Get a grip man.
Get a grip.
Just wanted to stop by and say: nice job Thomas 
I didn’t even notice the joke until I saw the banner here, had to look closely to see all was crooked.
Anyways, I think developers here should get a bit of respect. After all the time you spent improving HA, I think it’s well deserved to have 1000+ people look puzzled at their screens.
You have nothing to apologise for.
I think @thomasloven was very brave to do this!
How many people just randomly install a browser add on because of a YouTube advert or a Social Media “Influencer” recommending it? (Grammarly, Pouch, Honey… what exactly do they all do with your data? Or apps on your phone selling precise location data cough Life360 cough)
I think people should pay more attention to what they actually install or do in general.
I hope people become more cautious from this. Granted Home Assistant is peer reviewed. But is everything else they install, click on, download reviewed?
I also think people need to learn how to search before reporting an “Issue”
“If your frontend looks weird today” Is pinned
We also have the following:
“Is this some sort of weird april fools joke - crooked cards?”
“Items on WEB Pages Slanted”
“What the hell…?”
“Is this April 1st prank?”
Sure there are more…

Of course the crooked cards aren’t anywhere near the same as those examples that I pointed out. but those same thoughts that are being used to blame people for the actions of others here are the same as in those situations too.
I was just trying to use extreme examples to provoke a bit of thought.
Somehow I had a feeling that the post would prompt no self-reflection at all in some people.
Sad. Glass-houses and all.
I’m certain that you will remember that it’s 100% your fault when those “mitigation strategies” end up not being enough and someone takes advantage of you just because you “trusted” a piece of software that failed to protect your “critical” systems because you didn’t fully know what you were using. And since it was completely because of those “choices” you made that you won’t be seeking any type of contrition on the part of those who wronged you.
Probably going to be an unpopular comment but for those of you complaining about this, maybe it’ll serve as a lesson to at least skim release notes before installing something.
I suspect you’re the kind of people that blindly upgrade things and then get annoyed about breaking changes the were clearly documented.
I’m not saying this was a good idea, as it looks like there were some unintended side effects, but regardless, my point is still valid

I don’t believe the april fool’s joke was ever in any release notes. But your point to read release notes is entirely correct.

hahaha. you had me going. I didnt even notice it all day. Then I finally noticed and I was soo confused I immediately started sharing my screen to a friend (who also uses HA) and he’s like how did you even break it like that?? And I was like man I don’t know. I mean i’ve got some custom things going on but I’m pretty sure it wasn’t like that the other day and I havent done any cosmetic changes in a week or two. Took us about 10 minutes before I figured it out. For the record, we thought it was great. I actually made it through my entire day without getting got by anyone today except you so far so congrats on that.
Although annoyed, point taken. I typically do not read release notes and just roll back if something breaks. Not a good habit.
I still feel there was a better way to go about it, as for those of us who are a bit out of our element with this stuff, it was stressful trying to figure out what was wrong.
In the end I had to clear the cache for all my devices to fix it, and even after that I felt like everything was crooked. My tv was crooked, my picture was crooked, my table was crooked, everything crooked crooked slant slant slant.
You really hurt my eyes, and that hurt my feelings.
