I get why there are people that don’t like how some installers do this, but this trope is really turning into the “but I don’t even own a TV” of OSS commentary.

Just use the Docker image if you don’t like it. Or get their appliance which actually supports ongoing development.

I wasn’t even aware this was a supported installation method anymore. If it is, it’s hidden on the site. When was the author’s last experience with homeassistant?

If the answer to cloud enshittification is “I know! I’ll use a different company’s solution instead of this open source project because I want to make an outdated stand against curl|bash” then I think the thought process is misguided.

HomeAssistant has changed officially supported installation methods so much, I personally don't know what's supported. Docker, tarball, installer, their own OS Part 1, etc were all different ways you can run it.

Last I checked, the bare metal pip3 method was "always" going to be supported. So the "Just use Docker" comments ignore this.

The author complains about a lack of product leadership at Phillips, but HA has always been renown for ignoring their users.
