  Syncing to all of my household’s phones was one of my main requirements. So far its working, maybe its been recently updated.

  In my mobile app, I can select a photo > edit > crop, and get rotate options there. Does that do what you’re looking for? I can’t confirm right now since I’m not home and haven’t exposed it beyond my home network yet, and haven’t tried it from the web interface. I agree though, as I continue to use it, rotating will be a common use case and I’d hope it handles it gracefully.

  Brand new Immich user here. Love the project and I hope it goes far!

  Also maybe I’m not understanding, but the two complaints about it so far in this thread are not being able to sync photos to a phone and not being able to rotate photos and, I’m pretty sure I can do both?

  4/10, not for the unique tines but for the bulbous and tapered handle. Not as comfortable to hold and use as your standard fork.

  There was a PBS Spacetime video that entertained making the solar system into a spaceship - I think it was this one:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any bots that we can use to mirror posts from subreddits?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  They exist. In some communities they may work but IMO a lot of times they hurt community engagement, since no one really wants to reply to an autogenerated OP or join a community that’s a wall of empty bot posts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you read analog clocks to the exact minute? How do you do this quickly?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Memorize visually how far into a new minute marker the hand is when a new minute ticks over. So the moment it switches from 9:22 to 9:23, is the hand directly over the line, or maybe aligned on the left edge? Then use that as a mental model for future comparisons

  I do 1 dollar per drink at a bar and 20% for table service by wait staff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plex server patching required⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly the primary reason is some specific device support, eg. my TV has a built in Plex app but not a Jellyfin app, so switching also probably involves new hardware. I also couldn’t get Jellyfin to work with another TV using Chromecast, but I’m getting rid of that anyway.

  Otherwise, maybe you can update me on these since it’s been a few since I last tried Jellyfin, some of the things that come to mind are:

  • Smart collections & playlists
  • Skip intros and credits
  • Overall slick UI
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plex server patching required⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I still use Plex because I have a lifetime pass from many years ago and Jellyfin isn’t yet as feature-rich and accessible on all of my family’s devices.

  I expect to someday migrate fully to Jellyfin once Plex is enshittified to the point is being a worse experience, but that hasn’t happened yet (with the Plex pass anyway)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Standing desks are like gym memberships. Plenty of people (and offices) pay for them but never use them⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Every desk in my work office is a standing desks. A handful of people use them, the rest don’t. And personally I believe that’s enough to justify buying them all.

  So even if youre right that a majority are unused, I disagree with the implication that they are a waste.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Age verification and the enshitification of streaming will help reduce the decline in computer literacy in under 18s⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh boy, sound blaster. As much of a pain getting everything to work back in the day was, I’m also nostalgic for it.

  Anyway, generational lines are always blurry. I always find myself identifying with things defined to be part of the generation before or after mine anyway. I would call myself a “90s kid”, being born in the 80s, but I count that as an older millennial.

  We got our first family computer when I was in grade school. It didn’t even have Windows, just DOS. So I first learned the command line. When we later got Windows 3.1, we didn’t have a mouse, so I learned to navigate the OS with keyboard only (to this day I have a preference for keyboard navigation). By the time I was in high school I knew how to code, build a computer from parts, etc. And started my life as a pirate with Napster.

  My sister is a younger millennial, born in the 90s. By the time she was actively using a computer I think it was probably on XP. She probably wouldn’t know what defragmenting is or how to format a drive. But she didn’t have to learn that stuff.

  As a millennial in general it seems we are the only generation who know how computers work as a rule. We had to help our grandparents and parents generation with every technical problem, and figured the kids of the future would surpass us. But now I have play the same tech support role for my kids generation, because they never learned that stuff either.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Age verification and the enshitification of streaming will help reduce the decline in computer literacy in under 18s⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Actually, as an elder millennial, I believe we are far more computer literate than young millennials.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Co-op climbing game PEAK is a truly great time with friends⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I disagree with the other commenters. The game is a blast with friends and smooth in gameplay. The controls are easy and predictable, and everyone I’ve played with has picked it up very easily, even those who aren’t heavy gamers. If you are in a poison cloud its because you stepped on the brightly colored people poison plants.

  This and just work on being confident in yourself regardless of anyone else. If you can be comfortable in your own skin, it will naturally be attractive VS trying hard to prove yourself
