I'd appreciate if people automating posting random state info about their house to Mastodon [tangentially: why? who benefits?] either wouldn't do it with the #homeassistant hashtag, or at least would include another common, easily mutable hashtag so I don't have to keep muting accounts while following the HA hashtag because I'm interested in, well, people talking about Home Assistant. 🙃

Sometimes I get imposter syndrome like "am I really #actuallyautistic " (despite getting diagnosed over a year ago) and then I find myself awake at 1 am on a work day having spent the past 3 hours customising an information bar in the top 30 pixels of my screen.

Similar voice mail today. Replied via their messaging platform and asked for acknowledgment. Acknowledged, and THEN they mention it is something that needs confirmation over the phone. After 2 back and forths. The second voice mail didn't even mention this.
I called up and went through the identity verification stuff and then finally reiterated "yes I am okay with ".
Like if something absolutely requires to be over the phone
1) Stop that
2) State it immediately

@homeassistant Wow, packed full of amazing stuff! The new infrared stuff looks a lot more accessible than what I've been doing over the last few years: putting together esphome doodads for the specific device and where possible, squishing it into the device itself. :-)
I've even designed my own PCBs to replace the ones with the IR receiver in our A/C units; replicating the original design while adding an ESP32 module to the back and an IR LED next to the receiver.

@csolisr There are loads of prototype PCB fab places out there but certainly not all of them are quite so affordable - https://pcbshopper.com/

@Cassandra@autistics.life @niamhgarvey@mastodon.ie I've read it a while ago and it's so lovely and affirming! Probably could do with a re-read. :)
One of my best friends has set up a fundraiser for a wheelchair accessible van that would help them get their partner timely medical care that doesn't end up just injuring them more or draining their funds. They've been dealt a very shitty hand in life- any bit you could chip in helps. Thanks for reading their story and/or passing it along.

Happy April Fools day! The one day a year that bullshit and untruths are posted for the sake of "humour" instead of manipulation.
@R@mast.qixto.com Mastodon has plenty of tools to curate what you see. You can mute accounts for one, if you don't like what they post; and they won't show up in hashtag feeds. Or anywhere. This was an option available to you other than assuming someone's life circumstances and being incredibly unkind to them.
