I irrationally hate the South: its music, its culture, its history, and its people.

This is tragically unfair of me and I admit that I'm embarrassed that I haven't quite shaken myself of that, but I will keep trying

That said, I'll listen to Johnny Cash all day every day

I have decided that it is safe to assume that everyone is an idiot, including me, and behave accordingly: act deliberately with an open mind, making no assumptions, and remain curious.

Frank Herbert's Bene Gesserits had a tenet in which they remained mindful of the naivety of all people, including themselves, ostensibly to prevent allowing hubris to allow poor decisions.

Coming back around to my point: I think we'd all get along a lot better if we'd all agree we're all stupid, but we can get better.

I've had some of those and also some of the proprietary Tuya ones. The module has the same footprint so I ordered some ESP32 modules in the same form and used a hot air rework station to swap them. The modules are really cheap so I still come out ahead price-wise.

I was about the question how the ADA would apply to websites but then I bothered to check. I am surprised at how broadly the DoJ applies the "businesses open to the public" definition.

I think this is a good thing but I wonder at what threshold do they enforce this. If I decide to self-host some wiki on the most esoteric lore behind the game of Lemmings for my audience of six people, can I be fined and/or forced to shut down because my website doesn't adhere to the ADA guidelines for website accessibility? Because I'm an untalented hack who can barely stand up an instance of WordPress I am not allowed to publicly present anything on the internet?

I'm sure there is nuance to this but I couldn't find it. I'm not being hyperbolic either, I'm genuinely curious. I feel like this is the cops shutting down a 10 year old's lemonade stand because they don't have a license or health certificate. (Shaky analogy but you know what I'm driving at.)
