You can disable the deb check by putting "SKIP_HOST_UPDATE": true in your configuration file and just let your package manager update it

Everyone has different threat models, vulnerable people don't need to use such a feature, assuming that it's all local and implemented perfectly.

It should also be opt out by default for Microsoft.

I personally see a lot of use for this if it was running entirely local. I always find myself in a position where there's things which I've browsed or come across but it's difficult retrieving it from my history.

I can see the guys at System76 filling in this gap. They have excellent hardware and their own PopOS is really user friendly for newcomers. Gaming support is also pretty decent paired with Steams Proton.

The problem with onboarding people to use Linux is like trying to convince an iPhone user to use an Android device. Many people are stuck in their respective ecosystem and are used to familiarity, they're not going to switch to linux unless you can get over the burden of switching.

In my anecdotal experience, I installed Linux for a teacher of mine and he had some issues with getting used to it but his kids quickly figured it out and weren't used to Windows or MacOS which made it significantly easier. Putting Linux computers in students hands is honestly the best way to increase adoption and Chromebooks are a perfect example of this.

They actually reverse engineered Apple's iMessage and released a POC. At the time it worked and demonstrated on device bridges being a possibility. The runs locally and then encrypts it client side before it reaches beeper services. This can be enabled for Signal under experimental settings already.

There's a setting to disable it actually.

This should do the trick.

This is quite a basic feature which should be inbuilt to the Immich mobile app. It's a common use case to want your screenshots, WhatsApp media album to not be displayed on the main timeline.

If you're running an instance for less technical users it's more hiccups to setup syncthing etc and have to explain why another app is needed.

Immich on mobile doesn't give you much flexibility with where each local folder gets uploaded to yet so it doesn't preserve folder structure. If you're using the CLI you can program the structure and tell it which album a folder can map to.

This is moot. Immich fully supports external libraries.

You're correct, Immich does support external libraries. To be more elaborate with my original comment, I meant inbuilt apps of Nextcloud which integrate well and complement the memories app. An example app would be the Face recognition one or Recognize if you fancy a different implementation. Nextcloud is after all an ecosystem so using memories gains you the other benefits of such an ecosystem. This might be overkill for some so it's upto your usecases.

Versions breaking is an issue since both mobile and server clients have to be on the same version. Compared to Nextcloud Memories this is not an issue. This was an issue when I've last used Immich so this may have changed since then.

As easy as downloading an app from the store and telling it which directory to work with.

If you need the AI features those require separate apps and depending on your deployment it might need some effort. I'm running a docker image and had to ensure I have some of the required libraries for the AI things to work. It isn't too hard to misconfigure though and I believe there's a decent amount of resources for this.

As for mobile app, there isn't an explicit one but the webapp interface is mobile friendly and works pretty well. I also use NC photos and it still works with the tags and face recognition things. That app doesn't require "Memories" as far as I know.

The main thing to me was that since this runs on Nextcloud its more extensible as the photos are just stored under the files and you can use various other apps to do what your heart desires. The other aspect is you get your own Gdrive alternative. You may or may not want this.

For mobile compatibility Nextcloud is better since you can choose which folder photos go to and you can essentially automatically backup albums whereas with Immich you can't automatically specify which album photos from a directory should go [1].

In addition to this, Immich isn't too stable yet and each time you update the server all clients have to be on the latest version, at least since the last time I used Immich.

If you're on a Pixel 7 and upwards or the latest Samsung phones there's also circle to search by holding the home button down. The OCR works quite well including English, Russian, Arabic, Japanese and I'm sure it works on other languages too.

If you're on Android 14 you can also copy text through the recents/overview menu simply by highlighting the text. And finally there's Google Photos if you don't have any of these features.

There's also Google lens if you're trying to copy text that isn't on your screen.

Do things such as Gcam and Google Pay work?

The two major things I need from my phone is good camera quality and being able to use Google Pay which is useful where I'm at.

While your point is understandable there are various types of people. An important aspect about user experience is aesthetic and ease of use. Some people care purely about functionality and others have mixed opinions on this. It's not fair to call it petty when you guys are just two different customers and users with different needs.

People sometimes forget the importance of user experience and it's why some amazing software barely gets used.

Personally I care about aesthetic and consistency but willing to sacrifice depending on what I'm doing.

I've found that Anki is better for my needs since I'm usually on the go and use my mobile significantly more to consume any content.

I think there's a lot of other users in a similar position and the UI/UX for mnemosyne is stuck in the past for me. AnkiDroid has a more modern feel and while it can be improved it's sufficient.

Aside from that critique, does anyone know about the effectiveness between the two?

And if you're using fish shell, you can start a private session with fish --private or fish -P for short

Is this algorithm also available on mobile?

I'd recommend you to look at Fever API since alot of different aggregators support it and its well documented. Best way to reach as many people as possible as well.

In addition to this site, I'd also highly recommend this resource.

Would also like to add in this resource which is pretty in-depth.

My personal gripe with lemmy is the lack of decent mobile clients.

Bleeding edge arch linux user here, I've barely come across any major bugs in the last couple of years. Whenever I find something I do report it and it usually gets fixed really quickly.

In fact, many of these bugs were on stable releases too.

Does anyone here actually use SML for production or know of big projects (outside of academia) which uses it?

Compared to other functional langauges, it doesn't seem as popular.

Not in the part of the world I lived in, plus debit cards here work on local only sites whereas registrars are non-local.

In Qatar national services use ".qa", and these are not necessarily official government sites.

For example our community schools uses a .qa domain and the biggest telecom provider among various other sites.

What you're saying does not apply to all countries.

I've also been using wayland for a couple years now. Switched from i3 to sway and never had screen tearing as I did with X server.

Just recently moved to Hyprland and similar experience. Barely had any hiccups and switching to a non-english layout such as Arabic works like a charm.

Perhaps maybe our systems are just ideal? For the record I'm using a thinkpad which generally has good support but even on my Lenovo G505 it worked perfectly.

While freenom did genuinely have issues with spam and the like.

I must say it played a pivotal role in my life, it allowed me to do my passion and have a domain name in my early teens when I couldn't pay for anything. Being able to toy with a domain name led me down many rabbit holes and led to me trying out self-hosting and system administration.

Sad we can't have free things.

Exactly, I just absorb whatever I read and comment in rare circumstances. In those rare circumstances, there's many times where people have said what I wanted.

They did try using monal, the main issue with many of these clients was reliable push notifications. The other was it just not being as polished.

Perhaps the state of things are different. This was about a year and a half back.

XMPP would be viable if it had a better iOS client. Some of my contacts switched to iOS and every app we tried wasn't as good as "Conversations" on Android.

CPPC needs to be enabled in BIOS for this and unfortunately that option isn't present.

If you see the thread linked in previous comment, Lenovo has been advised not to enable the feature :/
