It also works on simple objects, not as good as Google yet but good enough for me. I can search for keyboard or bicycle and find pictures that way.

I dumped Google photos for self hosted immich and it’s been great. Not sure if it has the ability to connect to photo frames but if you already self host anything else it’s not too much work to setup.

I think everyone has a sort of ‘social battery’ and I think extroverts just have a bit more capacity than introverts. It’s easy for both to run out, and want some alone time, but it takes less time for some of us.

Playlists, albums, and just the subscription prices. Bundling my price with YouTube premium to make it seem like a deal when I just wanted music and my price was going up. There are still some remixes and things that I can’t find anymore that used to be on my regular playlists. I wish they gave me a little more heads up so I could document some of my playlists. I also purchased albums and Google straight up ripped us off. They should have refunded every purchase we made, or at the very least gave us Google play credit as a show of goodwill, but instead we were told to just try YouTube music, it’s better. Does anybody have a better service for buying books and comics? I really like Google books, bubble zoom is awesome for comics on the go and the syncing between devices is convenient. But I’m so sick of their nonsense, I don’t trust them to not try the same shit with books and I’m reluctant to give them any more of my cash.

That’s too bad. Because I don’t know anyone who’s excited to give YouTube any money at this point. I used to buy some movies from Google once in a while, but after they did the bait and switch with music and movies I don’t trust their media store anymore. It’s clearly not profitable enough for alphabet. How much longer are the assets I already paid for going to be available? When will YouTube decide those licenses aren’t worth continuing? I think consumer trust in Google is probably at an all time low.

This article is just an ad for a cloud storage provider? No technical overview, no mention of FOSS software. It just goes over the service and plans for this one service provider, doesn’t compare to anything else. It’s not news, it’s an advertisement without stating that it is. It mentions affiliate links, but other than that I can’t find any mention of this being a paid advertisement, but there is no fucking way I’m believing that money didn’t change hands here. ItsFOSS just lost credibility with this article, maybe all credibility. Either it’s ‘post-quantum’ and you can prove it, or it’s not. And I’m not buying any ‘trust us bro’ arguments when it comes to encryption, either prove it works or fuck right off.

If I remember correctly MS bought it from eBay. And then promptly did their best job at taking a dump on it. Nothing MS did to Skype was good, disabled encryption by default, removed features, made the network so terrible that they actually make you consider teams. At one point Skype was the only game in town for personal web calls and chats, in the US at least. MS pissed that away, because killing competition and owning patents is more lucrative than creating good products and services.

Word on the street is that MS couldn’t harvest the data they wanted out of Skype, even after turning off the encryption. So they let the Skype team keep on going because of reasons, while silently replacing them with teams.
