Immich is self hosted and open source. Do I like FUTO and their tech bro approach to open source? No. But in this case, it doesn't matter, because it's not a service, it's not something like Ente.
It's still nothing like what it was promised to be, in fact. Sure, they added a lot of free content, a lot of updates, I'm sure fans are enjoying them... but it's not what was promised as already in the game before launch.
Another fake redemption story is Cyberpunk. They fixed some of the bugs to make it playable, revamped the skill tree, and added paid DLC... cool? That doesn't change the fact the game is missing half of the promised content, including some that was on the trailers.
Have you noticed a weird pattern where in your country, with insurance, the prices for non-insured individuals are through the roof? Even simple medications or procedures are so expensive you're almost guaranteed to suffer financially from any medical procedure. Ever noticed that?
The issue with a snarky "learn what insurance is about" is that insurance companies, especially in the US, especially within healthcare, figured out a loop by which they can increase the prices so absurdly high that you need insurance and even with insurance, you're likely going to suffer. So yes, your simplistic logic of "you pay insurance an affordable amount per month now, so that if you need something expensive later they cover you" is fundamentally destroyed by the reality where insurance companies can determine the final price, and therefore, it shifts from actual insurance into mafia.
But maybe nuance is not the strong suit of the average US citizen, so I guess a one liner snarky reply is all your working memory can afford to think through.
Agreed. What makes you think the world at large benefited from a "strong" USA as quoted? We didn't. We benefited, as in extracted value from, a rich USA buying goods.
The entire world no longer benefits from a strong US
Never did. We tolerate the US because of their large rich population of mindless consumers, no brand would be crazy to not pander to this market, and no executive politician would want to disrupt trade. But that's it, "the world" never truly liked the US.
I don't know how it behaves on ARM (so Apple's SOCs or your phone) but on Intel or AMD there are two manifestations:
They can intercept data and manipulate memory, and that's pretty much transparent, you wouldn't know unless you were a very advanced user running specific tests.
Or they can literally just brick the chip. It blows a few electronic fuses and corrupts it's own firmware, you press the button to turn on the device and it doesn't respond and will never respond again. Those fuses are permanent, once bricked its gone.
As far as regular CPUs go, it's not a rumour. Any AMD or Intel CPU made in the last 15 years can be remotely disabled via the network, even if the device is turned off (but connected to power).
Or I can use a self hosted SearXNG instance and not be a caveman? Or I can use the tool, but not glaze it online spreading it to others as if trust was a given?
You can recreate this with sausages or some cooked vegetables. We do it at science fairs.
Set them up in an alternating pattern of cold, hot, cold, hot. Let somebody place their arm on top. They'll feel like they just got a severe burn, even though they're fine and the sausages are not hot enough to cause any harm.
You do realize the rest of the world does protest by setting things on fire, attacking riot police, crafting handmade weaponry and much more, right?
I mean it, people with jobs and families and rule of law do exactly what you're saying you can't do. You realize that, right?
Your own weakness and the fact your population is disgracefully devoid of any civic duty (and nothing but saturated fat in your arteries) does not mean everybody else is "Rambo larping". We are asking why you are not reacting because we do react.
Imagine you're watching somebody in front of a moving train and they're not jumping away. To everybody else the obvious reaction is jumping, so we shout "what the hell are you doing, jump already!" and your reply would be "hurr durr this isn't a Spider Man movie, people can't jump I have a job, I'll stay here in front of the train tweeting angrily".
Obama bombed civilian targets. Don't let the current crap create the illusion that before Trump all presidents were peaceful rainbow good guys.
