They probably wanted to save money on support staff, now they will get a massive OpenAI bill instead lol. I find this hilarious.
If you use ~~"smart devices"~~ cheap Chinese garbage that requires a 24/7 connection to some random insecure cloud server in your home, you're a fucking moron. But there are some great solutions that run entirely locally and enable you to do some really cool home automation. Check out the !homeautomation@lemmy.world community, as well as !homeassistant@lemmy.world. Home Assistant is probably the best piece of software for building an actually smart home, that's also sovereign and not reliant on an internet connection or some company and their infrastructure.
Still a ridiculous move. If I buy an appliance, I pay for it and I own it. I am allowed to do with it whatever I want. If I want to use my own solution for controlling it, hosted on my own server, I should have every right to do so. Fuck corporations and their shitty cloud solutions.

But kde2nix is archived on GitHub? And it doesn't have any instructions in the README, it just says "Merging into Nixpkgs: NixOS/nixpkgs#286522". How do I actually use it, what do I have to put in my configuration.nix file?
