Nobody likes a sucker, especially the kind that fall for fruit tarts like you. I knew there was trouble. I could smell it on the hot evening breeze. Fortunately for me, trouble is my favorite thing… Because I’m Joe Milkshake. I kicked down the door with one swift, decisive motion.

Immich x FUTO Q&A (www.youtube.com)

Short version of this interview is that nothing is changing, other than they’re going to be asking a flat fee “$5-20” for the app, rather than relying on donations. All donation platforms have been closed. However, if you choose not to, as Louis says “that’s between you and your God”....

Flat fee is good. If its subscription I am hoping for forks.

Edit: also, I don’t care what they say they plan to do. In the end actions matter. They can say now its just a small flat fee but 6 months in they can change their mind and make the crappiest micro transaction model they can think of.

Well, if those were “legitimate” ads the OS would have ways of shutting those down.

That aside, anyone thinking that’s the last time they’ll try that shit is oblivous. It will come back, because why not. Only solution is to finally stop using Windows if you can, or at least dual boot.

Same, anything peddling crypto and implying the user may earn it through no actual work being done, is suspicious.

Searx-NG works well enough for me in 90% of cases, may not be perfect yet but if it keeps getting developed it will get better. I love those random redirectors that send you to a random instance, no centralised site you depend on then.

Exactly the same crap as a year ago with Reddit. Just like back then users need to go somewhere else and learn from the experience.

Before people are like eh eh anti-vaxx blabla or ha ha we knew this had side-effects, since this is still a for profit company, this part is quite important:

AstraZeneca said the vaccine was being removed from markets for commercial reasons. It said the vaccine was no longer being manufactured or supplied, having been superseded by updated vaccines that tackle new variants.

This is it. Also given the low quality of the movies production wise you can even rip them at suboptimal settings. I am sure Mom won’t care if she watches her Christian propaganda at 4k or 720p with some visual artifacts.

It will be. We are just not sure yet how because it precisely doesn’t work like reddit or Facebook. But I am sure there are ways to manipulate here too, it may just be more elaborate.

They provided the backup e-mail address

Upon receiving the recovery email from Proton Mail, Spanish authorities further requested Apple to provide additional details linked to that email, leading to the identification of the individual.

Just in case anyone thinks they decrypted mails and handed them over, nope. I hadn’t thought about that “settings” are not encrypted. Guess if you want to stay anonymous you shouldn’t add your private mail address in there as a backup.

RootBeerGuy ,
@RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

But if you use their service for free, you do not have to provide any identifying info. As far as I am aware there is no check what you enter is legit and there is no requirement to supply a backup address. So the whole solution for a user to stay anonymous as much as they can with Protonmail is simply to not enter any identifying info.

Now? Like a few years back already. For me this started to get ridiculous when Paramount pulled all their Star Trek content from everywhere, putting it all in Paramount+, their own platform. I think by now this is partially reversed again.

Add to that its not even the current android version on it. This company does not sound like they will give you updates so a bad availability of custom ROMs is really limiting.

Understandable. I am running it since a few months and there weren’t that many actually. The most recent one is even opt-in. But I get how its cumbersome to check before an update if anything needs adjusting. Looking forward to a stable release too!

You can use it as standalone app to track location at set intervals. But it also has a server app to synchronise to as well. Haven’t used it as such, I only record to a file, but maybe this works for your purpose.

I still like the season, but some of the writing is just so weird.

Like having Tilly instead of Michael finish the race. I know its a throwback to when they practised running in the first season, but its a physical test and Michael is surely in better shape than Tilly. It would have been so easy to get around that by just making Michael drink the water because she can’t take it anymore.

And finally we see why the doc keeps talking about his abuela every second scene he is in this season. She is now a hologram. I am guessing this is setting something up, new tech that reads your mind and makes a convincing hologram of someone you know. Surely that won’t be abused.

