This deadline wasn’t some unknown thing suddenly sprung upon energy companies, this deadline has been known about for a long time, why have they left it this late? Were they just expecting the government to keep extending the deadline?

I can’t believe I threw away my Dreamcast. I’m such an idiot.

Infuriating that this isn’t the standard everywhere.

Surprised the EU hasn’t looked into it, even. The default behaviour to use proprietary MS formats is clearly intended to damage competitors by reducing compatibility.

I’d call that a textbook case of abuse of dominant market position. How is it any different to Google doing crap like preferring their own products in Google searches?

You: genocide is just when you kill or sterilise ethnic groups

Me: that’s not the definition of genocide, it’s more broad than that.

You: um ackshully it turns out the definition of genocide isn’t strictly ethnic groups, nor is it only killing or sterilisation

You literally proved me right. No harm in admitting that I was right and you were wrong. There’s no need to get upset about it and sling insults around.

You are forgiven for being wrong. It’s no big deal.

Cheaper.

I never said whether it did or didn’t. I only said your definition is wrong.

Don’t try to take some quasi-victory out of this.

I’m just telling you the facts.

but only providing instructions for… what, fedora and rhel?

Yes, what, did you want me to provide instructions for everything under the sun? Look at what I wrote, I said “or whatever”, I.e. or the equivalent commands on another distro.

And saying that running your package manager from the command line is to “feel like a hacker?”

Lmao you’re just confirming you’re trying to bait people here.

Fun fact there’s a range of distros that don’t have proper UIs for their package manager

Ok? What’s your point? You’d only install a distro that leans heavily on the terminal if you’re the kind of person who wants to rely on the terminal. I don’t even know what point you’re trying to make lmao

What exactly do you think is inside of those packages?

It varies. But regardless, that’s a colossally stupid point. Installing random .exe files you find online also executes scripts.

The point you made was that on Linux the way you install programs is to go online and run random scripts. That is objectively a lie, and now you’re backpedaling away from that point.

And you know, Flatpaks do exist and are the standard now.

So you acknowledge you were wrong then? It’s not strictly about killing or sterilisation, not is it strictly down to ethnic groups.

Thank you for proving me right 👍

Genocide refers to the systemic forced killing or forced sterilisation of an ethnic group.

Genocide doesn’t have to be killings or sterilisation. It can be any action with the intention of destroying a group, in whole or in part.

It also doesn’t only apply to ethnic groups.

We’ve been there for a long time.

Broadly speaking, outside of some specific niche workflows, Linux has been pretty easy for a long time, and Windows has a lot of unintuitive stuff that we only think is easy because we’re used to it.

Linux and Windows certainly both have their failings, but it feels like Linux’s generally stem from the lack of full time developers on projects, whereas failings in Windows often feel like a deliberate user-hostile choice.

Updates in Linux are not random third party scripts you find online, why are you spreading this lie?

You go into your app store/software centre and click update. To the user, this is all they see.

If you want to feel like a hacker, or find it quicker, you can open a terminal run sudo dnf update or whatever. That’s still not a random third party script, though.

People can put their energy wherever they damn well please. You can work on Linux phones if you want to.

This is the question that should’ve been asked before it was built and shipped.

Now that it has been, though, any effort to keep it out of landfill and find a use for the hardware is good.

He does. And not one trained on a particularly good model, it has to be said.

Ok, so you meant Lemmy.

The person who asked the question is very well aware they are accessing Lemmy via an internet-connected device.

What does that have to do with asking if you can have a cloud-hosted Immich instance?

Additionally, how does it prove he’s a bot (which you have asserted) or that they’re a shill sent here, which you’ve also asserted?

I don’t know whether you yourself are a bot trained on a very bad model, or whether you’re simply extremely inebriated, because you’re not making much sense.

Get where? Lemmy?

What are you even talking about?

It’s perfectly possible someone doesn’t want to:

• Buy and run a whole separate PC

• Figure out how to install TrueNAS and configure it properly

• Install and configure Immich

• Figure out how to make it accessible outside of their home network while maintaining security

• Come up with an effective backup solution

• Do regular maintenance and replace hardware when required

Why are Lemmy users so incapable of realising others may have different preferences and priorities?

Not everyone can be arsed with the complexity or hours of work the above entails. Not everyone has the money for it.

I self host but I can definitely appreciate why people would prefer going a different route. It’d likely have saved me a lot of money, tbh.

I guess with Labour doing a decent reduction of mass immigration, Reform needs to be ready to spin up a second populist warfront.

Farage will have no trouble getting funding for his anti-environment nonsense, but the UK public will be harder to convince than they were for reducing immigration.

Why is this a thing for US phone networks?

Why do they care whether the ones and zeroes sent/received stay on the phone or not? Data is data. It shouldn’t be any more complicated than that.

Bloody hell, this is a damn documentary.
