That story is immediately what came to mind.

4grams@awful.systemsto Technology@beehaw.org•Humane slashes the price of its AI Pin after weak salesEnglish3·8 months agotruth be told, the only reason I would be even remotely interested in the device is the stupid laser projector. Seems like that might be fun to play with.
4grams@awful.systemsto Technology@beehaw.org•Humane slashes the price of its AI Pin after weak salesEnglish10·8 months agoI’d try one for $29.99, that’s about it though.
4grams@awful.systemsto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Immich v1.109.1 released with optional paid licenseEnglish13·1 year agoI am a huge fan of immich, been running it for quite a while, it started as just phone photo backup but it’s good enough that I’ve made it my primary photo repository (fully backed up of course). I will absolutely pay for a license but count me as one who doesn’t really like the terminology used.
I would happily put a donated or supporter badge to show off, but the unlicensed just feels a bit wrong. I have no trouble paying for software, especially as useful as immich, but in the enshittifying world we live in, such language gives one pause.

Ha! This is a glorious future we’re living in…
I have no opinion on the Star Wars/Dune debate but that is one fantastic comment. Kudos to the author, brought me quite a smile.
4grams@awful.systemsto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Using Ubuntu may give off hipster vibes to the average PC user, but within the Linux community its has the opposite effect.English2·1 year agodoes the job I suppose. I don’t use desktop enough to have any useful thoughts about it. I like that it’s a decent gui over what I’m used to.
4grams@awful.systemsto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Using Ubuntu may give off hipster vibes to the average PC user, but within the Linux community its has the opposite effect.English3·1 year agobingo, I enjoy the stabilty and simplicity for my servers but I wouldn’t run vanilla debian for a desktop.
ironically I tend to use Linux Mint for desktop which I guess is a grandchild then, since it’s based on Ubuntu :).oops, I use LMDE, not Mint… forgot that I switched a while back since it’s directly debian based.
4grams@awful.systemsto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Using Ubuntu may give off hipster vibes to the average PC user, but within the Linux community its has the opposite effect.English6·1 year agoabsolutely nothing, it’s my preferred distro (and I have the grey beard to match). what I mean is that despite not using Ubuntu (or honestly even liking it that much), I give it a pass since it’s the offspring of my preffered flavor.

the internet was a mistake
4grams@awful.systemsto Memes@lemmy.ml•I'm giving them a year until lifetime licenses start to mean nothing.English2·1 year agoYeah, I have never really used search for that same reason, I don’t have enough to lose track of anyway.
Thanks for the reply though. I hear about jellyfin a lot and my needs are simple so I’m gonna give it a go.
4grams@awful.systemsto Memes@lemmy.ml•I'm giving them a year until lifetime licenses start to mean nothing.English6·1 year agoSame here, although I’m still using it. It’s doing what I got it for and some of the additions are welcome (I use live TV fairly often and some friends and I are sharing libraries) but I have been concerned. What made you switch and did you find something better?
as a dad, in the market for a station wagon, there really isn’t anything as cool anymore. I still want a roadmaster (in good condition) so bad, nothing better than a huge, wood paneled boat powered by an LT1.
haven’t seen than one. thanks, adding it to the collection :).
4grams@awful.systemsto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Another question about used hard drivesEnglish6·1 year agoBingo. I’ve been running refurb 4tb hgst drives for years now, oldest one has 50k power on hours and I’m not sure if that’s how long I’ve run it or if it had a bunch when it came. Either way, I have yet to lose one in years of use while popping several western digital and seagate drives.
I’m moving to 10tb drives (I tend to pick the biggest sub $100 drive option when I need a new standard) since I’m out of drive bays and nearly out of space on the old garbage array. Stick to the 3-2-1 rule and these should be fine.
4grams@awful.systemsto Memes@lemmy.ml•I'm really getting over the enshitification of the internet.English18·1 year agobetween lemmy, mastodon and my own nerd projects, I’m having more fun on the internet than I have since the 90’s. so, while I hate the enshittification, the side effect has been me rediscovering what was so fun in these tubes…
I call that a feature.
