I always appreciate the memes that show up at Lemmy, but this meme reduces the amount of effort that also goes into earning some merit badges. I think it’s funny but kind of tone deaf.

The last true hero.

Why is replacement for home device controls so complicated?

I recently learned about Home Assistant here on Lemmy. It looks like a replacement for Google Home, etc. However, it requires an entire hardware installation. Proprietary products just use a simple app to manage and control devices, so can someone explain why a pretty robust dedicated device is necessary as a replacement? The...

Okay — can anyone — and I mean anyone, please explain to me that allure of the so called home assistant. Our home was built in 1965. Its housed many families very comfortably. It houses our family very comfortably. Our kids are heading off to college. Tra la la. We have holidays, happiness, and we contribute to the community at a variety of events. We sleep well. Eat well. We host parties of up to fifty people sometimes… we have a yard.We have a dog, two cats, fish etc. All the things that happen in a home.

We are happy.

We have no so called smart products. We use a terrestrial radio in the kitchen on the daily. We stream from the rip-off services when we desire. We are up on the shows etc. So we have internet — each of us has a phone and a device for working. I just don’t get it.

What is the allure of the so called smart home etc?

wowwoweowza ,

That’s true. It doesn’t.

I like the idea that some folks have entirely private systems run by raspberry-pi. That sounds fun.

But what can it do more easily than an mid 20th century home can do?

wowwoweowza ,

Imagine… setting it while at home.

wowwoweowza ,

Nope. Just like living. Not sure what all the hoo-haw’s about. Never felt so old in my life.

Who doesn’t like hand feeding the fish? Why even have them?

wowwoweowza ,

I’m sure they have an app to help you understand.

wowwoweowza ,

Sounds convenient.

Sadly: slaves

Aged like milk.

wowwoweowza ,

Turns out that the world DOES believe in AI and I said aged like milk because the original line is cautionary but we do didn’t listen and now we will suffer those consequences. It was an under appreciated comment because I did not offer clear context.

wowwoweowza ,

But the girl on the right seems into it, right?

wowwoweowza ,

Ha! I never even saw her!

wowwoweowza ,

Thank you brave friend. I came here to say this.

I’m so fatigued by the sentiment behind this meme and so many others.

Ergh… there’s something intruding on my video game playing… what an inconvenience… boo hoo…

wowwoweowza ,

Compassion is a part of human nature.

I think that people who need to be cared for should be cared for.

I think that’s a different issue than the one presented in the meme.

wowwoweowza ,

So… let’s keep this in the context of the general population.

There seems to be a subset of perfectly well adjusted able bodied healthy adults that complain about anything that distracts them from video games.

I think that’s a problem.

How about you?

wowwoweowza ,

Why am I getting the feeling that the only people you acknowledge as actual are disabled?

wowwoweowza ,

In case you’re worried: you deserve to be alive.

wowwoweowza ,

I personally would support UBI.

Promise.

wowwoweowza ,

What do you feel gives a person the greatest feelings of true contentment, confidence, and achievement?

wowwoweowza OP ,

I was surprised.

wowwoweowza OP ,

It’s the prompts we have a improve at this point.

wowwoweowza ,

There really was a long moment when things were beautful.

wowwoweowza ,

Context plz?

wowwoweowza ,

Thank you. And why use the sniper rifle in the meme?

wowwoweowza OP ,

How did you manage to quit drinking? Good for you!

wowwoweowza ,

Tell me you’re kidding, right?

There is zero self awareness in LLMs.

wowwoweowza ,

Techno feudalism! Thank you!

wowwoweowza ,

The great LINUX uprising of 2025!!!

wowwoweowza ,

Keep me posted.

And thanks for the link to the images!

wowwoweowza ,

I’m out of the loop… what’s this referencing?

wowwoweowza ,

So… they were spying? In Vancouver?

wowwoweowza ,

Ohhh! Lemmy is my people. We are small as a group but mighty in spirit. Sometimes I miss my weird little subs at Deadit and o go back and am reminded by the thirty point IQ drop across the board and I content myself to return to Lemmy and see exactly what I needed to see.

Off to the rest of my day.

This one meme satisfies so completely. Except that I may modify it to reflect my decade clean from fast food. Onward!

Rice cookers of the world unite!

wowwoweowza ,

Not trying to be clever but I really see it as to resist is to exist.

Otherwise we are subsumed and consumed.

wowwoweowza ,

Rice cookers.

wowwoweowza ,

Crockpot.

wowwoweowza ,

Just a thought. Be well.

wowwoweowza ,

Voting Biden. Hoping it matters.

BTW: scammed.

If Lemmy is to survive we need to get that spelling correct in our memes or we are not better than post-IPO-Reddit.

wowwoweowza OP ,

The height of American culture.
