goesselgoldSo the downgrading begins. Swapped my very old but still quite good speakers for only slightly worse sounding but optically better ones and gave the old ones to my son, who will make better use of them. First time I decided that a lesser product will do for my needs.

New Design Trend: People Downgrading 'Smart' Homes to Analog 'Dumb' Homes, Some with Landlines and Offline Appliances - Slashdot
"People are creating 'dumb homes,'" the VP of research at the Global Wellness Institute, tells the web site Axios. Some are swapping NASA-style setups for old-fashioned buttons, switches and knobs. Others are designing digital detox corners — all part of a bigger "analog wellness" movement...

Estelle Platini[…] authoritarian liberals who, once in power, consider resorting to force because they know full well that their policies are unpopular; those same authoritarian liberals who want to form an alliance with the far right, who back down because it wants too much, and finally take a gamble on entrusting it with power…"

irobincI'll start a thread about my experience #downgrading my #smartphone and my conclusions. 2021 I switched from my #Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 to a Xiaomi Mi 11T Pro mainly because I wanted to make use of #5G which was offered by my Provider. The Mi Mix 3 has a 5G model which was China exclusive back then, so I "upgraded". From a 2019 Flagship to a 2021 Midrange Phone. 1/5 #reusereducerecycle

Félicien Breton 🍉 🔻 🌱Concerns over housing and public services were unifying issues. “Young Dutch people cannot leave home because no houses are available, and the few available are too expensive. Wilders wants to fight the lack of housing by stopping immigration”.

Délaissée, l’Europe rurale se tourne vers l’extrême droite
Les partis d’extrême droite sont en passe de remporter une large victoire lors des élections européennes de juin. Le soutien aux populistes est en hausse, notamment dans les communautés rurales, alors qu’une « géographie du mécontentement » balaie le continent.

👾@tobozo Hi, thanks ! Fantastic... but I am in #nixOS and I think I do not have control over the Arduino "core" version ... if I have understood it..
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/tree/nixos-23.11/pkgs/development/embedded/arduino/arduino-core
but in fact #nixOS should be ace at going back to an earlier version... probably a whole #flake saga .... but that is over my head. How to force an earlier version #downgrade of #arduino #arduinocore in #nixOS
A process similar to this but for the package.... whoah...

RoxanneSo I decided to tinker with my old Apple TV HD (4th Gen) a bit by #jailbreaking it with #checkra1n together with #downgrading it to tvOS 13.4.8 (17M61), which is still supported by Apple via iTunes for some reason.
