I was in M2-XFE. That whole experience certainly taught a lot about the power of narrative and propaganda. And the later blockade showed what leadership failures look like.

We always had the advantage in that blockade, and could have stayed there for another year had the allies stuck together. Or we could have executed real plans to break them and end the war. Instead we did the worst of both.

the land they stole.

Do you consider that all of Israel?

Wanna bet? There are ways to frog in a boiling pot this. And chrome isn’t the only browser that will support blocking Firefox. (They’ll argue Chromium is not Google, only Chrome).

As a software dev, I don’t think there really is a better way. One thing you could do to avoid this is to install a second drive and boot to completely different OSes. You could boot to a Linux drive for personal stuff, and only use Windows for gaming.

These gaming companies are pretty aware that they go bankrupt if they either get a reputation for abusing anti-chrst data OR are full of cheaters. They have some incentive to use data ethically. But it’s still a good thing to keep an eye on.

It’s something like

Help > About > Check for updates

My 7.6.0.3 won’t auto update. Says there are no updates available. I’m trying a manual install.

That’s reductive and wrong.

Keeping their jobs, maybe. Avoiding the accusations of “deep state”, no matter how justified they might be in taking action.

When are they blocking Firefox?

If you can open it, they can open it. There’s not much of a point if it’s something you can undo.

Yeah, that ain’t gonna cut it.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It’s worth thinking about what you’re putting out there, but you’re right. This isn’t a Threads specific thing.

You’re putting these posts on the internet. You should expect everyone to read them, including Threads and Google and Putin and Kim Jong Un. That’s kind of the idea of public posting. They don’t even need an API to do that.
