I read their "why use our fork" page, and it's very obviously AI-written, which causes me to distrust it. As a happy Immich self-hoster, I'm not excited by the idea of switching to a fork written by folks who can't

Probably depends on how you came to the opposite conclusion; if peer-reviewed research showed that outcome, it'd probably be a lot easier than if it was just "I turned out fine." I've read comments that sound just like y

We're commenting on a site run by a Silicon Valley tech start-up accelerator. "Move fast and break things" is the accelerationist way, even if the "things" they break are a stable, functioning social order. As long

Do I get to be the one to make the inevitable joke about GitHub and "highly available"? Or the joke about GitHub's frequent downtime being an effective throttler?

Ah yes, that well-known link between having immense wealth and being characterized by restraint and regard for the well-being of others. That's why Elon Musk is both the richest man in modern history and also the most upright, caring,

>more people will be peaked by the discontent it can sow, I think this is sort of begging the question a bit, in the sense of assuming a specific conclusion is true when asking the question of whether it's true. In particular, I don
