    You’re getting downvoted to oblivion, but I do see and agree with your point: “Branding matters”

    A significant portion of the population will not rub two brain cells together to understand the “warming -> change” connection, as reasonable as it is. Same thing with the “defund the police” slogan. Yes, when you understand the concept you can see the meaning, but for those that don’t bother to understand the concept, the “brand name” is the beginning and the end of thought applied. When the “brand name” is easily attackable, the idea is dead so far as they’re concerned.

    As frustrating as it is, persuasive arguments need to also appeal to those who are persuaded by quips and jokes as well as those who are persuaded by logic and reason. Unfortunately “Global Warming”, the “old brand” is still sticking around, and still able to be joked away by many people, hence the reason for the image post in the first place.


  • Once they rolled out ads on the home page (Shame. Shame. Shame.), I installed “Launcher manager” and “Wolf launcher” to give it an interface I really like. A big background picture, some large buttons for the commonly used apps, and then progressively smaller buttons as you scroll down the screen for the less commonly used features.

    It broke once when an update rolled out, but since then has been running fine and I never once see the bloated monstrosity that is the default home screen.

    The only qualm with my setup I have is that access to the configuration sidebar isn’t as intuitive as it was with the pre 9.0 version (which frankly I don’t remember anymore aside from the general impression). That’s a very minor price to pay to have an interface without ads.


  • Thanks for the response, that confirms my assumption, seems like I was configuring it right, but the behavior is not as expected.

    • If HA is active/onscreen already, the command will do nothing.
    • If HA is idle/offscreen, the command will bring HA to the forefront, but not change pages. (This is the state it is in after the “turn_off” sends the launcher intent.)
    • If HA is off, the command will launch HA, and navgate to the correct page.

    Is this all that is to be expected? or should I be able to get to the desired dashboard, from any previous screen or application state?



  • Winner winner chicken dinner! This is EXACTLY what happened. I reprinted again after tightening belts, fixing bed wobble, and re-leveling, and kept a closer eye on it this time. The nozzle was indeed catching on that “Y” support due to the edge curling up. Wasnt enough to kill the print this time, but enough to make me nervous…

    Ironically, the thing I’m printing is an all-in-one case so that I can segregate the PSU, main board, pi, and controls from the printer itself to enclose it and have better temp control!
