It’s all down to the way the brain works. Our brains use up something like 20% of our calories when standing still doing nothing.

Grass does not supply the amount of calories and micronutrients needed to keep the human brain running, simply because it is low on both of those things.

Grass eaters have multiple stomachs, slow digestion and graze pretty much the whole time they’re awake, and because their brains use a lot less energy than human brains, the balance works out.

Corporate control

Naive searching for a dating coach is likely to land you in the lap of a red pill/manosphere grifter

Because I missed the niche that reddit filled and I wasn’t willing to return to reddit or any other corporate, centralised social media/community platform.

I saw the writing on the wall, but I believed that something would happen for us to change course before we got there. The reality check is that not only did we not change course, but we accelerated towards it

The rise of fascism

I grew up in Australia. My cultural heritage (3 to 4 generations back) is mostly Irish and English. It’s safe to say I don’t particularly relate to either of them because until I did my family tree, I couldn’t have told you which sides of my family come from which part of the UK.

And that leaves Australia. But I don’t particularly feel drawn to an Australian identity either, because mainstream Australian culture mostly feels like a generic “Western” culture, with the edges rubbed off. I’m also well aware that the country as it stands today was founded on invasion and genocide, and to this day, is unable to let go of the racism that lead to those events.

So yeah, I’m Australian, but I don’t feel emotionally attached to that identity.

You know, I kinda don’t give a shit if I upset someone who thinks some people don’t deserve the same basic rights they have…

That was my bad. I was espousing federation, not AP specifically, and I see that federation is built in to the idea

It seems to me that activity pub could still be useful for a couple of reasons. If you live in the suburbs of a city, then bring able to also access an instance for your suburb and your city might be useful.

And if you live in multiple locales, or if want to stay connected to your old home town etc

Most instances have rules against bigotry and exclusionary behaviour, which rules out a lot of “statements” from one side…

Your question basically amounts to “Why are people being excluded for holding exclusionary beliefs?”

I use an Apple Magic Trackpad on my desktop, because I liked the macbook touchpad so much! It’s the only Apple product I use these days

I use a touch pad, so I don’t have this problem

Is this “Would I have an LLM do it?” in disguise?

Share the volumes section of your docker compose file

Also, just in case, for pre-existing image collections (rather than one you will manually upload to immich) you need to use the “external libraries” feature in the admin settings. You should be pointing that feature at the docker mount point you have listed in your compose file

The birds in my back yard really seem to love a bath! More so than I do at any rate :)

Immich can search by star rating, but you need to enable the feature as it’s not enabled by default. Go to Account Settings / Features / Star Rating.

After that, it appears in your search options/filters

Installed, still have free RAM… I think I did something wrong…

When it comes to choosing the labels we use for ourselves, if it’s right for you, it’s the right label.

A label doesn’t define you or who you are, a label is an imperfect attempt to communicate who you are to yourself and to the people around you.

If the label is helping you do one or both of those things, it’s the right label.
