We should have an annual Mega Cake Month for all of those who joined Lemmy back in June, to celebrate our move away from Reddit.
I rather stop mentioning that other site and giving it any more attention

Mexico’s first openly non-binary magistrate and prominent LGBTQ activist found dead

While it isn’t surprising in Mexico, it is also not surprising from any other country either. Not sure what’s the point of singling it out.

Mexico is heading towards its most violent election ever, with 30 candidates murdered, 77 threatened and 11 kidnapped
Reply in thread
I agree on your comment about the current situation. It is very violent. Either it’s getting more reporting than previous years or it actually is as bad as it seems. But I might be misunderstanding the tone of your comment here, it reads very apologetic of the current government to me:
It really sounds like another article trying to tie our president with the organized crime, something that has been shyly thrown at the average citizen several times now.
Maybe because it’s true? As another mexican, I have absolutely no doubt the government is working with cartels in different regions in exchange of more control, both ways. And I’m not saying it happened just in this administration, it’s been happening for at least 20 years.
My take is that some regions where the government wants bigger control are currently controlled by rival cartels where the government currently has bigger control in.
I also find it a bit cynical so write that this fact is being “shyly thrown around”, why are there so many articles about it then? The current president –the face of the government– had been seen multiple times visiting el Chapo’s mom. Very shy of him.

Apple’s M3 Silicon Surrenders to Linux: A Technical Milestone for Open Source
Reply in thread
Playing devils advocate here. I saw the C3 presentation of the Asahi Linux team back in December, they showed that while Apple is not contributing to the project, they’re intentionally leaving the door open to install other OSs, not trying to “block FOSS”.

Funny you mention mountains, Monterrey has tons of them, and although they have no snow on them, it’s a great place to go if you like the climbing or hiking type of eco-tourism.

iOS17 - Battery Drain Worse Than Recent Beta

I noticed the same on my Series 4, which, as old as it is, used to last me through the day with about 30% left by 8pm. I had to turn on the low power mode yesterday at noon with around 60% and then it died by 7pm

Mexico's president says he won't fight drug cartels on US orders, calls it a 'Mexico First' policy
Reply in thread
How is this “fight” being represented? I ask, because in more than one occasion he’s been seen being close to El Chapo’s mother, do you mean he’s “fighting” cartels by negotiating with them? Or does this fight mean rather things like shouting “more hugs, less shootings”, or his menacing “I’ll tell on you to your mothers!” to the cartels?

Control light without 3rd party app
Reply in thread
AFAIK you don’t need the remote, there’s a combination of turning the bulbs on/off a couple of times to reset them, and then you can add them using touchlink. The process is a bit tedious, but it works.

Hey OP, I just installed Fedora KDE as dual boot on my desktop (slowly transitioning from Windows) and I can vouch for what the person above you is saying. Good luck, and feel free to ask anything. I’m no expert, but I can at least listen.

Remote access possible via HomeKit integration?
Update: It works! I get all notifications from my sensors and it's working great. Thanks everyone!
For future reference, my setup:
HASS OS running on an SSD (Kingston A2000 250GB) connected to a RaspberryPi 4B 4GB
And an addendum: If anyone is having trouble migrating their Zigbee devices from Homebridge to Home Assistant, what helped me was unplugging all previous zigbee router devices before setting up the new Zigbee network, otherwise the coordinator wouldn't start or some weird issue would pop up during setup. After disconnecting the router devices I was able to start the coordinator, and add the routers again to the new network.
