Surprisingly, there are a lot of people who have still never heard of Lemmy on Reddit. I mentioned it in a post about this and got flooded with people asking me what Lemmy is and how to sign up.

I hope lemmy servers are ready for another population boom.

My point exactly. They originated as a open initiative to make AI open and accessible to everyone. Hence their name. Greed made them change their stance and now they are only open in name.

Trolls will be trolls. There are millions of foss projects that function as community efforts and thrive. As another example, have you ever used Wikipedia?

Maybe if OpenAI didn’t suddenly decide not to be open when they got in bed with Micro$oft, they could just make it a community effort. I own a copyrighted work that the AI hasn’t been feed yet, so I loan it as training and you do the same. They could have made it an open initiative. Missed opportunity from a greedy company. Push the boundaries of technology, and we can all reap the rewards.

I would be amazed if Gaza still exists when this war is over.

And apathy is why so many businesses are getting away with anti consumer practices.

I think you’re missing the point that it is working and they are intentionally breaking it.

Great suggestion. Thank you both!

Anyone have a suggestion for a alternative simple light weight podcast app for android?

Edit: I installed antennapod and it’s exactly what I was looking for. Very light weight and even open source. Thank you for all the suggestions.

Good God I pay 90 a month for 1 gig fiber. What county are you in?

After a water heater leak I just made my own. I run my HA on a Raspberry Pi, so I connected the GPIO pins to a current-limiting resistor and some wires that I put in the drip pan of my water heater. I made the two contacts using a screw connector, and hot glued it in the pan. You can also do this with an ESP chip. Additionally, I integrated my smoke detectors through an optoisolator and connected all my hard-wired door and window sensors to the GPIO. It’s been working great this way for me.

Because you obviously didn’t even bother to read the article.

AnitaB.org, the nonprofit that runs the conference, said there was “an increase in participation of self-identifying males” at this year’s event.

When I tried playing with omit in the template editor I got an error about omit being undefined so probably not built in. Bummer because that would be a very elegant solution to this. I’m going to put this down for the night and try picking it back up tomorrow. I really appreciate all the suggestions. Hopefully it will lead me to a solution.

It worked the same as your suggestion above. In cases the variable is used it does works as intended but in the situation the variable is not set it’s still sending data: just with a blank value.

To give more context I’m working on a media control dashboard. The script or rather scripts I have to send commands to kodi is as follows

kodi_control:
  sequence:
  - service: kodi.call_method
    target:
      entity_id: '{{ kodi_entity }}'
    data:
      method: '{{ kodi_method }}'

kodi_control_playback:
  sequence:
  - service: kodi.call_method
    target:
      entity_id: '{{ kodi_entity }}'
    data:
      method: '{{ kodi_method }}'
      playerid: '{{ kodi_playerid }}'

kodi_control_subtitles:
  sequence:
  - service: kodi.call_method
    target:
      entity_id: '{{ kodi_entity }}'
    data:
      method: '{{ kodi_method }}'
      action: '{{ kodi_action }}'

kodi_control_seek:
  sequence:
  - service: kodi.call_method
    target:
      entity_id: '{{ kodi_entity }}'
    data:
      method: '{{ kodi_method }}'
      playerid: '{{ kodi_playerid }}'
      value: '{{ kodi_value }}'

kodi_control_playlist:
  sequence:
  - service: kodi.call_method
    target:
      entity_id: '{{ kodi_entity }}'
    data:
      method: '{{ kodi_method }}'
      window: '{{ kodi_window }}'
      parameters: '{{ [ kodi_parameters ] }}'

I would like to condense all of this down to a single script using “is defined” to omit the parts not needed for certain commands so something like

kodi_control:
  sequence:
  - service: kodi.call_method
    target:
      entity_id: '{{ kodi_entity }}'
    data: >-
      method: '{{ kodi_method }}'
      {% if kodi_playerid is defined %}
        playerid: '{{ kodi_playerid }}'
      {% endif %}
      {% if kodi_action is defined %}
        action: '{{ kodi_action }}'
      {% endif %}
      {% if kodi_value is defined %}
        value: '{{ kodi_value }}'
      {% endif %}
      {% if kodi_window is defined %}
        window: '{{ kodi_window }}'
      {% endif %}
      {% if kodi_parameters is defined %}
        parameters: '{{ [ kodi_parameters ] }}'
      {% endif %}

Problem with the above is I get “result is not a dictionary”

Is it possible to do this in a way that completely omits data: from the command if the variable isn’t defined?
