No mention was ever made of why anyone would want their life filled with so many damn notifications.
Half of these seem more appropriate for email, and email is already set up to handle them with zero configuration (like GitHub).
Twitter, who cares, that’s a time waster.
Home surveillance stuff is also a waste of time. It is basically entirely ineffective, every petty criminal knows to wear a mask and clearance rates are below 15%.
And putting your sleep logs on your website publicly…really!? Seems like this is just data collection as a hobby with no end goal.

This is very context-dependent. If I lived in a large city somewhere and was often not at home, sure - but I live in a small town and am almost always home. "Home surveillance stuff" notifies me when something unexpected is happening on my property and lets me respond to it personally. The clearance rate for reported crimes is immaterial when you're able to prevent the harm from occurring in the first place.
- aaronpk 3y agoExactly. Even in a relatively dense location, I have a new automation that runs when my cameras detect a person, both blaring a siren outside as well as notifying me in the house. Now about half a dozen times, it has stopped someone from getting farther than a few feet on the property, whereas without it I had people sneaking around looking for unlocked doors.

- dangus 3y agoLots of people enjoy harmful addictions. Not saying this one is, but sometimes it can be helpful to be reminded to consider your goals. I’ve had plenty of projects change scope once someone has told me “why don’t you just do X?”
