enshittification is an inevitable late stage consequence

Maybe, but I don't think it is. Enshittification is a direct result of our tax policy that encourages cashing out, only looks at the short term, and requires constant growth.

There was a time when companies built a reputation and held onto it for a hundred years. We could go back to that.

Tax the rich.

Which is kind of weird because most C# devs aren't doing games.

We're all smart enough to understand the spirit of this law, and know that in this situation he's not going to have an issue with the letter.

He could make a phone call and get a letter from the US government.

Uh, seems like an odd reason to quit your job.

I'd have to quit my job twice a week if I left every time my boss said something dumb.

Sorry, you're right. My (incorrect) version made more sense. Edited in the word "mainland" twice to make it more accurate.

The original story was slightly exaggerated.

The agreement was that the service would only be enabled within Ukraine mainland. This was accomplished by automatically turning them off any time they left Ukraine mainland. Elon refused to disable or expand the territory limit.

Which is absolutely counter to United States interests. And it's not like Russian submarines were filled with schools and hospitals. You can't name a better example of a military target.

But it's not the original story that he turned them off in the middle of the attack.

Yeah, this will insure I never use Unity. But at least they can collect from their existing games.

You do have to turn off battery saver for the background process. Phones tend to not like background processes. That would cause the behavior you're seeing.

Settings > Apps > App battery usage > Immich > Set to "unrestricted"

Also I have mine set to a ten minute delay, maybe that's why I haven't noticed. Maybe try adding a small delay to the load?

(Primarily I wanted a chance to delete photos before they uploaded.)

Immich is working pretty well for me. Even the search does a decent job of recognizing the things in the pictures.

I'm not sure what Google photos has that Immich doesn't, and I've been using Google photos for years.

That's what bitlocker is supposed to do. It's kind of the whole point of bitlocker.

This is me, laughing at your comment as a bald eagle clutching an assault rifle flies over and shits simultaneously on my head and the idea of public transit.

I'm already telling people to get out of Florida*. I expect multiple Katrina-level events over the next 15 years. "Florida refugees" is going to become a common phrase.

Orlando might be more likely to survive than Miami or Tampa, but do you really want to be in the city surrounded by devastation?

We, as humans, seem to have lost the ability to plan more than 20 years into the future. Florida is still building in areas that are going to be crushed, and the only reaction is from insurance companies.

We're not trying to prevent it. We're not building any kind of defenses or contingency plans. We're not encouraging people to move out. We're not preventing people from moving in. In fact, we're building new and encouraging people to move IN to Florida. It's full on head in sand.

it all takes more time than everyone assumes

Exactly, and well said.

lt; Spongebob text But what if we just start completely over? \

Yeah, the whole "this is THEIR software and we're just a few hobby people" struck me.

Aren't the Lemmy devs in a pretty similar situation? I wouldn't be surprised if individual instances got more donations than the Lemmy project itself. (And to be clear, I don't expect any of that is a living wage for someone.)

"Starting from scratch" is usually a pretty naive suggestion for a large project that seems to be functioning well in large scale production.

I do get that there are problems, especially from a moderation perspective. But that's one scope of a much larger project.

Pointing fingers seems less productive than pull requests and/or patience. And I'd be surprised if there were other, open software available that has the same functionality outside of the fediverse.

I know of the issue with decommissioned servers, which has been resolved. I've seen the instances crashing less and less over time. I've experienced the software responding faster and more reliably. So I've seen some amount of progress. The project isn't dead. In fact you can watch what they're doing at their GitHub link. It's very, very active.

The way things like this tend to be done at scale is to rewrite one part at a time, however you can break it up.

Because young voters don't show up to primaries.

Is she just starting college? A relationship with someone who's not at her school might be rough for her. I'd be forever disappointed if I didn't have those life experiences.

Yeah, there's really nothing wrong with a 50 year old dating a 19 year old. Age is just a number. There's no power imbalance there or expectations. It's perfectly healthy for the 19 year old to get into a long term relationship where their partner is going to be 70 before they're 40.

Or, maybe, half your age + 7 is a good rule. It's pretty lenient.

Yeah, just put software on all the machines that tracks mouse clicks or keyboard presses every 20 seconds. Watch hardware devices for mouse jigglers. You can track every time they take a shit.

Plus you get to layoff employees without calling it layoffs. Wall street loves that.

They don't have that much power. It takes a lot (and a lack of sanity) for someone to "kill a bunch of people on their way out".

The most they can do is something like Jan 6th with more competence. Something like that requires organization, and the FBI is pretty good at infiltrating organizations who are trying to grow enough to make a difference. January 6th wasn't stopped primarily because it was done by the President, and the office (for better or worse) gets more leeway with laws.
