Take good photos too, it helps more than you'd think.

I rarely find a situation where I need a feature that doesn't exist that's important enough to me to implement it myself. It's a heck of a lot easier to just, for example, purchase things that already work with an existing home assistant integration.

I suppose I could contribute with bug fixes and such, but I have a lot of hobbies that I'm already busy with, and I do development work as my main job.

That's a gatekeeper-y take. I tried Linux a few years back, so I guess I became a "real" tech geek a few years ago. Never mind the fact that I was 3/4 the way through a CS degree, I'd built my own computer, and was the go-to tech guy in my family. But nope, not yet a tech geek.

Yeah, I'm not sure what OP is on about or how they get away with it. I'd get phone calls for how to use outlook and MS word. I'm fortunate to have a fairly tech literate grandma, but she is old, which means set in her ways. She probably could use Linux, but she would not see the point in putting in the effort to switch habits.

The only way I can justify eating at McDonald's is by using their app to get free fries n such. Usually I can get out of there with lunch for between 5 and 10 bucks.

Even so, the value of Wendy's Biggie Bag blows McDonald's pricing out of the water, if I'm choosing to have fast food, I might as well have that.

His history is really interesting. He wasn't always a raging republican. He realized it worked and got views though, so here we are. I'd highly reccommend watching Some More News' video on the guy, it's interesting and kinda funny in all of the depressing ways.

Someone can knowingly be an idiot.
