Checkout Toshy. This has been a life saver for me.

Arctic supports push notifications. The reason why it’s not more common amongst 3rd party apps, is because you in need a dedicated server to enable push notifications. Push notifications are part of the Lemmy roadmap, maybe when that’s released, 3rd party apps can take a advantage of it.

I can’t believe it! 😱

Minor spoilers… but it was fun seeing how a contemporary to Kern uplifted a different species, and more deliberately. Which adds to the universe rather than just have it be… Kern is God kind of thing. And seeing a species that was more emotion based was pretty great too. Different types of intelligences… not to mention the completely alien Nodan species.

Children of Ruin was my favourite. The slight horror tones of some of the story really got me! And also… 🐙

Both great series. Revelation Space was my intro into hard sci-fi. What a freaking ride that story is.

Children of Time and its sequels are top notch, especially if you love animals and commentary on societal roles. It’s in my top Sci-Fi.

If you enjoyed Children of Time, definitely check out “A Memory Called Empire” by Arkady Martine. It’s a Sci-Fi political mystery with lots of fun word play. Aside from some really cool tech, the book really tackles what it means to be “Other” and how colonialism effects one’s idea of self. Some really cool ideas in this book. Easily my top Sci-Fi read this year.

If you’re technical at all, self host immich. or you and a few friends could get together and set up a pikapods for immich, it’s relatively cheap and I’ve heard great things about pikapods. I know storing photos shouldn’t require technical knowledge, but honestly unless someone you know and trust manages the service, it’s hard to know who can abuse your data. I migrated from google photos to immich myself and the app ecosystem (migration tools, mobile apps, web app) are great and provide much of what google photos provided.

Ah. Are you using iCloud storage with Immich?

I was under the impression it functions similar to Immich. Figured, since you’re testing out Immich and PhotoPrism, maybe you’d test out Ente’s self hosted version too and compare 🫡

Have you considered ente?

Can you share what lawsuit you’re referring to? 🙏

Viewing cross posts is probably my favourite feature for 2.0 so far. It’s been a little over a week, and I can’t believe I used Lemmy without it!

Search by post works great 🫡🫶💪

In an Apple community too, no less.

Telegram needs to enable e2ee by default, cause the way it is now, you may as well not have it.

I mean that is a fair point. But open source client only matters if people were using Telegram’s secret chats consistently. The closed source server is what’s most important when almost all communication happens plain text.

You can hide your phone number now with the release of usernames in Signal. Still need it for registration tho.

I suspect that’s because Telegram’s marketing and it’s users consistently try to place Telegram in the same categories as actually secure and encrypted messengers. Whereas I don’t see tech blogs claiming that FB messenger is secure.
