If your dashboard looks a bit wonky today
Update card-mod.
I’m sorry. I thought it seemed like an innocent and fun idea, and I was wrong.

I wait until midnight here, to click on the “update” button then 
PS: thou i haven’t noticed any changes, other than those i tried to “compose” my self 
It may be worth it.
I’m sure it will, all good “candies” comes from you
@thomasloven
PS: i noticed 1 of my cards “Tilted” 
I can see both sides here. Given it didn’t affect me (In the US here) I think it’s pretty funny and love the humor - but also agree if it’s causing people grief, maybe less than ideal. Regardless - love that you’re keeping HA ‘fun’ and love also all your contributions. Thx for all the hard / great work @thomasloven!
Reminds me of “back in days” at the IT-University i worked, on all PC’s in the “technicians classrooms” ( with NT 3.5 ) i threw up a Fullscreen html(no mouseclick) with a “Bluescreen” pic … when they locked in one morning

It’s not April yet here, but even if it were, I’m always on board with a harmless April Fools joke.
Will I get to see this tomorrow (UTC -5), or will it be gone by then?

If you don’t update to 3.1.4 you’ll get to see it.
There seems to be some performance issues I did not foresee. I’m doubly sorry about that.

I thought it was clever (though am not encouraging it). Didn’t notice any performance issues. Also a timely reminder that things like this and worse happen:

Any way to let the rest of us who aren’t “in the know” in on the “joke”?
Crooked custom cards.
I could load up the old version and take a screen shot but it basically put a small random rotation on everything to make it look “wonky”.
Yeah, I just read the new thread where someone posted a screenshot right after I posted that.
That was kind of funny…but I can see why people might be miffed too.
definitely a “long-con” on that one.
Irony is that the recently implemented code-signing feature cannot trap this kind of gag (i.e. via custom cards).
If nothing else, it served to demonstrate how quickly and transparently one can distribute code to a large number of users …

The fallout of this is not going to be good. I feel sorry for all involved and all who experienced issues and waisted time troubleshooting, like myself.

regarding the war
Btw, I am not sure that these methods are good for people in Russia to change their minds. Most of “believers” are hopeless (even if they PCs). I live in Russia, btw.
I was not going to start any discussion about the war here; if anyone wants to discuss - I am open for it via PM or in a “Social” section of the community. With a potential risk to be jailed in my country.

No. They are most definitely not. It was a totally misguided and inappropriate action that actually harmed a relief organisation.
There’s a thread in the Home Assistant Off-topic Discord channel if you would like to discuss Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Lets not sidetrack this topic.

This is how I saw it. As soon as I opened my HA this morning and saw it go wonky I knew it was an April fools thing.
