@ironicbadger@techhub.social sorry but this comes across as "old man yelling at cloud." It was a small change that better describes what they are. Move on. BTW. Love the new podcast!

  • @mcsurl@mastodon.social @ironicbadger@techhub.social that's how most complaints to Homeassistant changing things sound like, because there's a lot of old men among us. I'm in the chorus for this, "app" is a cursed term. But it's not the end of the world.

    @ironicbadger@techhub.social @mcsurl@mastodon.social Sorry to disagree, but for a newcomer like me namechanges like that (same goes for changes in the menus) are mostly confusing! Much documentation was written before the change, and is not being adapted...

    @mcsurl@mastodon.social I am older than I was, it’s true. I think my frustration comes from essentially someone else reorganizing my stuff when I get no say in it - and no I don’t always read the release notes in microscopic detail either. Ya know this issue isn’t exactly the most important thing in the world. But it did cost me 2-3 mins of cognitive dissonance last night when installing a simple, routine add-on (which they have been called for 7+ years at least btw). I’m not actually mad, you understand. But I do think the HA devs need to start treating certain things as essentially immutable given the age of the project and its importance in people’s lives.
