Depending on whether this code is in a hotpath (and considering how "elementary" it is, I figure that's a possibility), this could very well be a significant speed improvement.

Though I'd say that only excuses it if it's truly an elementary function (and not one line as part of a larger function), as otherwise it's unreadable garbage. But on its own it:

• has a clear purpose
• (presumably) isn't reimplementing functionality
• is easily tested
• can be modified with no side effects (besides breaking your calendar, but that's beside the point)

Right? Like, I felt like I was missing the punchline here.

This honestly a very well-written article

I hesitate to ask, but, why do you have your IP change every minute? You seem to have a very atypical usecase

Session network binding on its own seems pretty damn basic.

I think said lonely people would rather chat with a boring therapist than with assholes on the internet who don't even make the slightest attempt to empathize

Unfortunately if you let Junior play in legacy code once, it'll learn some nasty habits and make more of it from scratch, usually when you're trying to sleep.

Same icon pack here!

I'd love to know where that setting is. As far as I've been able to see, I'd have to rebuild mastodon myself to be able to do that, and that's just less convenient for me than pulling the default docker images

Joke's on you, the stuff that my college tried to teach me was obsolete a decade before I was even born thanks to tenured professors who never updated their curriculum. Thank fuck I live in the Internet age.

I'm sorry, but I think you might just hate Java. Because that very much sounds like a Java problem.

To add onto this:

Home Assistant isn't "yet another" service. It's not trying to do vendor lock in: you can think of Home Assistant kinda like a "glue" framework.

It's meant to let you systemically attach devices/software across any number of mediums, and pre-existing services, and let them play nice.

So if you've already gone and set up your Google Home, or Alexa, or Apple Homekit, you don't have to abandon them to use Home Assistant.

Sometimes you can't even get away from it: the thermostat that came with our rental basically only has a useful Samsung Smartthings integration, but we can still use it with Home Assistant.
