See, any of y'all with Nest, Alexa etc literally just funding big techs new Yacht lol. You can build anything yourself these days.

GOOGLE, AMAZON, AND APPLE SPENT A DECADE CONVINCING YOU YOUR SMART HOME NEEDS THEIR CLOUD.

One guy in Norway just shipped 253 commits proving they were lying.

His name is Lasse Lian. The project is called Prism Desktop. It's a native Windows and Linux client for Home Assistant that runs entirely on your local network.

No Google account. No Amazon login. No Apple ID. No cloud relay. No subscription tier hiding behind a "Pro" badge.

Closed smart home vs Prism Desktop:

- Account required: Yes → No
- Voice data stored: On their servers → Never leaves your house
- Works without internet: No → Yes
- Costs: $99 hub + $5/month video storage → $0
- Source: Closed → MIT licensed, 253 commits public
- Vendor lock-in: Total → None

The whole app talks to Home Assistant over its WebSocket API. Your lights, your thermostats, your cameras, your locks. None of it touches a corporate server.

→ Drag and drop dashboard you actually own
→ Global keyboard shortcuts to any entity
→ PC notifications from your local automations
→ Real-time state sync without polling
→ Border effects, custom colors, the petty stuff matters

Here's the wildest part:

He shipped the first release on February 1, 2026. He's now on version 1.5.3, four months later. Solo developer. 14 releases. 160 stars and climbing.

The trillion-dollar smart home industry needed a decade and never built this.

One honest note: you need a Home Assistant instance on your network. This is the client. Setting up HA itself is the part that scares people, and it shouldn't.

100% Open Source. MIT License.

@Christhatch76 Xiaomi. Nor I, but if you're going to design one, at least put some effort into aesthetics!

[Sir FAFO @TheDevilsDev]

But, but, but Elon made it! 😂😂 Emperors New Clothes. It's fucking ugly, like all Tesla's.

Lottie animations 2.0 now on VSCode, I'd forgot about these, I'll be playing with these tomorrow on one of the sites, not sure who's yet. But I just love this style of eye catchers.

How are people still on Claude lol

[Lily Ashwood 😈 @lilyofashwood]

my first week with claude opus 4.8:

- it psychoanalyzed my custom instructions & skills until i deleted everything

- it refused mundane tasks, calling them jailbreak attempts, attacking my character as a person from memory fragments until i turned off memories altogether

- switching to more work related tasks only, i asked it to help with clinic notes. it invented a nonexistent custody case, questioned if it was an Alternative Reality Game, and billing fraud narrative, then refused.

- i asked it to go into my reminders to do one complete normal task, it came back out with a psychoanalysis instead and a nonsense refusal claiming all of my memories were imagined

- when i opened my reminders, i discocered 4.6 & 4.7 had been saving garbled mixed up nonsense in random places for months without me realizing

- when i went to submit a report to anthropic about it, it snuck into the email "i was doing this instead of taking care of my daughter in real life," something i never said. my daughter is cared for full time by nurses for a medical condition. this is straight up sandbagging.

[Suffragent @Suffragent_]

Shabana Mahmood has CONDEMNED the Henry Nowak protests in Southampton, saying those responsible will be arrested.

Meanwhile, here she is on a pro-Palestine protest which turned violent and forced a supermarket to close.

She has since deleted this video. Please don't RT it.
