According to Wikipedia, Burger King and Tim Hortons merged to make Restaurant Brands International, which is headquartered in Toronto, alongside Tim Hortons. Burger King kept their own HQ in the US.

If anything, that makes Burger King Canadian.

Dan seems to have trouble sticking with a single project. Sometimes it feels like he announces some new thing every week that never gets finished.

Google wants your app to handle payments through Play Services so they can get a cut. I think it’s technically allowed now to have external payment links in certain cases, but sometimes it’s just easier to remove the thing Google is mad at even if they’re in the wrong.

Again, though, that commit is only for the Google Play variant. Maybe some weird branch merging thing happened and it ended up in the main branch accidentally, but it shouldn’t have made it to F-DROID.

0.76 should only exist for the Play Store. Donation links had to be removed in the Google Play variant: https://github.com/LemmyNet/jerboa/commit/ea2776441b4f76ff66f7beb7b64e5291101af5c5.

Not sure why F-DROID would pick up changes from a different branch and build them.

I have a 4GB Raspberry Pi 5 running Home Assistant and it’s doing well.

For comparison, the Pi has a 4-core A76 processor while the CM3588 has 4 A76 cores plus another 4 A55 cores. I think it’ll do fine.

So you would say they’re comparable then? Maybe even analogous?

Feels like there’s a lot of context missing in both your post here and where you link.

Like others have said, ZigBee is the way to go for low-traffic things like temperature sensors. It uses a lot less power than WiFi, so battery-powered devices can last for months on a CR2032.

I’ve got some Aqara temperature/humidity sensors that I have hooked up to my Smartthings Hub and then imported into Home Assistant through the cloud, but you can use any ZigBee adapter that works with Home Assistant: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/using-aqara-temp-and-humidity-sensor/408166/9.

I also recently got some Sensibo Elements boxes, which are wall-powered WiFi air quality sensors that include temperature/humidity. They have an official HA integration. If you go for them, don’t worry about the sale countdown on the website; it doesn’t actually seem to ever end.

I think you’re overthinking this, and extrapolating limited data way too far.

For one, of course historically rich countries are going to be hosting more technology. Tech is expensive, and less developed countries are called that because they’re less developed, which includes electricity grids, internet, economic power, and so on.

Another issue is that just because a Mastodon server is hosted in a particular country, doesn’t mean only people in or from that country can make an account there. Sure, there are some servers that want to keep their communities specific to their local area, but the vast majority have no restrictions. Anyone from anywhere can sign up.

If you’re trying to figure out how to make it so historically poor countries have the most servers instead, you’re going to have to figure out how to fund and manage infrastructure expansion.

It feels like you’re coming at this with the assumption of “every country has the resources to spin up hundreds of social media servers, but they’re just not interested”, which is kind of a weird conclusion to come to after recognizing the historical impact of colonialism and the privilege differences it’s led to.

It looks like Jerboa is forcing HTTPS. It’s using the Markwon library for parsing markdown, and a custom ForceHttpsPlugin is installed: https://github.com/LemmyNet/jerboa/blob/19be714fe08eaff6d2f616aa3da1b82df81a1d84/app/src/main/java/com/jerboa/ui/components/common/MarkdownHelper.kt#L93.

I mean technically it’s possible to have different sites on http:// and https://, since the conventional ports are different (80 and 443), but it’d be a pretty weird thing to do.

Edit: I just visited the links and the http:// one does indeed go to an xkcd-style site, while https:// has some dogecoin tracker with a broken SSL certificate.

Edit again: the SSL certificate is for dogecoinaverage.com, so I have a feeling this person just misconfigured their nginx or Apache instance.

Yet another edit: the maintainer’s Mastodon is linked on the xkcd site, which links to their GitHub, which includes the source for the Dogecoin average site: https://github.com/Two9A/dogecoin-average. Definitely just a weird misconfiguration.

I gotta be honest, I’m not sure I’d be willing to trust something I set up myself with general-purpose software to handle something as important as a smoke alarm alert.

That’s the sort of thing that gets hardware dedicated to the task and doesn’t rely on me configuring everything correctly and Linux not crashing because some other unrelated process had issues.

Double tapping and holding on the second tap for granular zoom with one finger is a standard feature on Android.

The person you’re replying to is just suggesting an alternative for one-finger zoom. Pinching with two fingers still works.

There are so many like this in the US. I don’t understand who thought they were a good idea or why they keep getting made

Except the ones with two lanes that can both exit or continue

Voyager doesn’t have a way to send it links.

Stars could be from people who used to use it and no longer do, or who planned to try it out but never got around to it.

GitHub forks are kind of a meaningless statistic in my experience. So many of them are from people accidentally forking the repo and just never deleting their fork, or from spam accounts that fork random repos to make PRs with random content.

It should still work until 2024.9.
