- Comment on Promised myself I will support them after they go stable. They kept their promise and so did I 2 days ago:
Immich automatically uploads when I connect to wifi so that’s not really a problem. Nor am I personally concerned with someone MITMing my personal photos, I just want them out of corporate silos that use them to exploit me or hand them over to the gov in a dragnet.

It’s just that good
- Comment on Promised myself I will support them after they go stable. They kept their promise and so did I 2 days ago:
Immich is actually open source.
- Comment on Promised myself I will support them after they go stable. They kept their promise and so did I 2 days ago:
E2EE is definitely important for uploads on someone else’s server. On my server? Ehhh, not so much. The entire drive is already encrypted. Another layer of encryption would just slow it down. Just my opinion.
- Comment on Microsoft seemingly just revealed that OpenAI lost $11.5B last quarter 3 days ago:
this was only possible due to the financial engineering that made lending to these folks posivle
There was no “financial engineering”. It was just fraud.
look at home price values in the sunbelt in 05 vs 2009. TF are you talking about there wasn’t a bubble
“Bubble” does not mean “prices go up and then back down again”.
- Comment on Microsoft seemingly just revealed that OpenAI lost $11.5B last quarter 4 days ago:
That wasn’t a housing bubble, and it had nothing to do with pricing. It had to do with lenders selling mortgages to anyone who could fog a glass, knowing full well they wouldn’t be able to repay them.
- Comment on Microsoft seemingly just revealed that OpenAI lost $11.5B last quarter 4 days ago:
I am talking about companies slapping “AI” on their products and systems and raising their value, in the same way that companies in the 90s slapped “dotcom” on their branding and raised their value.
- Comment on Microsoft seemingly just revealed that OpenAI lost $11.5B last quarter 4 days ago:
What housing bubble are you referring to?
- Comment on Microsoft seemingly just revealed that OpenAI lost $11.5B last quarter 4 days ago:
I knew it was a bubble since Computex January 2024 when Derb8uer showed an “AI PC case”. He asked “What’s AI about this PC case?” and they replied that you could put an AI PC inside it.
- Comment on OpenRazer expands Razer device support with new hardware for Linux users 4 days ago:
If you already have one, this is great. If you don’t have one, don’t get one. Razer has a long reputation for being overpriced and terrible quality. They’re like 90% just a marketing company.
- Comment on Apple is reportedly getting ready to introduce ads to its Maps app 5 days ago:
They literally didn’t say anything about Android or Google…
- Comment on The Weirdest "Car" I've Ever Driven - mkbhd's video about the Aptera EV 5 days ago:
I mean you can doubt it all you want but they have tens of thousands of pre-orders.
- Comment on Battlefield's new battle royale is free-to-play and out now with 100-player matches 5 days ago:
I quite like the genre but it’s been completely overtaken and enshittified by skins and micro transactions to the point that I don’t even look at them anymore.
Nevermind the fact that I have absolutely zero interest in any EA games anymore.
- Comment on The Weirdest "Car" I've Ever Driven - mkbhd's video about the Aptera EV 5 days ago:
Was that before or after the $75M LOC?
- Comment on The Weirdest "Car" I've Ever Driven - mkbhd's video about the Aptera EV 5 days ago:
For many, an “actual electric car” is not what they want.
- Comment on The Weirdest "Car" I've Ever Driven - mkbhd's video about the Aptera EV 5 days ago:
I had one of these ordered for several years. They were originally supposed to start deliveries in 2021. Since then they’ve made several drastic design changes, like the entire chassis, and later the entire powertrain, and released like 8 “production intent” prototypes.
- Comment on Austrian Ministry Kicks Out Microsoft in Favor of Nextcloud 6 days ago:
Seems unlikely. I use both on a regular basis and Nextcloud Talk is way better, as well as being better integrated into the platform. I use both on a regular basis.
- Comment on Austrian Ministry Kicks Out Microsoft in Favor of Nextcloud 6 days ago:
Microsoft Teams remains available specifically for external meetings (read: for people who haven’t moved away from Teams).
Someone should tell them they can invite external people to their Nextcloud Meetings. Or a dozen other FOSS meeting platforms…
- Comment on Threads adds 'ghost posts' that disappear after 24 hours 6 days ago:
So…"stories”?
- Comment on ‘There isn’t really another choice:’ Signal chief explains why the encrypted messenger relies on AWS 6 days ago:
It also creates a single point of attack for any entity seeking to restrict, shut down, or track people’s communications.
That’s what relays are for.
- Comment on Futo updates their website, removing logos, clarifying micro grants 1 week ago:
Their voice recognition is just OpenAI Whisper. Transcribro uses the exact same thing. It’s just not built into a handy key on the keyboard.
- Comment on Stress testing and benchmarking tool OCCT gets an essential Linux fix 1 week ago:
Didn’t even realize this was available.
Picked it up and launched it on Steam. Wouldn’t detect GPU.
DL appimage direct from the site. GPU is detected but there’s no GPU benchmark available.
Go to run CPU benchmark and it won’t run without Patreon subscription.
No option to purchase a license. Lost interest.
- Comment on 16-inch laptop with Blu-ray drive, USB 4 and AMD Ryzen 7: Fujitsu FMV Note A launches 1 week ago:
I have one but it is external and I use it to rip BluRays. Shh don’t tell anyone.
- Comment on Valve Just Crashed The High End ‘Counter-Strike’ Skins Market 1 week ago:
The fact that such a thing as “high end skins” exists continues to astonish me.
- Comment on Horror game Fear the Spotlight is free to claim on the Epic Games Store 1 week ago:
That’s totally cool. I wish I could get past their fucking Cloudflare bot detector. Apparently I’m a bot.

“Professional": Alexa, should I randomly reconfigure the DNS using a Magic 8 Ball?
Alexa: “Wow what a brilliant idea! You’re so smart!” - Comment on Google flags Immich sites as dangerous 1 week ago:
Clearly their run-in with the DOJ and subsequent wrist-slap has emboldened them to new heights of anticompetitiveness.
- Comment on Google flags Immich sites as dangerous 1 week ago:
From the OP:
Google Safe Browsing looks to be have been built without consideration for open-source or self-hosted software. Many popular projects have run into similar issues, such as:
Jellyfin
YunoHost
n8n
NextCloud
- Comment on YouTube will help you quit watching Shorts 1 week ago:
I mean I would argue you shouldn’t be using anything except 3rd party clients. Preferably one that blocks “Shorts” entirely because vertical videos are insufferable and just wrong.
But regardless only like half of users are using the browser so that’s not useful for those people.
- Comment on Google flags Immich sites as dangerous | Immich Blog 1 week ago:
Another way Google exploits their monopoly for personal gain.
Good thing the government identified them as such and….did absolutely nothing about it.
