The extension of the argument I'm making (and maybe them kinda?) is that it's functionally the same as if the software were political.

You can make software that nearly exclusively benefits a particular political belief for family of beliefs.

So even if it's not actually technically political, it can be functionally political, at which point the argument is splitting hairs.

My boy just forgot blind people exist and can function their bodies

You don't even need reasonably powerful hardware, I do it on my raspberry Pi 5. It just takes a little longer, which isn't usually a problem except for the first time you import your library.

The other person deleted their comment so I can't really know what the argument was, but I would like to make a distinction:

While tools cannot be political themselves, tools can lend themselves to specific political purposes.

A tank cannot itself be fascist, but it can make fascism more viable. Surveillance software cannot be political, but it is easily abused by fascists to destroy political opposition.

What matters is the harm and benefits. Is the harm caused by the tool justified by it's benefits? Or are the primary use cases for the tool to prop up fascism?
\ (I suspect that "authoritarianism" would be a better term to use here, but I'm continuing the theme of the thread)

Nextcloud is like Google drive, immich is like Google photos.
\ You'd typically prefer to look at your photo albums in Google photos instead of Google drive.

I'm running it on in docker and I've connected it to my NAS mounted as a network drive. I set it up a few months ago, do it's better since then.

Don't even worry about the hardware, I've got it set up on a raspberry Pi 5. It'll take a while to do all the classification on your existing library, but new photos get classified fast enough. You're unlikely to need to do a smart search immediately after you've taken the pic.

For clarity, I'm not on Windows (obv, raspberry Pi), and I'm not using docker directly; I'm running HAOS on my pi, and I'm using the immich add-on. I know it uses docker, but I can't tell you the exact command to run.

It absolutely has 6 floors, and counting as the Americans do with ground floor being floor 1, then the top floor would be floor 6.

I can't find good photos so I'm using Google Earth, but I kinda agree with OP, I find 16 quai de bondy bears more resemblance than 6 rue burdeau, even accounting for foreground. Rue burdeau is way too close to those points of interest.

But as you said, it's all inspiration anyways. Interesting that there'd still be some identifiable landmarks in the background if the foreground is all just kinda made up.

Why would that make banks less likely to take foreign money instead of more likely to take foreign money?

It absolutely could not happen again, regardless of how organized the community was, because banks simply wouldn't sell the foreclosed property in an auction of community peers if they weren't getting good money for it, they'd auction it to REITs and corporations without them needing to set foot in an auction house.

It's not unholy, it's just less holy. There is still one hole.

Wrong.
\ It's called swamp water, and as kids we loved it. Mixem all up!

They're looking for local access network access only

I'm not sure how you measure if bait was successful, but it is indeed a sad state of affairs

I was just testing it out lol.
\ There is also a graph plugin for an obsidian-like view, but it's kinda janky.

There is a beta AI plugin too, which (as much as I hate AI) is something I may try. The power of NotebookML is just too much, I wanna be able to ask it shit about my D&D campaign notes.

I was going to switch to trillium next, but in the end I decided not because it relies on a database even more than Joplin does.

I'm in the process of giving Silver Bullet a try. It seems to be pretty well designed. I don't really like that folders are just cosmetic and not useful for navigation, but I like that it is open source, that the documents are saved in the file system, and that it's self-hosted instead of synced.

That encourages the incumbent, who has the most power to affect laws, to suppress voter turn out as much as possible.

It should be that if the voter turnout is below a certain threshold, the incumbent is disqualified from the election.

People need journalism because you can't believe the horse's mouth and you don't have time to do deep investigation into every suspicious activity by people in power.

There are thankfully more options than "the horse's mouth" and "social media", but unfortunately those options are dwindling

That's the whole point of this post.

What if you do retain your memories, but your past lives were creatures that didn't have the ability to form memories?

That was a bit of hyperbole on my part.

The baby has hands, the hands are on the floor, the hands are soon to be in the baby's mouth. That's what I was getting at. When a baby is on the floor, floor dirt will be getting in the baby's mouth.
