Mozilla grants Ente $100k
  • Yeah I honestly agree. Memories is a vast improvement, so much so that it should just be the default at this point. I went so far as to get a menu customizer addon to just remove Nextcloud Photos as an option. I feel like it puts off new users more then helps anything.

    I'm glad there's other options like the OP link, but I seriously enjoy Memories / Nextcloud for hosting it on my own hardware. Very little maintenance, has an app. Uploads from my phone whenever I plug it in to charge. Basically more than enough feature parity with Google photos that I could finally dump that mess. :)

  • My gosh, you're right. They always say "In my professional medical opinion" or "within a reasonable degree of medical certainty"...I always found it reasonable wording because we're indeed a litigious society and nobody can be 100% certain...

    ... But is a major function of that paradigm just to allow the likes of insurance companies or random senators to say "That's just like, your opinion, man" at them? :|

    (Effectively: "The Lebowski Shutdown " maneuver)

  • "Weak men create hard times"
  • Thanks for this insight, seriously. Because of course, it sounds really scary, and we all know which side of the fence relies most heavily on fear based rhetoric.

    The "common sense" logic feels sound, but you're right that it's deceptive, and trying to use some "system" to both read the future AND use it to scare everyone into thinking it's doomsday every week? When you think about it, gee, that HAD to be a fashy business fund manager idea lmao.

  • Hang on there. Yes, NextCloud photos is kinda a dump, not gonna lie. Do not like.

    But Nextcloud Memories is a labor of love, and it's been freaking AWESOME. A little bit of Docker knowhow and the NextCloud AiO image is a great combo.

  • It's amazing how low on the ladder American doctors' opinions are!

    Far below politicians, bosses, and most of all insurance companies, who, as we all know, possess way more hands on medical training. (is /s even needed!? Lol)

  • Workday wellness check
  • Yeah, not to mention the anxiety of "If I don't satisfy them with some answer now, they're gonna drag me into a 'little talk for a moment' later that'll feel like an interrogation."

    I think we really need workshops on training and resilience on how to talk to bosses and not break under pressure.

    Lord knows these sociopaths have plenty of "management training" on how to coerce, intimidate, and interrogate employees!

  • Yeah there's absolutely this feedback loop conditioning where nobody tells us this. And even if we know it, actually putting it into practice is such a mountain.

    I'm vehemently anti-authoritarian, but damn if the "yield to authority" conditioning isn't shock-collaring me every time some douche in a suit wants to talk to me like I'm a child in trouble.

  • The Benefits of World Hunger
  • That'd be a banger title actually. Nice job! The concept of "benefitting from world hunger" is still bizarre enough for a doubletake, but doesn't instantly piss off 99% of potential readers by headline alone lol.

  • Mandatory Boomer post
  • This is excellent. Thanks for the insight!

    I liked a lot about Skyrim, minus the "hand to hand is a minigame now" thing, and basically how it's almost intended to make an omni-character who can just start dipping into any skills and be good at them, without much reward for a thought-out build.

    That and magic...dual-magicking was cool, except it just turned into "Why wouldn't you always use two of the same spell!?" and combining elements wasn't a thing. . .

  • The Hated One - "Ai Will Wage Wars Over Water"

    The Hated One has been pretty solid in the past regarding privacy/security, imho. I found this video of his rather enlightening and concerning.

    • LLMs and their training consume a LOT of power, which consumes a lot of water.
    • Power generation and data centers also consume a lot of water.
    • We don't have a lot of fresh water on this planet.
    • Big Tech and other megacorps are already trying to push for privatizing water as it becomes more scarce for humans and agriculture.

    ---personal opinion---

    This is why I personally think federated computing like Lemmy or PeerTube to be the only logical way forward. Spreading out the internet across infrastructure nodes that can be cooled by fans in smaller data centers or even home server labs is much more efficient than monstrous, monolithic datacenters that are stealing all our H2O.

    Of course, then the 'Net would be back to serving humanity instead of stock-serving megacultists. . .
