  • I just want to say, Mamdani is excellent. But I feel like he’s getting a lot of undue credit when the candidates he endorsed are just great people. For example, Brad Lander was a similarly-strong candidate for NYC mayor who was arrested by ICE for attempting to prevent them from detaining someone. When Mamdani won the Primary for Mayor everyone kinda just knew Brad had a future somewhere else.

    Mamdani deserves some credit for endorsing good people, and using his brand to boost them, but it seems like the accomplishments of those he endorsed are getting overshadowed in articles and headlines by what seems like an attempt to turn real progressive momentum into “Mamdani’s little club.”

    Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against Mamdani, or even him being the face of the movement. It just seems like there are people in power trying to undermine him and the movement by making him the face of it.








  • My one big gripe with the Maintenance Dashboard is that it Home Assistant now hides battery status on other dashboards. So, for example I have the devices for my off-grid solar setup all in a “room” called “Solar”, and to show battery charge percentages on the same page, I’m having to use a template helper to make my battery percentages not appear as batteries so they don’t get moved from the “Solar” room/group on my dashboard to the Maintenance Dashboard.

    A way to mark certain batteries as not tracked on Maintenance Dashboard or something would be nice for the rare occasions where a battery state isn’t a maintenance concern but is relevant to the area I’ve tagged it as being in.


  • I think this a lot, but occasionally my autism wins and it has near perfect recall and it’s really great at showing me all the times I screwed up, didn’t understand a situation, embarrassed myself or others, or was misunderstood and mistreated. And I get stuck in a hole of depression and memories. Sometimes, the ADHD memory issues are less of a curse and more a feature.
