So the final thing tethering me to macOS is Apple Photos, which is really a fantastic program.
PhotoPrism looks like it’s improving quickly, but I was curious to know how it’s going today with regards to:
- Search filters
- Date
- Place
- Object/person recognition
- Text recognition
- Live Photo support
- Ease of importing
- Album support, including smart albums
- Built-in touch ups
- General stability
I remember HATING clothes for Christmas. But now it’s all I want (so long as it’s my style). I don’t want random useless shit at Christmas, I want stuff I can use for years and wear out.
Thank you for reminding me of this one! I keep forgetting to try it out
Isn’t it fortunate that we have robust user-centred privacy frameworks to protect people from corporate overreach. 🙃
FHS is an absolute dumpster fire that would never be dreamed up in this day and age
I’d agree with this. When I first started using Excel in school and university, I’d follow the instructions and not really know why I was doing what I was doing.
But then, having to work with Excel at work and make it do new shit, the penny dropped in my head and I understood how spreadsheets worked.
I use spreadsheets for heaps of things now, even if I don’t need to use formulas. Excel has some weird idiosyncrasies but it’s a good product overall. It’s not as bad as Word, which most people use incorrectly.
Exercising. When I hit 30, my metabolism wasn’t what it used to be and my appetite didn’t slow down to match. To stay a good weight, I decided either I’d have to eat less or exercise more. I chose the latter.
I formed the habit through the pandemic, but in the time since I’ve strengthened it further. I run, swim, and ride.
I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been and exercising during the week is just part of my routine. I think I’ve baked it into my life enough now that it’s here to stay.
I mean, Cunard does transatlantic sailings with the QM2, but your environmental impact for doing so would be high. Your impact would be far lower (per kilogram) if you did travel passenger on a cargo ship.
I forget who said it, but:
There are four types of economy.
- Developed
- Developing
- Japan
- Argentina
This is the dream. Basically, you stop finding things to add or tweak because everything has settled in to your routine.
I think the issue is Apple guards their wallet so tightly that basically no jurisdiction can get their IDs in it
Surely a court won’t accept Disney taking away its jurisdiction
Ok hear me out. I’ll have a nap and be so glad to fall asleep. But then I get to bed and I’m like nahhhhh I just keep reading or playing this game.
I gotta get better at sleep hygiene 😅
Regardless of how you interpret the statistics, I think that this is a sign that the long vexed problem of software distribution for Linux has been significantly improved. Not quite solved, but for most desktop apps this is fantastic news.
I’ve started using Tree Style Tabs in Firefox and really like it. Maybe vertical tabs aren’t so bad?
SOLVED: it’s Antitrust! Thanks everyone!
It’s a tech related movie came out probably early 2000s.
Bits I remember:
- A group of home brew coders watches a webinar of some large software company.
- One of them gets hired by the company to work on a large project
- The project is supposed to enable content delivery/streaming while overcoming bandwidth constraints, but they’re stuck in development
- Main character is working on the project and is making headway but discovers something nefarious might be going on in the company
- He checks around the place and realises a large mouse sculpture in the company campus playground is actually a hidden satellite
- Using a computer in the children’s daycare room he uncovers the conspiracy
- He manages to finish off the project, and the company thinks everything is fine
- The tech company tests the system and it works perfectly broadcasting everywhere.
- But the guy uses this test to present a montage of all the evidence of the conspiracy. Also uploads the project source code
- Company CEO gets arrested or something, everyone lives happily ever after.
A new taskforce to police how universities are run will be pitched to state education ministers, as figures reveal the extent of corporatisation of university councils.
The long-awaited rail link has survived a federal infrastructure review, setting up a financial headache for the Victorian government which sought to stall the project.
For the same price as just the first stage of the loop, Victoria could have had a dedicated airport rail line and fast train services to Geelong.
Keen to hear people’s thoughts. Personally I think the SRL will change how Melbourne works in ways current modelling won’t consider. That comes at a high cost, but is it too high?
Train is listed as stopping at MCE but the train’s stopping pattern says not.
Australians need to ask whether it’s fair that someone in a $10m mansion pays the same for aged care as someone with a modest home in the suburbs.
