Is it just me or does it feel super corrupt that all of these charities are paying their "leadership" seven (7) figure salaries?
The top one is making over $5 million USD / year.

Migration from iCloud Photos to Immich in progress 
Things I like:
* Easy to get going and seems much faster than my experience with Nextcloud
* Seems to support both HEIC and Live Photos and even displays them nicely in the interface
* Seems able to upload the photos directly from iCloud without having to download them all (a real win when you have more than 256GB of iCloud Photos and a 256GB phone
* Machine learning & recognition seem decent
Waiting to see:
* I do seem to need to keep the app open to upload reliably — but I am uploading 32k items so I figure this is probably a one-time thing
* It seems to stop uploading after every few hundred imports and grind all 6 cores I gave it at 100% for a few min — I assume this is the ML running over recent uploads though and will also be one-time (plus the WebUI stays working during this)

Nachdem ich Matcha Latte allgemein sehr geil finde, und im Teeladen letztens Matcha-Tee herumlag … dachte ich mir, den probierst du mal.
Stellt sich heraus: Matcha-Tee ist so gar nicht meines.
Aber hey, es ist Tee, nach guter britischer Art könnte man da noch Milch dazukippen, vielleicht wird's dann mehr Latte.
Stellt sich raus: Nope, auch das hilft nicht, ist immer noch nicht meines.
Jedenfalls … braucht jemand Matcha-Tee?
@Bubu Naja, streng genommen Match Genmaicha^^
Und zumindest der Duft davon (sowohl in trockener Form als auch aufgegossen) ist schon sehr angenehm. Aber der Tee selbst … ist nichts für mich, leider.
Ah, dann weiß ich was du meinst. :)
(Also ich mag den, aber hab auch zumindest Genmaicha, ohne Matcha, noch hier.)
Fellow *non*-Americans—are you using any or all of the U.S. support for Israeli wars and the Israeli genocide on Palestinians, the U.S. attack on Venezuela, the annexation threats against Greenland, or other U.S. policy decisions to move away from U.S. products and services?

Servers described as "Glitch Mastodon" or "Hometown Mastodon" work just like Mastodon but have additional features such as larger post sizes, rich text formatting or local-only posts.
Mastodon's server software is free and open source, so programmers can tweak it to make their own versions. (Untweaked Mastodon is often called "Vanilla Mastodon".)
You can find good Glitch and Hometown servers to join or move to at:

I got this mini PC a couple months ago for a home server. It comes with Windows pre-installed and has sufficient USB ports for the basics. I imagine it can handle what you need without issue.

This is a survey all #Discord users need to fill out {edit - seems they closed it within a day?}. Discord wants to know if we want AI to run the app. It'd be using data from pictures, conversations, voice notes, live streams, art, 'learning' from us in the app if they don't get strong enough pushback.
Let them know how you feel before they ruin that app for everyone as well.
It's an [assumed - see replies] official survey and it doesn't even take 5 mins. Please boost and share in your servers too.

A record this week, 4 claims my pics are AI; one photo + three pieces of art from ~2010s.
AI isn't fucking up art, it's fucking up people's perception of what art or creativity can be or what things not phone camera pics can be.
Modern phone camera shots are more AI than my photoshopping btw.

It’s bewildering how bad offline Apple Music is.
When I have spotty reception the app just stops working until I enable airplane mode.
Now I went to listen to music on an actual plane and all my downloads are just gone.
I guess I need to 🏴☠️ for a better UX. What’s a good iOS app to play mp3s?

I'd like to ask folks to reflect for a moment.
Are you adding to a pile-on of criticisms? If so, is the target of those criticisms someone who might be exposed to undue amounts of judgment already because of who they are (whether through race, gender, queerness, etc)?
Might you be magnifying the underlying bias against the person with your actions? Are there more compassionate approaches to take? Do your actions help or hinder in the grand scheme?
