Thanks for the suggestion I’ll follow it up!
PhotoPrism vs Apple Photos currently?
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
Thank you for reminding me of this one! I keep forgetting to try it out
FHS is an absolute dumpster fire that would never be dreamed up in this day and age
Hoping that the grids are actually upgraded to ride the waves of generation by that stage
People using carriage returns as paragraph breaks 😭😭😭
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.
Use a piece of leather or some multiple sheets of masking tape
I think the issue is Apple guards their wallet so tightly that basically no jurisdiction can get their IDs in it
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?

This is slightly unrelated, but I’ve been slowly moving to Linux from windows for a while. I haven’t made the full plunge yet, but here’s my biggest strategy:
Use as many apps on windows as you can on Linux.
I’m using Okular, Ghostwriter, Libreoffice, Cider, etc. every month or so, another app is moved across.
Then, I make the switch and all my apps are there as I’m used to them.
Thanks so much for these replies! If I’m organised I’ll try updating this post with photos and my experience
The thing is that there is always a bias. An AGI is created by humans and therefore will be imbued by human biases and, if it manages to rewrite itself free of human biases, will create its own. This has already happened with some so-called objective AIs and algorithms, where they show bias against racial minorities etc.
I would suggest you have a look at critical realism. At its core, this perspective states that there is an objective reality that exists, but it will always be perceived and interpreted through different perspectives because conscious entities create their own realities to navigate the world.
Therefore, there might be an objective reality, but its perception is always biased.

SOLVED: Help me find the name of a movie
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.
Growing numbers of students are typing rather than writing their exams, due to fears their messy or illegible penmanship will hurt their marks.
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?
What do you think about $380m for noping out of the Commonwealth Games
The State of Victoria has agreed to pay the Commonwealth Games parties $380 million in compensation after pulling out of the 2026 regional event.
Part of me is inclined to say might as well keep going with the games, but then I think sunk cost fallacy.
Does anyone even care about the commonwealth games?
Someone please explain!
Train is listed as stopping at MCE but the train’s stopping pattern says not.
Landlords would only be able to increase rent once every two years and may face a cap on the amount they can hike it by under sweeping planning and housing reforms being considered by the Andrews government.
Most Australian landlords lose money on their investments, earn modest incomes and don’t have fancy jobs.
