Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts?

Immich might not be better yet in every aspect than Google photos, but I was blown away by how much better face detection and grouping works. I cannot believe how ridiculously bad that feature is in Google, you just have to pray that it works, and if it messes up, it’s extremely annoying to fix. In immich, it works exactly as you’d expect.

Didn’t google’s recognition thing accidentally put pictures of black people under the gorilla category?

Never tried Google’s face detection, but given that their search AI told people to eat rocks daily, I’m not surprised. Yeah, Immich looks great. I need to set that up soon, trying to set my old laptop with docker

  I’m also looking forward to trying Immich, but I’m slowed down because I decided I should learn podman and use that instead of docker!
  
  I do a lot of photo organising myself with file structure and timestamp filenames, but it looks like I can have Immich see my ‘proper’ library of files, and for the family it’s hopefully a helpful tool.
  
  Does anyone know how well the iPhone app works? I had problems with the next cloud app, which otherwise was great for connecting my general web of tech with an iPhone.
