I am a huge fan of immich, been running it for quite a while, it started as just phone photo backup but it’s good enough that I’ve made it my primary photo repository (fully backed up of course). I will absolutely pay for a license but count me as one who doesn’t really like the terminology used.

I would happily put a donated or supporter badge to show off, but the unlicensed just feels a bit wrong. I have no trouble paying for software, especially as useful as immich, but in the enshittifying world we live in, such language gives one pause.

Just like their name, it’s just a slogan. They wrap themselves in flags and bibles and folks fall for it every time.

truth, I feel pressure to buy the things I want because I have no faith I will be able to afford them later. I figure, get it now while I can so that when I can't, I'll have it.

I love the promise of passkeys but it’s been painfully obvious the promises are just wallpaper over the actual intent which is vendor lockin.

what do you expect when you buy a memewagon. f’ing numpties, all of them, everyone involved from elmo down to the buyer.

Yeah, the Supreme Court has sure shown how it’s going to be an impediment to him lately…

back in high school I stuck mine in a hard plastic card case. Wherever it is now that I lost it, should at least be in good shape almost 30 years later.

Truth is, I was never an O’Brien fan, but can’t argue with the logic :)

I’m in my 40’s and never seen that. Excellent childish humor right here that I too can no longer unsee :)

No worries bud, I get the feeling and it’s completely understandable when looking at the current landscape. It’s been an amazingly shitty run of luck for me lately so I’m clinging to hope.

This is why I like shower thoughts, makes for great conversation :)

Incorrect, the hyperloop always had precisely one purpose, for which it likely was pretty successful: https://jalopnik.com/did-musk-propose-hyperloop-to-stop-california-high-spee-1849402460
