"I refuse to accept progress if it's not perfect progress"
Is what you're effectively stating here.
Cmon, really? I have this argument with my toddler when he asks for something like a rip off a loaf of bread. He wants the whole loaf, he can't have the whole load, so he gets a choice: The piece you can have, or nothing.
So. Would you rather have this progress, or nothing? That's your choice, and right now it sounds a whole lot like you would rather have no progress?
I didn't really mention immich directly here.
This is a problem which is endemic to casual software development like many FOSS projects. It's a reality of how free software tends to be built in general vs commercial software.
The issue here is that these are solvable problems, release compat isn't a new problem. It's just a problem that takes dedicated effort to solve for, just like any other feature.
This is something FOSS apps tend to lack simply due to the nature of how contributions tend to work for free software. Which is an unfortunate reality, but a reality none the less.
You would, but if there's no reason for them to spend the money on it why?
This is what regulation is for, and it needs to have teeth.
People really underestimate the value of stability and predictability.
There are some amazing FOSS projects out there ran by folks who don't give a crap about stability or the art of user experience. It holds them back, and unfortunately helps drive a fragmented ecosystem where we get 2,3,5 major projects all trying to do the same thing.
I like how many of the new top level comments on here are going the way of Reddit already.
One-liners trying to be funny or make puns instead of actually engaging in conversation, indistinguishable from bots. :(
Just because you don't want it doesn't mean others don't.
And just because you don't know much about the actual tech product itself doesn't mean that it's as narrow as you consider it to be.
There is a ton of vapid hype that everyone including myself is getting sick and tired of. I'm more than happy to recognize that. However, there are still real world problems and continued advancements being made daily.
It's not all about LLMs either, there are many other types of science being done to develop improve and augment various other flavors of artificial intelligence. This has been a pretty constant trend for at least the last 10 years, we've just had a recent explosion in language capabilities with the introduction of generative AI. Thus fueling the hype.
That's a really weird stance that I keep seeing on here which is to be proud of being ignorant. Being proud of hating something without actually understanding what it is. Being proud of not knowing how something works so that you can be more contrare.
Have you ever used something they made? Did it meet your standard of being “good work”?
I mean you're ignorance of the products that they build or work on doesn't precipitate their badness. Let's start with the entire developer ecosystem that they have their hands deep in, it's a pretty damn good ecosystem.
You probably need to check your bias because it's leaking, negatively affecting your decision making.
Any company of this size is going to have shit products great products and literally thousands and tens of thousands of projects in between. You seem to be familiar with one product line, of hundreds or even thousands.
Nfts were a scam from the start something that has no actual purpose utility or value being given value through hype.
Generative AI is very different. In my honest opinion you have to have your head in the sand if you don't believe that AI is only going to incrementally improve and expand in capabilities. Just like it has year over year for the last 5 to 10 years. And just like for the last decade it continues to solve more and more real-world problems in increasingly effective manners.
It isn't just constrained to llms either.
Because the majority of my traffic and services are internal with internal DNS? And I want valid HTTPS certs for them, without exposing my IP in the DNS for those A records.
If I don't care about leaking my IP in my a records then this is pretty easy. However I don't want to do this for various reasons. One of those being that I engage in security related activities and have no desire to put myself at risk by leaking.
Even services that I exposed to the internet I still don't want to have my local network traffic go to the internet and back when there is no need for that. SSL termination at my own internal proxy solves that problem.
I now have this working by using the cloudflare DNS ACME challenge. Those services which I exposed to the internet cloudflare is providing https termination for, cloudflare is then communicating with my proxy which also provides https termination. My internal communication with those services is terminated at my proxy.
I stated in the OP that this is off :/
And like all android updates, it's guaranteed to be worse than it was.
Everything's getting shittier.
