You're looking for an OAuth-compatible identity provider (personally I use Kanidm, if Keycloak does that too that works, I've never used it). And then set it up as the auth mechanism for Immich, and whatever else you want: https://immich.app/docs/administration/oauth

Podcasts are distributed via RSS (example). Spotify is probably just a frontend for that.

Just tested it, it did that for me too the very first time I ran it. Click the app icon in the dock to get the window back.

Yeah, I have an OpenVPN TAP server running for this purpose. (TAP so that broadcast packets work)

What do you mean? This is perfectly modern. Material UI and minimal, outline style icon theme. That's all the rage with web devs nowadays. Amazing.

(Not that there's anything wrong with that in this case, that's the Android style after all. But personally I heavily dislike Material UI.)

I would say that this UI is ugly though. Spacing is all over the place, the icons don't look cohesive at all apart from the colors used (for example, rounded vs sharp corners), the yellowed paper looking background color, overuse of bold/italic/colored text (especially multiple of those at the same time), inconsistent display of the same thing (in one screenshot the mailbox name is displayed as "Gmail", in the other as "[Gmail]"). And so on.

But that doesn't mean it's "outdated", this would have been equally as bad 10 years ago.

(I just have a knee jerk reaction to people saying "outdated UI" because usually it's used as a justification to replacing perfectly well designed UI with a worse version just so that it follows contemporary design trends. Cf the Windows Settings app.)

I’ve submitted at least 8 bug reports to them since Oct 2023 (and also many suggestions) through their feedback app. No response to any of them until now. The only closed bugs I closed myself because the problem went away in an update.

I’m pretty sure they don’t have any bug triager whatsoever.

I’ll keep doing it out of spite and because it’s what I do for open-source as well, but I’m really not sure if it has any effect at all.

How about GNU M4 + Make (output)?

(to be clear this is a joke suggestion. but yes it is what I legitimately use)

It’s a free reimplementation of the NeXTSTEP API (and now the successor Cocoa in macOS). So kind of what Linux is to real UNIX.

Look into GNUstep and related projects maybe? I’m not sure how close it is to pre-NS Mac (that was OS X iirc?) but it might be close enough.

I killed 3 Raspberry Pis by putting them onto a metal surface while turned on (first two times I didn’t know what was happening and the third time was accidental). Do not recommend.

I’d trust a chinese vehicle over a Tesla any day.
