Absolutely. And be open that you don’t have experience with it!!

I feel like boomers are the worst about this (as a young business owner I get tons of random dumb business advice from that age group) but that could just be bias

Lovely :) kindness goes so far!

Ok this is so cool and I’m subscribed

Forgot to mention- can’t compare to photo prism as I’ve never used it!

I’m new to self hosting and I’ve only used it for about a month. During the last month all updates have been stable for me! But according to their roadmap they plan to do their official “stable” release a little later this year, so you could wait until then?

Also I’m running it in docker so that might help

Yeah it was over after pixel 3 or a little before iirc! Although to me it was obvious they would eventually kill it off because that’s soooo much storage. It was just a trick to get people bought into Google photos (which is a great service but much too expensive for me and now basically totally replaced by Immich)

Yeah great perspective. I think we all need to have this perspective more as many tech companies will randomly change their minds on their products.

Kind of like how I got free photo backup on my first two pixels. It was a nice feature, I’m sad it’s gone, but it’s fine.

You made me actually check out Immich and I love the tagging feature. That makes it feel much more like a photo library and less like just a giant file storage solution that happens to store photos.

Really interested in immich and archive box!

This comparison makes Celsius look even harder to use hahaha.

Only 10 degrees between 68 and 86? That’s either a very nice but chilly day or a hot day

I see your point - but there’s always going to be questions science can’t answer because science is based only on what we can observe and measure.

A big one is “where did everything come from”

So I don’t see a way of avoiding magical or spiritual thinking - it’s likely more important to separate that from fact when making decisions that effect more than just you :)

I don’t take astrology that seriously, it’s more of a conversation starter or a tool for introspection. Sometimes I see things about my birthdate that help me notice new things about myself, and sometimes it just seems made up.

Connecting astrology to anti-intellectualism is a pretty big reach in my opinion. I don’t think the ideas of astrology, religion, magic, etc should be applied to policy that impacts anybody else.

Pretty fair view on astrology! I have some friends/family members who have very close birthdays and it’s actually remarkable how similar they are in certain ways. I feel like I typically see the similarities in the way they handle things like relationships, power dynamics, confidence, and they sort of thing.

For example I know many Geminis, and one pattern I’ve noticed is that they are all passive aggressive types. Like they won’t tell you about a problem until it’s too late, and then they will boil over and you’ll end up in a fight about something that could have been resolved so much easier.

Could that be confirmation bias on my part? Definitely. But still it’s a fun tool for introspection if you don’t take it too far :) I also like to think of the history behind it and how humans developed it in such a human way just from observations.

Why? I don’t see how astrology hurts anybody (unless people take it to extremes, like not dating someone because of their signs or something like that.)

The one I thought of was actually “What do you think about astrology?”

The answer I am looking for is neither that they believe or don’t believe it, I want to hear something between. Something like

“It’s fun! I love seeing the connections between people born with similar birthdays and stuff, and honestly it does seem accurate sometimes. But also I don’t live by it! What about you?”

This open, honest way of communicating is what’s important. Didn’t knock the idea down or support it 100%, just approached with an open mind.

Making vanilla syrup after not being able to find it in the store. Convinced myself it would be too hard.

It took 10 minutes of actual focus

Basically always. Unless my signal automatically turned off as I merged into the left lane and then I turned left immediately before I even had time to turn it back on

You also HAVE to exploit people in order to get there.

Welcome! I’ve been here for a little over a month and having a good time.

Also I’m completely avoiding political posts - use the built in filtering system in whatever app you’re using to block common annoying post words. For me that was certain political figures names for example.

What brings you here?
