IVB Posted September 7, 2016 Posted September 7, 2016 Given that the poll originated on reddit, I think its absolutely nothing of value other than "what do redditors and those on forums who've reposted it use". I didn't bother posting on the CQC forums because frankly there is ZERO chance redditors will use CQC. They're up in arms about HomeSeer sale price being $125, they think SmartThings is the next coming of Christ. They're okay with programming in C# or configuring YAML files and having 90% reliability. If I told my wife that 1 in time times the automated rule or doohickey wouldn't work, her immediate response would be "i guess we can't assume it'll work, so we shouldn't rely on it". In which case, why did I even bother making an automated rule or doohickey.
larryllix Posted September 7, 2016 Author Posted September 7, 2016 I have learned by experience that the Internet is a powerful propaganda media. If I write a sentence in WikiPedia in an article, I find myself quoted in thousands of websites within days. I also find wikipedians attempting to quote the articles that are quoting my words, as gospel. Yeah the old cyclic reference where the originator was full of BS. I have seen whole word meaning changed and all traces of the real meaning of a word changed due to this phenomenum. Just post it on wikiPedia and the whole world changes it's thinking. scary stuff. When the medical examiners dig this poll up two years from now, it may show up as the law, who knows where?
Teken Posted September 7, 2016 Posted September 7, 2016 To be fair to the Interwebs it alone has offered so very much to so many people in terms of knowledge, communications, and learning. There will always be those who wish to abuse the technology along with malice intent. Long live the Internet's . . .
