Huh

I don’t use IMDB much, but I’ll keep that in mind.

I’m legitimately interested in why IMBD? Of all websites I think that ones one of the ones I can least imagine needing an app?

Dang if only you could click the “about” link at the top of the page to find a comprehensive explaination of the software…

It says on the page that

As we’re committed not to add paywalls, this purchase will not grant you any additional features in Immich. We rely on users like you to support Immich’s ongoing development.

So this is a purchase which grants you no extra bonus, which is functionally a donation. This is a common practice with software supported by Futo - they offer the software for free, but ask that you pay a good-faith “license fee” for the software anyway to help fund development. I think Louis Rossman has a video about it somewhere, if I remember I’ll link it in an edit when I have time to find it later.

I hate to say it, but ð is likely the wrong character for that sound, you’d be better with þ. Ð is never used at the start of a word, and þ has a long history in English as being used in abbrieviations for words like “the” and “that” (see “uses” in this article https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorn_(letter)). Your use of ð is correct for the Icelandic use of the sound, though, so I absolutely see where you’re coming from.

Unless you’re using the IPA ð, in which case ignore me.

(sorry for the rant, I used to be very passionate about returning þ to common use in English)

I find it very interesting that the vast majority of people saw a red ball. I did too.

::: spoiler

1. red
2. Indeterminate, mostly just an arm
3. shoulder-length brown hair, androgenous body, hidden face
4. Like a rubber bouncy ball you’d get in a party bag
5. wooden, square

Mostly I already knew, but it felt like things were “filling in” as I tried to “remember” the image to answer the questions, especially around the person.

Is this Frutiger Aero?

That group description reeks of “Russian plants placed to make the pro-Palestine crowd look bad” not gonna lie - especially since a pro-Palestinian hacktivist group would have a sum total of 0 reasons to target IA (and be cocky dicks about it)

You know? Doesn’t look like it’s quite there, but it’s the closest I’ve seen by far, I’ll have a good look I think! Thanks for that!

Edit: Tempo has Podcasts, Symfonium does not. Time will tell, but that may be the feature that pushes me over the edge.

Symfonium. There are plenty of music apps, and I’ve used a lot of them, but none combine the UX and functionality that Symfonium offers to anywhere near the same quality :/

Ah great, that could be why a bunch of my photos didn’t get metadata. I’ll look into that, thanks for the tip.

Ooh, might look into that instead, actually. I always love a reason to write myself a little tool, but dealing with Google’s bull makes it much less appealing to me when existing tools can do it for me.

Just gone through this whole process myself. My god does it suck. Another thing you’ll want to be aware of around Takeout with Google Photos is that the photo metadata isn’t attached as EXIF like with a normal service, but rather it’s given as an accompanying JSON file for each image file. I’m using Memories for Nextcloud, and it has a tool that can restore the EXIF metadata using those files, but it’s not exact and now I have about 1.5k images tagged as being from this year when they’re really from 2018 or before. I’m looking at writing my own tool to restore some of this metadata but it’s going to be a right pain in the ass.

I mean, it’s been shown that it’s relatively easy for a big company to control the price of Bitcoin, and there’s nothing more capitalist than wanting to get away from the control of countries and states that might get in the way of making as much profit as possible so, yeah no I’d say hypercapitalist is a valid accusation. Bitcoin was designed to beat the big banks and capitalist status-quo, but I don’t think that we can pretend it succeeded anymore.

Damn dude, they got it to a T. This whole page is a discovery for me, gonna have to go through and listen to all of this.
