I use openscale and a Beuer BF700 (I think that’s the model #, it’s a model listed in the github wiki) and it works great, although I had to do the initial setup on their proprietary app to get the profiles to work right, and the scale had to be imported/was a bit hard to find. The wiki includes instructions for modifying a scale to add an arduino and the necessary bits to DIY one if you’re at all technically inclined.

I recommend it, but YMMV if you try to use a newer scale. If I ever have more time I would like to try to extend the drivers to support more scales, because openscale is very good software.

Nothing is impossible to compromise. It’s about making it not worth it (why go after some home lab when they can use the same methods to extort milliions of dollars?).

Unfortunately, these days it’s quite possible it’s coming from an LLM. I agree with your sentiment, you just have to always keep in mind what other possible incentives an actor on the internet may have for sharing a fact or opinion, whether it’s simply monetary (corporate wants you to buy this product), political (this state wants to you to believe this thing), or personal (this person has a grudge against this thing and is willing to use bots to amplify their discontent).

Lemmy’s Docs are pretty good.

Under filters and blocks in settings! You definitely can.

RunnerUp for Android is great

A few niche examples:

Good luck convincing the non-technical users there to come here. This place is currently great for interests catered to programmers and sysadmins (speaking as one!), but artist and hobby communities are seriously lacking.

That’s fair, I guess I just don’t see the connection to OP. From how you phrased this I assumed you were disagreeing.

This looks cool, but I would prefer to not pass my credentials to a third party, especially for features that should probably be in the default client.

Engagement does not exclusively mean commenting or posting; voting is also engagement. If you just want to lurk, why have an account in the first place?

I fully expect this to go away as soon as bluesky overtakes other platforms in users.
