@ironicbadger@techhub.social ugh, I hadn't noticed this yet. I agree. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

@ironicbadger@techhub.social 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?

@ironicbadger@techhub.social home assistant is really useful but i can't shake the feeling that the devs think no–one is using it — or that it doesn't matter

@ironicbadger@techhub.social anyone who has ever had to tech support non-tech people has experienced that renaming everything to be an „App” is … not exactly a good idea, to put it friendly.

@ironicbadger@techhub.social They need to put a clear border between things they are responsible for and things they are not. It seems too much people blaming #homeassistant for failures and issues which are caused by Apps. I understand your point. I'm with you with the new position of "developer tools". Makes sense from HA side, but my musklememory scrolls always down in the menu. But I've heared there is a shortcut for it...

@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!

@ironicbadger@techhub.social It’s unusable for Joe Public, software that changes so much so often for no good reason is just bad. I ran it for a few years, and found that even with my relatively simple setup, it would need a few hours a month of faffing to get it working again after an update. End up, I gave up on it and migrated to Homey Self Hosted Server. It just works. It did everything I used HA for. It doesn’t blow up monthly. Wife has forgotten it exists, because stuff just does what it should. I run Homey SHS on a Mac Mini M2, with a Homey Bridge doing the Zigbee and Z-Wave.
