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.

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.

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.

Not if you want to push the site hard to the right!

Yeah, this is probably the way I’d go about it. Dedicated hard drive, separate/no network access, no access to other files. Who cares if it is malware if it can’t get to anything.

The four day head start thing being bullshit was a good point. But yeah, I’m not likely to pirate an executable any time soon.

Sure, there’s that. Also, sometimes I just write bad.

One of my last comments on Reddit was about this.

The biggest difference I’ve noticed is that people have stopped reading sentences. They’ll read all the words and then upvote based on the feeling those individual words give them. They won’t consider the meaning of all those words put together.

And yeah, “upvote does not mean agree” is something Reddit has always struggled with, but it has definitely had exponential growth lately.

It has made me start writing more clearly. There are comments I’ve written that have been wildly misinterpreted from my actual meaning. Part of that is that I tend towards sarcasm, and it doesn’t translate well over the internet no matter how absurd I get with it. But I’ve also started aiming to use more simple sentence structure.

New roof, solar panels, battery, EV, remodel part of the house, new siding, buy a small house in my neighborhood to function as a guest house, take care of my parents, spend a couple months in Europe.

Oh, you meant the rest of it. Government bonds are always good. You can also use more than one bank to expand the $250k limit (which applies per account type and bank). A trust, for example, is insured separately from your checking account.

Past that, I couldn’t tell you. Your financial advisor would though, just make sure they have a “fiduciary duty” to serve your interests.

Keep in mind that in these situations it’s not always their fault. Sometimes two other people have pulled in straight and they’re the third. Then the other two leave, and they just look like an ass.

Or maybe they’re just an ass. Can really go either way.

It doesn’t matter if it is. The way to do that is to increase your prices, not with hidden fees.

If you’re using Windows, just make sure file extensions are visible and that your file isn’t named Movie.mp4.exe
