I feel like this is a case of not wanting to do the “difficult” thing because it sounds difficult when really avoiding the “difficult” thing is more difficult than just doing the “difficult” thing.
I was replacing the power steering rack on my P2 Volvo XC70 recently. I really didn’t want to drop the subframe because that sounded like a lot of work. Eventually I realized dropping the subframe was the easier way to get the power steering rack out and, in the end, it was way easier to just drop the subframe. It was like 10 more bolts and wasn’t that hard to put back. In this analogy, Immich is dropping the subframe, just do it.

The dating app kinda reminds me of gambling. Gambling is selling the hope of being rich. Dating apps are selling the hope of finding a partner.

on Sony Implements New Customer Harassment Policy Following Backlash Toward Its Plans to Stop Making Physical Game Discs in c/games@lemmy.world · 4 Sep 2026
I don’t think any game should be $100. That said, I am in a position to spend more, and totally would on GTA6. I don’t think it should be $100, let alone more, as many people around the US and world are not in that position right now and with the money printing machine that is GTAO, not to mention the number of copies they’ll sell, they don’t need to charge that much.
When I get my hands on the used Series X I probably will pre-order the day before launch, in order to wait as long as possible for a disk launch announcement.

I do write stuff down. In my password manager so it’s always with me all the time and is much more difficult to gain access to than if I were carrying around a notepad. Also, I ain’t got pockets for that, and I’m not buying a wardrobe of cargo pants.

I’ve been checking near me and a used Series X is about the same as a PS5, especially if you want a disk edition PS5. The main thing giving me pause is the fact that I won’t be able to buy a disk and sell that along with the console. Ugh.

GTA6 is not a Playstation exclusive. You could buy a Xbox instead. It’s what I’m going to do, used, mostly because I already have an Elite controller. Hell, just buy a PS5 used, and resell it when GTA6 comes out on PC. Sony wouldn’t see a dime of yours.

on Audacity 4.0 is finally out! in c/technology@lemmy.world · 3 Sep 2026
I don’t like it on desktop but goddamn, it sucks even more on mobile. I was swiping to scroll through the stupid horizontal menu and then when I got to the bottom of it, turns out I was scrolling so fast I basically teleported to the bottom of the page.

Obligatory mention of CoMaps. Open source, as free, etc.

on Any good file sync server with web interface other than Nextcloud? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world · 1 Sep 2026
As always, I want to note that seafile is not compatible with existing files, you can’t just point it at a directory, you have to upload them to seafile, and then you can only access them via seafile (at least that’s how I understand it, correct me if I’m way off base).

File Browser Quantum is AWESOME, I’m shocked I don’t hear about it more often.

Last I checked Organic Maps has the exact same UI… And the devs are great, hence the CoMaps team forking it.

I adore cruise control. I would literally sell that car if I had it. (or get a scan tool that can make that change permanant). What car is that?

on Do Amber Alerts for Missing Kids Actually Work? | The Walrus in c/technology@lemmy.world · 22 Aug 2026
I didn’t mean I wanted them off, I just wanted to be able to tell my phone to stop yelling at me and still read the alert.

on Do Amber Alerts for Missing Kids Actually Work? | The Walrus in c/technology@lemmy.world · 21 Aug 2026
My main issue with Amber Alerts is that they’re not mutable. If my phone is screaming at me, I’m going to hit mute before reading what’s on the phone. When I hit mute, the alert is gone. It’s simply nowhere to be found. I can’t read it in my notifications panel. It’s gone.
It needs to show up as both an alert AND a notification. It’s crazy that this isn’t standard (in android, at least).

They were saying they were concerned about fire risk with their non-battery setup. They brought up this setup as if it’d alleviate that risk.

A 40Kwh battery is like 10 grand, I’m not sure why you brought that up. I’d be more likely to invest in a second battery and solar panel. It’s been up for over 23 weeks right now, I’d guess a second solar panel and battery could keeping it up nearly 100% of the time, and it’d cost under $100 for a 200wh battery and 30w panel.

Yeah, I’m not sure what relation that has to this solar powered website.

So… You’re saying that if there’s no power the website goes down.

on YouTube announces monetization changes that make it harder for new creators to make money in c/technology@lemmy.world · 12 Aug 2026
As someone who is currently monetized with 5000 watch hours in the past year, I’m super mixed on this. On the one hand, I’m only making like 30 bucks per month, basically nothing, so I can see how YouTube would want to reduce overhead. On the other hand, that $30 bucks per month is a nice little bonus. I’d still be creating without it, but it is nice to have, and, YouTube already doesn’t pay out until you hit $100, so that oughtta reduce most of the overhead. It seems like it’d be a better solution to just raise that to a $200 minimum or something. You’re probably right, it might just be greed.
Putting ads on these creator’s videos AND not paying creators is wild though, no matter how small the channel is.
Side note: Am I at risk of becoming un-monetized?? I know it’s possible.
Side note the second: I host my own instance of PeerTube for my videos - joeltube.com

Ahh, gotcha, yeah. That’ll definitely happen. Idk if I’ll bother looking for the leaks though, I’ll probably just watch it when R* releases it so I can view it in HD and whatnot.

6 hours is not a long time anywhere. If they told me GTA6 was coming out on PC 6 hours after the console release, I’d be stoked. Honestly, 6 hours of exclusivity is whatever. I’m actually buying a console for GTA6, that’s how excited I am, and I could not care less.

Yeah, Walmart is the last stop after Costco and Winco for us. We usually grab like 5 things.
You want a timeline feed viewable via web and an app. Immich does that. I don’t get it.
