SystemHome Assistant OS, the Home Assistant Operating System, is an embedded, minimalistic, operating system designed to run the Home Assistant ecosystem. It is the recommended installation method for most users.

From the docs for installing on a RPi

That thumbnail is a good one for !veryrealtechpics@lemmy.world

It has been suggested the name “Stan” is a portmanteau of the words “stalker” and “fan”, though it is unknown if the name was chosen with that intention. The term “stan” has since become an internet slang term for an extremely obsessed fan of something or someone and is derived from the song’s title.

Might be both!

I think the problem is that people use “algorithm” to mean “curated social media feed”, whereas it actually refers to a kick-ass prog-metal band

There’s also UntrackMe which does similar things on Android

I think the hard part would be keeping it up to date as instances change

Indeed, hence the description and it being here in the joke community

Amusingly that actually seems to involve more decision making than this

the answer given by the watch was not generated by AI in the strict sense but “by grabbing public information on websites on the Internet.”

So it’s just doing the same thing that Google’s “AI search” does where it copies the joke answers from reddit?

I guess the people we associate with aren’t the kind to be interested, and even if they are there’s apparently nothing worth saying about it

200 million users apparently, though I think that everyone with an Instagram account was auto-added (or something like that)

Now Meta can cash out on your data via B.

Everything we’re posting is public, anyone can cash in on it regardless of who you defederate.

It’s not a repost if it’s in a different community

Just pick up a cheap, secondhand mainframe

First I’ve heard of it being unpopular, what’s unclean or unprofessional about it?

As several people have already pointed out on the other thread, we already have a well-established fediverse logo:

Given that I recently read the intro on Codeberg (which I think is the main public Forgejo instance) and it was very pro-copyleft, I’m surprised this wasn’t already the case! Good news, though.

Feels to me that being able to link what people like/dislike to their comments and username is much more dangerous than just being able to downvote all their comments.

And I’d hope that in this new suggestion an admin would still be able to ban the user even if they only knew the anonymous/voter ID, though that’s probably an interesting question for OP.

I guess that can happen now anyway as the bad actor can just create their own instance with as many fake accounts as they like. Ultimately it’s still on other instance admins to block the dodgy ones either way.

whilst doing nothing to protect them

Well it also takes away a tool that harassers can use for their harassing of individuals, right? This does highlight the often-requested issue of Lemmy needs better/more moderation tools though.
