  • does feel like Linux desktop environments like GNOME and Cinnamon got stuck in 2009 and never evolved past that

    If you think desktops are way not shiny enough, you should see this hammer I have. I’ve had it for decades. It’s old. It’s still got the dumb wooden/metal layout that’s been common for a century or 5. It has no clock, no Ai, no Bluetooth. It’s a fucking relic.

    Piece of stale shit, if you ask me.

    And don’t get me started on this staedler pencil I have.





  • Depends.

    Some I cultivated afterwards - gave some space, and later pitched a “I don’t want to get back together but I miss hanging out. Lemme buy coffee” to usually good effect. If you’re compatible as friends still, it could be a very strong friendship. But you broke up for a reason, so keep that in mind.

    But sometimes you’re really incompatible and a simple friendship isn’t even healthy for you two. That’s okay too.






  • I dearly wish to use and support this app.

    But here’s the thing: containers - like so many other mechanisms - suffer from supply-chain risks due to reduced validation to the degree assumed and required compared to, say, good packaging that integrates with the resident source of truth on a given system. Containers, like so many other risky mechanisms that dates back to CPAN or earlier, cannot exist in a secure environment.

    For those of us working where we can to minimize repair/recovery work through best practice, Immich cannot be run.

    I know there’s a homebrew workaround, but given it’s external to the dev effort it’s a risk that it won’t suddenly work as a reliable update resource; and that risk stymies uptake for us.

    Now, I know I’ve suggested there’s imperfection in a number of favourite technologies and methods, and that’s fine. If downvotes is how you defend these sacred cows, I understand.
