- Comment on Immich mobile app sync V2 1 week ago:
Yes, you can. You can share an album and collaboratively each add to it or you can share the entire library and take photos directly out of theirs and add to a new album. So I believe you can accomplish what you want. Just tested it with my wife and I’s accounts.
- Comment on Immich mobile app sync V2 1 week ago:
Immich is great. The iPhone app is not trustworthy with syncing photos and always freezes. It will get there eventually, if you have the patience for crashes on the iOS app. In fact, for the last week the app just hangs on open, which usually means I need to re-install the app and all that. I have a large library of over 60k photos/videos and an older phone, which doesn’t help. Despite these issues, it’s still great. Every other feature works flawlessly. I haven’t tried this new update but I am hopeful and glad they are pushing forward with cleaning up syncing!
- Comment on Should you copy a person's accent when pronouncing their name? 1 week ago:
If you get the chance, don’t be afraid to ask. People are usually pretty clear on what they will respond to, if asked. If the accent or name is too hard, you can work with them on a compromise nickname that’s easier for you and that they agree to.
- Comment on Looking for a simple personal homepage 2 weeks ago:
Have fun picking through the many options, haha. I just figured out Ghost (open source blogging platform) but it can easily be edited with static pages. It is basic but I am okay with the functionalities and ease of use
- Comment on What do you think is the best (and cheapest) way to host a new nextcloud instance and website for my local scouts organisation? 2 weeks ago:
Do you think “alright kids, meeting is officially over. Go home or get call your parents. If anyone wants to stay we will be hanging out and teaching server stuff at ____ ‘s house for an hour or two.” Gets around this?
- Comment on Big Surprise—Nobody Wants 8K TVs 4 weeks ago:
There is also a 17k blackmagic coming out! The high resolution sensors they use aren’t a standard RGB pixel layout though so it’s not a great direct comparison. Like you said though, there’s no pipeline or good workflow for 8k in the slightest. Will take years if the industry decides to push for it
- Comment on Sheepish 4 weeks ago:
Sheep do tend to be wary and to run away when approached by someone. Seems pretty sensical to me
- Comment on Big Surprise—Nobody Wants 8K TVs 4 weeks ago:
I am a filmmaker and have shot in 6k+ resolution since 2018. The extra pixels are great for the filmmaking side. Pixel binning when stepping down resolutions allows for better noise, color reproduction, sharpened details, and great for re-framing/cropping. 99% of my clients want their stuff in 1080p still! I barely even feel the urge to jump up to 4k unless the quality of the project somehow justifies it. Images have gotten to a good place. Detail won’t provide much more for human enjoyment. I hope they continue to focus on dynamic range, HDR, color accuracy, motion clarity, efficiency, etc. I won’t say no when we step up to 8k as an industry but computing as a whole is not close yet.

Isn’t efficiency just getting closer and closer to a perpetual machine? Using science and the physics to the absolute limit!
- Comment on Taco Bell rethinks AI drive-through after man orders 18,000 waters 5 weeks ago:
I live near an AI Taco Bell. It works pretty damn well and is a lot easier to understand. There is still a cashier, they just don’t have to be on the mic the whole time. Although, the t-bell near me also seems to almost entirely ESL inside. It’s quite a bizarre experience end-to-end but they will certainly not back down. I’m not saying I support it but it’s certainly one of the less evil AI implementations?

- Comment on Incident 1 month ago:
I also think it’s dystopian but it is quite helpful information to know when they were fed and/or napped. If you pick up your child and they are unusually hungry or tired, etc it can be helpful. I doubt the caretakers have time to talk to each parent or they change shifts. Paper forms are popular at less fancy places
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Telling a 22 year old he can’t object and the sentiment of “fine, I’ll find girls for you” comes across to ME as harsh and demeaning. If my father or a fellow adult texted me like that, I would feel demeaned and that the language was a bit harsh and could be softened. Thanks for your opinion!
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
His communication is harsh and demeaning towards you but he seems to be trying to help and care for you. All he knows is the life he has lived, sometimes people have a hard time imagining what you’ve gone through. Do what you want! I wouldn’t be too embarrassed. Parents and loved ones have helped each other out throughout all of time. Like others have said, just be polite and close the relationship if it’s a bad match!

Imagine the shear amount of waste that guy helped put on the planet! A few spots away from a real life villain!
- Comment on YSK about Changing your Profile Picture to Clippy 1 month ago:
This reminds me of old “solidarity” profile picture filters that came out after the Arab Spring and later for France. Solidarity was cool but 2 clicks and a picture that doesn’t amount in any significant action or real participation and is VERY ignorable by people above the line. News media will easily spin it into whatever narrative they want as well

People don’t go to concerts to look at the audience. If anyone has a problem they are a gate keeping moron.
- Comment on Gamers Bombard Visa & MasterCard With Emails and Calls Over Steam and itch.io Censorship 2 months ago:
I support this but I find it fascinating the steam this can build and quick activism with guides and yet I never see any of this stuff when it comes to political policies

You are completely correct and their comments prove it. The bubble is strong here. But it’s a pretty nice bubble

For me, knowing my spouse’s location is just convenient for knowing ETA without bothering her. It’s not really about trust at all

What the actual Batman fuckery is this. I hope you are wrong or nobody is that motivated to do such things. Either way, scary! Where’s my tin foil hat?

Minnesota, here. New parent. Can confirm! The full on DNA test is optional. Parents can make informed decisions and prepare for new lifestyles of supporting a kid that’s differently abled.
