It is a political tool …

What is?

national narrative

WTF is that?

in this case, we know it’s not because they got rid of that option. Why? Because the task is infeasible to support.

You’re not making any sense.

the devs no longer offer it as a supported method

Are you saying that the Home Assistant developers used to support distro packages?

No one is saying it is impossible

OP is saying that. They said it was “infeasible”.

Well, yeah.

Why do you think that because a person could do something they necessarily will?

it isn’t actually that feasible then, otherwise you’d do more than just whine about it on the Internet

So let me get your logic straight: you’re saying that it isn’t feasible because if it were feasible then a person who could do it would necessarily do it? LOL that makes no sense.

Then do if for your distribution then.

I use Debian.

It’s clearly not that difficult, you’ve all but explicitly stated as much.

I have not said that, or anything like it.

Perhaps you missed the fact that I’m not a Home Assistant user and have no interest in contributing?

I’m not a Debian Developer and won’t become one: http://settrans.net/~rah/why-not-debian.html

Also, I’m not a Home Assistant user so I’ve no interest in contributing.

It can certainly happen

What can?

In the US, right now, who holds power is still decided by who gets the most votes in elections.

But a vote doesn’t have an impact.

This presumes that a vote has an impact.

Who is yalls go to

O_o

feigning ignorance of the subject matter

your comments do come off a little bit like that

LOL damned if you do, damned if you don’t. If one doesn’t understand what another person means, there’s no way to gain understanding except to ask them. That people interpret genuine attempts to enter into dialogue as feigning ignorance shows, to me at least, the astonishingly low level of average communication ability.

people often use it to dismiss any further discussion

Communication can be too difficult for some.

the sealion

I don’t understand what you mean.

It biases them towards catering to public demand instead of being a neutral arbiter of justice.

But they’re biased anyway, towards whoever has the power to take away their job. They’re never neutral arbiters of justice.

Wow, who did all that? Do you have references to back up what you’re saying?

If it doesn’t work then why are you still posting?

LOL

@lemmy.ml

Ah, now it makes sense.

they’re making the decision of whom you can & can’t talk to on your behalf; whether or not you asked them for it

If I want to talk to people on a defederated instance, I can create an account on the defederated instance. Nobody has made any decision for me. You seem unhinged.

I believe there’s strength in sticking with the other EU members

What do you mean, “strength”?
