It’s the minimum effort that translates to minimum time that translates to minimum cost for the business. Why hire another developer for a mobile app (or another platform) when you could just have the same web dev write it. Or without hiring another dev, why have the same dev need to build up tooling in another language when you can just reuse from the existing platform

Here’s the story of how anthropic spent $20,000 writing a C compiler that can’t compile hello world on it’s own:

Omori is fantastic

It’s one of those games that’s best to go in blind (while knowing of the content warning)

The actual wording is “Music and audio that is generated wholly or in substantial part by AI is not permitted on Bandcamp.”

So no, 99% AI is also not allowed

Highly recommend this game, was a ton of fun to play through. If you’re looking for another game like this, check out manifold garden, which also happens to be 75% off: https://store.steampowered.com/app/473950/Manifold_Garden/

Mr Robot’s soundtrack is awesome, I remember the agonizing years waiting for the final volume to come out through all the red tape

Absolutely worth it

Aurora on my work machine, Bazzite on my home machine haha

There is this: https://github.com/laylavish/uBlockOrigin-HUGE-AI-Blocklist

Beets is one solution, and I also recommend taking a look at Musicbrainz Picard. It’s a more graphical and user friendly way (though more manual) to identify, organize, tag, and sort music into a preferred format. It’s what I use on all my Bandcamp purchases to clean up metadata and add things like lyrics before it automatically throws it into the right folder

You just bounced so high it took a little time to fall back down

In addition to autorenaming Picard can also auto organize into folders. So any time I buy new music, I run it through Picard to ensure metadata is correct, grab lyrics, and put it in the right folder that is then picked up by my self hosted navidrome

Just one?

Portal - Self Esteem Fund by Kelly Bailey

The volumes this song speaks through it’s atmosphere is incredible. The raw emotions and feelings of isolation are better conveyed through this song than words ever can in my opinion

My scrobbles say I’ve listened to this single song for more than 9 hours over the years… I have so many emotions bottled up in this song lol

This is the album that introduced me to this genre and I love it. I also bought his self titled album

That’s fair. And in the case of Immich, the photos are automatically backed up to my computer so if I lose my phone I don’t lose the images, but I totally understand wanting something exclusively on the phone (Immich can let you browse photos local on your phone, but I don’t think it indexes them for searching by person/object). Unfortunately I’m not sure something like that exists, especially since the machine learning for identifying people/objects in pictures is pretty computationally intensive.

I wish you luck in your search! I agree that would be a great app to have

I’m sorry, I’m not entirely sure what you mean. All my photos are on my local hard drive on my computer at home, and I just point immich at that folder.

Once it boots up, immich doesn’t need internet to function, except for the first time you use image processing (the machine learning to search for things inside of images) and geocoding (putting the images on a map). Once it downloads those for the first time immich can run completely offline on your local computer. If you wish, you can open immich so you can connect to it from another device, such as a phone, but your images/data never leaves your device

That is completely fair, and part of that is on me since I spend so much time in self hosting communities where such a recommendation isn’t too out of the ordinary, while it’s way out of scope for what most people are looking for

Having a more user friendly and approachable way to do stuff like this would be very helpful

Immich lets you do this

https://immich.app/docs/features/searching/

For example here’s me searching for “forest”. But it also supports looking for people (even multiple people in the same image), places, dates, or combinations of all of them. It’ll also look for text in images. The link has more examples

All hosted and processed on my local computer, and connected to the mobile app

Thank you!
