you posted this on a open source platform that someone bothered to create.

my chrome even sometimes gives me a winky face “;)”

I don’t think a OS should ever be LESS open about what a user can do. It should be on the user to do their due diligence and have high availability systems setup.

Only reason Linux wasn’t affected as much was luck. this could just as easily have happened to Linux systems if the broken update targetted Linux.

We (this community especially) criticize windows for not being more open like Linux, and all of a sudden we’re saying it should’ve been more like Apple?

I don’t remember much about plex photos, but facial (and object) recognition, photo map, easy sharing through albums (without the other person needing an account), and being open source are some features I imagine plex photos does not have.

it seems barebones still, because it is a very young app, and the UI is not great, especially on mobile.

It is the best replacement for Google photos that I have seen though.

+1 to immich

However, because of the fast dev cycle, it has a lot of breaking changes, and needs regular maintenance (most notably for me, postgres docker changes. Especially if you are not giving it it’s own postgres instance and using their provided docker compose.)

You could stay pegged to a single version, but the mobile app also doesn’t have full backwards compatibility with server versions, which results in a slew of other problems (how do I do a fresh install of an older app version on a new device?)

But if you are willing to keep up and perform semi-regular maintenance, immich is great, and the rapid dev cycle means more new features faster!

Can’t wait for self-replicating scam bots

nothing is legally due, Sony more than likely has clauses in their ToS that say they can remove access to content for whatever reason.

Morally fucked up, but legally fine.

The inflation is inflating

I live in Canada.

around 65% of people are lactose intolerant, with the vast majority of them being of European descent.

Lactose intolerance is the norm. Most people outside of Europe (and colonized by Europe) are lactose intolerant. Y’all have superpowers as far as the rest of the world is concerned.

You could easily avoid this by just changing your DNS server to something hosted outside of Italy like Google or CloudFlare right? Seems trivially easy to circumvent, for someone who’s already going out of their way to pirate media.

Hunting and killing methods have been improved to ensure as little harm to the whales as possible.

Apart from the … hunting and the killing.

All the suggestions here are good for a complete beginner with no knowledge of coding, but I wanted to just add that once you get some experience and are more confident with your google-fu, I would suggest looking at the problem from the other side, and look for things you want to improve in your life first, and find ways to do that with code, rather than the other way around. It will help you stay more engaged with your project, and you’ll retain more knowledge.

i.e. I hate guessing which parking lots around my school / office / apartment are full every day -> make a web scraper that scrapes parking lot occupancy and compiles it all in one place

or

I keep forgetting to water my plants -> hook up a raspberry pi to a solenoid, and code up something to water the plants for you

I’ve found that to be a much better approach than going the opposite direction

i.e.

I need to learn how to write embedded code -> write an Arduino control loop that keeps dog bowl topped up.

While I agree that Pycharm is a much better IDE for python in general, I would argue that vscode is a better learning tool, as it doesn’t abstract away things like virtual environments, pip, and packages.
