Why does Larry Ellison give me such crazy uncanny valley vibes?! Is his head too long? Moustache too narrow? Generally too smooth? It has fucked me up all day scrolling past this image.

    On the other hand, why should a party that wins a few elections when seats are open 40 years ago retain any sort of control? I know you said term limits and I agree, but even if the presidency changed hands every single time it's possible to pack the bench by a) withholding appointments, b) by timing your stepdown, or c) appointing younger, less qualified justices to the bench for the express purpose of serving a long tenure.

    I like the idea of term limits and also mandatory financial audits of justices and immediate family that result in felony charges for financial crimes or failures to report.

    Things don't need to have hands-on, human intent to be good or enjoyable. (sh.itjust.works)
     

    I am all for supporting local artists and I feel that "handcrafted in XXX" products make great souvenirs when you're connected to those places. Still, if some AI hallucinated me a perfect novel for my interests, or generated something I couldnt tell was manufactured or created by a master, I would happily enjoy it.

    "How can I tell if this is slop so I can know to hate it" sounds stupid to me: good is good. When it comes to art / food / products, I want the best experience for ME. If I want human connectedness, then I'll go interact with a human directly.

    I can do without wasted water, power, and money, but in the abstract it seems to bother everyone on Lemmy to enjoy something a person didn't make. I don't have that hang-up.

    Kitchen remodel incoming, looking for advice (sh.itjust.works)
     

    Next month the kitchen is getting remodeled and I volunteered to provide outlets and light switches for the contractors. I need like 13 of each.

    My house is one foot in home assistant and one foot in google and I'm looking for both specific and general advice. I've done mostly Kasa HS200 switches so far in my house but I just installed my first [Enbrighten switch](Enbrighten 43080 Zigbee in-Wall... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08428GDS8) and it seems good, but it's underutilized because either I use the switch or I have to go dig in the HA app, and it isn't convenient yet.

    Here's the deal:

    I've got some door sensors, I've got HVAC, I've got doorbell and deadbolt (kind of), I've got zigbee smart blinds, and then a butt load of kasa switches and zigbee third reality wall warts and stuff. All the automations I've made are hands off. I don't have any crossover between Google and home assistant (I understand there IS an integration) but I want to do this right.

    • Should I be doing probably one zigbee switch per room in the remodel (pantry, kitchen, laundry, mudroom) and then kasa? Then eventually move over to full HA?

    • I am struggling to figure out how to help the family switch away from Google to HA, but maybe I want to mask HA with Google? We are using the hub max displays around the house and I'm not sure how to pass control without posting dashboards (which I haven't made) to the Google displays.

    Sorry this is rambling, but what should I be thinking about here and how do I take next steps to ungoogle the house? I feel like instead of gobbling random stuff together like I have been doong I have an opportunity to make a commitment, but if I choose wrong it's like a $1k+ mistake at $50 per switch/outlet.
