Immich has an app that just needs to connect to an Immich server, which this would effectively be. It does the background sync, though I don't think it does the delete part.

Thank you for that -- the workaround for multiple users sharing a set of photos plus their own stuff is the one thing that's kept my family away from adopting it.

Why?

Just so they could penalize it, obviously.

You are absolutely right.

This thing is a tome. And I like it like that. Functions as a nerdy coffee table book when not in use.

Think you’re begging the question with that final phrase.

Ha, well thank you for giving me a much less painful SOAP experience than the usual one back in the 2000s. I’d first used it with .Net 1.1 or 2.0.

Oh very much so. By the time I finally got to a hazardous waste day early enough to make it tolerable, the milk crate full of various poisons and extremely flammable toxins I had would have put low-level terrorist orgs to shame. I might as

Well, I'll be damned, we finally did something smart in our state legislature. This definitely feels like a "The worst person you know made a good point", but that's me assuming Jason Osborne was in favor.

Clearly you never worked in soap. The whole idea was “web services but not easy”.

My favorite line, especially as an American because I can say it out loud without the person getting upset since they have no frame of reference. And other Anglophiles I could probably handle.

It’s been a long time since I had to work in SOAP. Does https://soapy.sourceforge.net/ atill work? That would make things easier to automate if so. This is awesome work.

This is the same as being mad at sports fans for complaining about the owners. No one would be anywhere near twitter, especially since it got covered in Elon’s ketamine cologne, if not for the users. Thinking the corporation profiting from

I would suggest that last line is both wildly indulgent and dangerous. Inventing reasons why someone being completely wrong is actually helpful is a level of freedom no one really deserves.

I love that and want to know what that voice sounds like. Also I want to add some Claremont era flourish to my response, ja?

Yeah, I went with just the Safe settings for now as I am leaving for the week and didn’t want the rest of the house to have to fix something.

I am not lumping everyone in, more observing we are still amplifying the signal from radio stations that should have ceased broadcasting years ago.

Sure, but it is that Christ, Buddha or any of the other incarnations of the same idea? I am right there with you, believe it or not, but don’t John 3:16 the wrong football game.

That last line needs a lot of workshopping. A guillotine with instructions on the bottom of the blade conforms to your request.

“ believe that AI could cure most major diseases in the next 5–10 years,” I do not have the least bit of idea how disease works but I am sure the hammer I am working on will nail it all. If your famously atemporal agents can solve disease,

“ I have worked on AI for the last twelve years because I believe it could dramatically raise the quality of human life” there you go. What if an utter idiot had done and said that? First, is it impossible to believe an idiot who didn’t nee

I think it gets easier if you stop conflating getting investment with having a goddamn clue or a moral backbone. Occam’s Razor for this dude, Sam Altman, or anyone else: if I said, “some moron on a a street corner just said …” would that ch

I have a new theory as of this moment. Elon Musk, Paul Graham, Steve Yegge and now, sadly John Carmack. Your average hacker scoffs at the idea of religion or faith, but somehow is comfortable with complete unquestioning fealty to whichever

Because someone profits from it. If your man had truly embraced Zen after, y’know, becoming wealthy enough to never need anything, it feels like freedom from want would have come pretty easy. Instead we have to find our examples in poor peo
