It's the classical playbook. Capture the media, declare the opposition illegal, bye bye democracy.
The public was sold this Nazi story about the AfD by the established powers to keep them down. Looking at what has been going on it's wild to me to call the AfD authoritarian compared the the Altparteien...
One of those empty words one needs to be careful with it does not mean anything, and everything. Politics is not about suppressing ideas of other people, somethings parties can agree on others not so much.
The AfD are ultra right and leading figures have openly admitted that they contemplate killing migrants, de-islamification of Europe by expelling all muslims, breaking the EU, etc. They also scatter their speech with fascist dog whistles, and even Nazi slogans from the man in charge, Björn Höcke [1].
Paid users only would probably push it in the right direction. It is unfortunate that the internet has moved into everything is advertising as a business model. I get the appeal but cognitively paying so I can keep my attention seems like a way better model.
My assumption had always been Tony Robbins is a maniac snake oil salesman. Turns out I might be way off. The podcast with Theo Von is worth a watch and the Standford paper is surprising to me. What's your experience?
If you just want it to work you can use ESPHome which means you barely have to code at all. There are software modules for a lot of the standard hardware components. It's arduino plug and play.
I've built a device that times my espresso machine and controls the grinder. I build a 4x wifi socket just because it was fun. Getting high quality temperature and humidity values or co2 is unbelievably easy, cheap and fun.
Coupled with Homeassistant you can spend a lot of time and have a lot of fun. I did at least.
Have you looked into CPTSD? Some people are able to hold it together for a long time but eventually the mind starts to fray and focussing becomes almost impossible because the chaos catches up with you... or me in that case.
I think genetics are completely misunderstood. I also have serious Narcissism in my family and to me it very much looks like that's the world view you learn if that's how it's demonstrated to you as a small child. Small children have no filter on inputs also. If dad isn't around because mother is unbearable and she lives a narcissistic reality it becomes the water that you swim in. I don't think there is genetic code that determines that you think other people are to blame for everything!
Random theory: Children of narcissists like IT because it's a world that is very predictable with rational explanations.
There is an export option for HipChat so if you could write an importer for that the migration would probably be straight forward. We also have customers who insist on having control over their data so we are looking into mattermost as well.
