consultant avaliable.

I think they will break laws (in countries with basic respect for human right) if they don’t have that option.

It can be the website you are browsing have trackers that share data with facebook, and facebook was able to infer you guys are in the same household via IP information (ISP also sales you info BTW), and push the ad to her. Or facebook might think that you guys could be the same person or have similar interest etc.

baseless_discourse,

And people actually use them.

Typically the abstraction to draw elemnts inside a app window is in the application framework, like GTK, Qt, Electron (chromium), etc.

This is also why apps built with the same framework typically have the same problem on wayland (looking at you, electron).

The abstractions you are thinking of is not in the window manager, which only controls things outside of the main app window, like tiling, border, window top bar, etc.

I suck at math too!

I dont know anyone who uses decimal when they use celsius, and almost everyone I know uses celsius.

.3 degree is not going to change anything, just like you wouldn’t put on your jacket just because the temperature lowers half a fahrenheit.
