Home Assistant renamed "add-ons" to "apps" recently.

Whyyyyyyyyyy? It's so frustrating that they are still moving stuff around like this.

Guides, documentation, and videos all point at add-ons - and have done for years - so unless you have a _really good reason_, don't change it!

@ironicbadger it's just a mental change for you, personally. Or are you the author of hundreds of those 'how-to' guides and it would mean extra work for you to update the tutorials?
@vague @ironicbadger are you just bored, or do you really not understand the point of his post?
@RichiH @ironicbadger I don't understand the point. Sounds like whining, but I am not neurodivergent so maybe that's the issue that I don't understand

@vague @RichiH @ironicbadger aaaand now *you* sound like an arsehole. might want to work on that.

@fishidwardrobe @vague @ironicbadger my intention was to copy the grammatical style and noticeable detachment from the point which was made in the post before.

That seems to have worked. Not on who I had hoped it would work, but it seems to have worked nonetheless.

@fishidwardrobe @vague @ironicbadger that being said: thank you for taking the trouble of writing this reply.

I do agree with your point about the tone of the message. It was necessary to stay in that character for that specific message

But, as is the problem online, in text the cues get lost and people don't know each other so there's almost zero context beyond the written word

In hindsight, maybe it was futile and wrong to take this approach of trying to show @vague how his post came across

@RichiH @vague @ironicbadger well, it was him i meant when i said "you sound like an arsehole"…
@fishidwardrobe @vague @ironicbadger ah! I saw the notification and not the thread initially. Reading it in the timeline makes it obvious. Well, sorry for the noise. Still, a good reminder that I might need to cushion plain-copy replies a bit on the public Internet.
