People can have a rich spiritual life and not believe in religion.

Try some organic food.

Really important work! Thank you. The EU is good had holding the vultures accountable but USA continues to let them thrive.

Thank you! So many people do not realize that this is coming to everyone who invests in digital games like this.

I will spend it educating people that we write fifteen dollars as $15.

Forgive me but the Pi is an order Of magnitude better than the dinosaurs you mention.

I always appreciate the memes that show up at Lemmy, but this meme reduces the amount of effort that also goes into earning some merit badges. I think it’s funny but kind of tone deaf.

You can keep the PDF and drink it with your Koolaid.

I don’t really know anything about grey Jay. I just know how to create my own archives of files and use them as I please. I’m not sure why I would need any kind of app to access my files — except for the player.

I collect actual media files — it’s easy and perfectly reliable. We’ve been doing it since 1997. Why do anything else?

I’ve got a collection of classic iPods — the ones with the clickwheel.

Yes — the files can take time to download and organize and curate but in the end — if I need a thousand hours of audio I can rely on… well, it’s easy and fail proof.

So… when I want to control content I’m consuming, I get the .mp3 or .pdf or whatever it is I’m interested in.

How is grayjay a more reliable manner of being in control of my content on cross country drives ir wherever? I’m not tracking here. Why would anyone choose grayjay over simply controlling their own drives?

Word to the wise.

Sounds convenient.

I’m sure they have an app to help you understand.

Nope. Just like living. Not sure what all the hoo-haw’s about. Never felt so old in my life.

Who doesn’t like hand feeding the fish? Why even have them?

Imagine… setting it while at home.

That’s true. It doesn’t.

I like the idea that some folks have entirely private systems run by raspberry-pi. That sounds fun.

But what can it do more easily than an mid 20th century home can do?

Okay — can anyone — and I mean anyone, please explain to me that allure of the so called home assistant. Our home was built in 1965. Its housed many families very comfortably. It houses our family very comfortably. Our kids are heading off to college. Tra la la. We have holidays, happiness, and we contribute to the community at a variety of events. We sleep well. Eat well. We host parties of up to fifty people sometimes… we have a yard.We have a dog, two cats, fish etc. All the things that happen in a home.

We are happy.

We have no so called smart products. We use a terrestrial radio in the kitchen on the daily. We stream from the rip-off services when we desire. We are up on the shows etc. So we have internet — each of us has a phone and a device for working. I just don’t get it.

What is the allure of the so called smart home etc?

The last true hero.
