Thanks for the suggestion I’ll follow it up!

 

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

I remember HATING clothes for Christmas. But now it’s all I want (so long as it’s my style). I don’t want random useless shit at Christmas, I want stuff I can use for years and wear out.

Thank you for reminding me of this one! I keep forgetting to try it out

I remember reading in Morgan Spurlock’s Don’t Eat This Book about a guy who worked at a crematorium. He stopped eating McDonald’s after they cremated a morbidly obese person and the smell was indistinguishable to the McDonald’s smell.

Isn’t it fortunate that we have robust user-centred privacy frameworks to protect people from corporate overreach. 🙃

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

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.

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.
