Doesn’t the recommendations require some history?

Though I feel that has peaked too, I think the recommendation engine was best around 2011 to 2015. It’s kinda gone downhill since.

I think the issue is being privacy-minded but being on YouTube. But I guess there are different levels of privacy, one doesn’t have to be at hermit-like levels. xD

Yea, I do it less for privacy reasons, and more for tidiness. Tracking parameters can be so unwieldly nowadays. Something that’s 30-40 characters long can balloon to 200-300 characters.

People generally don’t care (I myself am not at the level of this community). It also involves enough technical know-how that most people won’t care. It’s like asking people to use a CLI, not going to happen. I’m pretty sure I’m one of the few people who still C&P URLs to share, most people hit a “Share” button.

Unnecessary feature bloat, that’s what it is.

Many Asia countries too, probably Europe too.

Try living in a society that has WhatsApp as default. I cannot do my job without it.

Don’t own my current home, so am only looking to do so when I move. Though I’ll take your advice on experimenting and learning, so I’ll have a better of idea what to expect/to do when that day comes. Think Pi4s aren’t too expensive to get and muck around with.

Thanks, Green is quite new, I first heard of it like a week ago. Since I’m not familiar with the platform, thought I’d ask. Am anticipating moving to a new home in a few years time so am aiming to get it set up with some useful automation.

This is why I downvoted you: I was asking a legit question but was treated as a joke. I was hoping the Fediverse would have less of Reddit’s nonsense replies but I guess not.

No, Green is their latest launch, supposed to be cheaper and easier for newcomers to start.

If that is the attitude that vets take when newcomers ask questions, good luck getting widspread adoption.

Would a Home Assistant Green be just as good?

No expectation of privacy in public spaces is for use like photos and videos that just record you, not track you. This isn’t no expectation of privacy, this is expect to be identified publicly, it’s definitely a step above.

I hope it spreads and influences other countries. Despite what people think about EU’s regulations, I do think they care more for their citizens than many governments.
