  • So, I get that Henry Ford was an awful raging antisemite, but calling the Ford F-150 a “swasticar” feels incredibly disingenuous.

    Henry Ford had obviously descended into antisemitic conspiracy theories before issuing his first publications on the matter, but those publications first started in 1920, a year after handing over the Ford Motor Company to his son. By the time the original F series truck was introduced in 1948, Henry Ford had been dead for a year.

    Compare this to Elon Musk actively being involved with the design and production of the Cyber truck and giving a Nazi salute (twice) on stage while actively trying to sell his dream truck.

    Trying to call both the F-150 Lightning and the Cybertruck antisemitic feels like the equivalent of calling people protesting the genocide in Gaza antisemitic.








  • Out of curiosity, is it something as simple as needing to wrap the template in quotes? I may be mixing up my YAML with the Ansible work I’ve been doing, but I think you need to have templates double quoted like this in order to resolve the jinja2 properly: "{{ state_attr('light.etc', 'brightness') }}

    I don’t think you need the quotes in the Templates section of dev tools but you do in YAML files. I could be wrong though, let me know if you try it.

    Definitely use the state_attr() form over states.etc.etc form. I think there’s something about how HA handles startup that may mess with templates if you use states.etc.etc .