The fuck is this. Worldnews first of all? Leave the dude be.

The article itself says it

Finally, it is essential to keep in mind that Pedro Pascal, or any other public personality for that matter, owes the public nothing in terms of their personal life.

Garbage writing. Wouldn’t surprise me if its AI generated. Next!

Don’t Abuse the People We expect FUTO companies to have an honest relationship with their customers. Ideally revenue comes from customers paying directly for the services provided by company.

Good for the Immich guys, but I fear incoming enshittification or a subscription model.

RootBeerGuy ,
@RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

I don’t mind if they are going to charge for it. But since it is selfhosted I hope a fixed price option with maybe still getting some important updates is on the table. If this goes subscription I am out.

RootBeerGuy ,
@RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

I am not sure I understand the issue, are you or are you not wanting to backup those memes? Because in the immich app you can select the folder to backup from, e.g. camera, and in the timeline on my phone in the immich app I only see my camera timeline plus backed up images, but not other folders on my phone.

If you mean they all get backed up from different folders into the same timeline, then yes, that’s a bit stupid. I have a situation like that and what I did was to make a separate account on my immich server just for art I find online I am collecting. Then I don’t upload through the app, although with switching account you maybe could, but instead move those images into that accounts external library. Then share the whole library of that account with my actual account. Then it appears in the shared tab. But I understand that might get too cumbersome.

RootBeerGuy ,
@RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Yeah, but I am not paying for their food, I am paying for the software that I selfhost on my system. With that analogy you can justify subscription for everything in life, since in the end, people gotta eat.

Probably less than a bottle and cans get recycled for aluminium, which probably means the plastic gets burned off.

Careful. You are waking all the people telling you that it isn’t much waste that those power plants produce and its so easy to store it long term.

The same people that likely would oppose a storage like that in their own neighbourhood. I feel often people from outside Germany forget how densely populated it is, it is very hard to find area not somehow close to anyone.

And I would also never trust the promise that this storage next to my home is very definitely going to be so so safe an great.

RootBeerGuy ,
@RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Good for you. Once you actually do that, report back how its going. Its easy to post a statement like that in an anonymous online forum.

RootBeerGuy ,
@RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Mind your language. I can likewise say you only responded to “gotcha” me yourself.

That said, in this case I definitely feel a “put your money where your mouth is” is very much warranted. Because I have not heard of anyone anywhere doing exactly what you are offering. But I knew posting my opinion on this is going to end me up talking about this topic, so that’s all I got to say to you.

Good luck getting your personal radioactive waste storage, would earn you a pretty penny. Best of luck to you!

Downloading/torrenting kids cartoons

Hey all. noob-ish pirate here. Skipping long winded post. I’m struggling to find sources to download/torrent kids cartoons. Some are easy, but I’m looking for paw patrol and it’s scarce on 1337. The more modern stuff and the super popular stuff are a little easier though. Not really any information on the Wiki about this...

RootBeerGuy ,
@RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

I think the ones you are missing are just not pirated somehow, no idea why. I have those same episodes missing and I don’t even get them in English. At least the ones from Season 09 I remember, not sure I got similar missing ones in Season 10. Always thought its because they are not out yet in our language but sounds like they are just not available.

Long press on app icon. Rename. Maybe your launcher does not have that.

And that first screen. You see that a split second when the app starts, if something like this is a problem for you to use the app then you cannot be helped.

I might not like Discovery for the usual parts, but they are doing a lot of stuff really well this season.

Like showing us a helmetless Breen without anyone having any clue. Love the helmet redesign too, I am partial to the old one but it always looked a bit like a duck. All the Breen backstory was quite interesting.

RootBeerGuy ,
@RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

part of me is a little disappointed they didn’t go with the Typhon Pact “there are actually five different species all pretending to be the same Breen” interpretation

That would be suspiciously close to what the Xindi were in Enterprise, so I don’t think that would have been a good idea.
