I am worried that there is not really a benefit of doing that, just more noise and energy consumption.

There does not seem to exist like a single, complete solution for this that everyone agrees is the way to go... or maybe I did not look hard enough.

How do you do it?

My priorities are:

Top priority

• Turn off

Amazing to have

• Volume controls
• Pause/play

Nice to have

• monitoring state (on/off)

I saw that System Bridge exists, and looks almost perfect aside from the fact that is not even in the AUR (outdated) and is not distributed under Chocolatey in Windows... this makes me think that the project is very much not widely used at all.

So, how do you deal with these things?

I could not recommend AnySoftKeyboard to my mum. I could recommend Florisboard, tho.

Openboard is virtually dead from what I can see. So that leaves Florisboard as the only open source alternative (that I know of) that could really be used by the masses. And the world would actually be a way better place if we all opensource freaks could install Florisboard on our family/friends phones and them barely noticing anything weird.

The problem is... no word suggestions yet. It's been years and we are still lacking what is almost an essential feature of a phone's keyboard.

I wish I could really work on it, but I lack the knowledge to do so; so I hope I am bringing some attention to the project.

Is there any other alternative I am unaware of?

How can I kill this evil thing?

This is probably not the place to do it but I figured it would be where I could find someone who fixed it.

I am slowly getting back into reading, and as a minimalist, I dislike the idea of having (or carrying) books, aside from very special ones, of course.

Is there a nice system to organize (maybe even sync) ebook information; and I mean not only bookmarking where you left, but actually notes, highlights, etc? I'd like it to be pretty "universal", so I don't depend on propietary stuff, and I can retrieve those notes 20 years from now (why else would I want to write some notes, right?).

Also, a bit off-topic for this sub, but... how do you read? E-readers? Tablets? Software choices?

Essentially the title.

If only S2 (previous connection point from light switch to bulb) is truly required, then, wow, that makes things way easier to install.

I guess electrically it makes sense, I'm just weirded out it does not show in the instructions.

I just started my journey into Home Automation, and I think I am starting to understand better what Matter actually signifies...

So, Zigbee is just a communication protocol, and the definition of smart devices is actually done by ZHA, Zigbee2MQTT, etc... correct?

So Matter actually reduces all those Zigbee sub-protocols into one thing, so one Matter bulb will be always compatible, you don't need to pick like we do now with ZHA, Zigbee2MQTT... correct?

And then, the Zigbee communication is substituted either with Thread (basically Zigbee technology but for Matter) or Wi-Fi. But the smart device definition is still Matter, so a bulb will always behave like Matter specifies, in terms of variables and parameters.

Am I getting close?

I think apps become really relevant in the federated world, as it allows to manage multiple accounts at the same time, in the same place, allowing for quick switching, etc, while simplifying so much workflow (and making server requests lighter too!).

On F-Droid, tho, I see Peertube apps basically being frozen in time. No updates since a long time ago, but Peertube itself keeps getting better and better, so what's up?

Also, don't link NewPipe, I know it allows Peertube videos, but you cannot log in or interact, which is crucial for the survival of the fediverse.

If I am not mistaken the tradeoff is losing add-ons but being able to install other services.

So... what is your experience? Are add-ons useful/common for your use case?

In this federated world, I find myself going back to lemmyverse.net to see if a community already exists, or if there are any duplicates already, etc.

Also, in lemmyverse you can actually search instances themselves, which is quite interesting too. Maybe being able to check out some instance's local communities would be awesome too.
