Market seems to be doing this for us so far.

Namecheap API works just fine with Certbot DNS challenges for me, FWIW.

I don't use Haier products but a similar thing happened with Chamberlain when they blocked the MyQ integration even though it was using the legitimate API and not breaking any rules. No attempt to work with anyone in the HA community at all, just shut everything down.

On one hand, this means projects like Home Assistant are getting popular enough to have enough usage to effect these companies. So that's great! In the long term, we'll all figure out solutions, but in the short term it feels like an increasing fight between corporate and open-source control over smart devices.

IMO, it's also worth the yearly cost for voice integration with Google Nest/Home or similar devices. Both can be done without paying but it's so much easier and I know it'll be supported over time.

Are people capable of changing?

In a civil case like this, admitting they were wrong is way more embarrassing than having to pay a fine.

It's not a bad thing that you have a hard time empathizing with pedophiles, in case that helps.

How could this possibly be ruled as Constitutional? Let alone any remaining shadow of 'party of small government' irony, that shipped sailed into the West a long, long time ago.

Jay walking was originally a derogatory term for rural people in the 'big city' and supposedly not knowing how to navigate paved streets.

All of those are/were stigmatized specifically because of legal status.

What are you even taking about, my man.

There's also a third audience most people don't consider: everyone reading the thread that isn't engaging directly.

You might not convince the direct 'opponent' in an internet debate, but can still make an impact on others that might be more open to listening to a new perspective.

You should feel bad for having this perspective. Reflect on that and try to be better in the future!

Are the police the correct organization to handle a potential dog bite?

You just made that shit up. This proposal hasn't even been put in place so how could anyone know for certain that would happen??

I have a DS418play which is several generations behind and it runs a dozen Docker containers, including all of my media automation, just fine. I even host a Minecraft server for my nephews!

And fully supported by Synology, too! They are pretty good at embracing the community while still keeping security as a priority.

Sounds like the homeless guy was "assaulted" first.

He had two dogs with him. Highly doubt he's getting mugged or attacked by mountain lions.

We should ban that shit, too.

Not sure what that has to do with the police, but they should have recommended a company to to help with cleanup at least.
