Open source alternative to Adobe Lightroom

3. doesnt have time, unassigns themselves

Because someone else took over, as the person even says in a comment.

4. Priority gets set lower

Priority got set back to the priority it was at 4 minutes before. The priority being changed was clearly a mistake.

5. A guy wants to work on it
6. That guy doesnt work at Mozilla anymore

OK?

7. The bug went from priority P5 to P1 and doesnt block anything anymore

It got retriaged. There are processes for this and it's totally normal.

This is really bad. Especially as it seems like not that big of a change.

No it really isn't bad at all. And it's a massive change, the linked bug is a meta bug which means it is simply used to track the actual work. See all the bugs in the depends on section? That's where the real work happens and there has been a ton of progress made.

Also believe it or not, lots of discussion happens outside of bugs. You really have no idea what is going on just by looking at bug activity.

For that use case, go syncthing. Nextcloud would be overkill. I run both, I use syncthing for my personal files and Nextcloud when they should be shared with others.

I don't hate Apple in terms of privacy. I hate Apple for a myriad of other reasons. Mostly related to locked down ecosystems.

Certain events like marathon swimming and triathlon can't be done in a pool.

It's a fantastic idea in principle. We've just neglected the most important ingredient: oversight

Ah, yeah I guess you can't browse your photos using a file system view. I just meant that it won't automatically reorganize your pictures on the file system.

However you can create albums via an API call. You could probably write a script that adds each folder to an album or something.

It definitely can, it's called an "external library". I just added my entire photo collection and use Immich as a frontend to view them all

Yeah that's fair.. Bad example :p

It's like a vicious cycle:

1. People are tech illiterate
2. Tech companies design things for the lowest common denominator.
3. People don't need to learn anything new and become even more tech illiterate

AI is going to make it so much worse. You'll soon be in the top 5% if you have a keyboard app installed on your phone.

In politics all parties are bad, each in their own unique way. It's just that they can be bad to vastly differing degrees.

Unfortunately lots of people struggle with continuums and see only black and white.

Ugh

To be happy

I fully agree with everything you said. I too have contributed countless hours to open source for personal enjoyment or for the good of the community and never been paid a cent.

The thing I lament is this sense I've seen in some circles that accepting donations or getting paid is somehow shameful. That the mere act of being compensated somehow diminishes the contribution. You can be paid and do it for the love of coding and do it for the benefit of everyone.

Everyone has the right to refuse payment, and people who do's wishes need to be respected. And I don't know the beliefs of the Jellyfin devs. But to me, a post like this feeds into that vague feeling that being paid somehow makes your contributions less "pure" or "desirable", than if you're solely doing it for fun or selfless reasons.

It's my strong belief that for open source alternatives to truly take off and go toe to toe with big tech, there needs to be a robust funding model underpinning it. If we as a community even see accepting donations as somehow "lesser than", what chance do we have of ever getting there?

This series would be ripe for new plot and characters every season Fargo style. Too bad they'll never do it.

Who are these people who think it's unethical to get paid for your work? It blows my mind that that could even be an accusation.

Oh for sure. I don't think anyone is arguing that they don't have the right to ask people to stop sending them money. But we can still criticize that position. I'm not sure they've thought through the message they are sending.

Yeah exactly. I'm calling BS that the thrill of the chase is the main motivator. Maybe it is for a handful, but for the most part people just like to be dickheads.

How can costs only be $600 / month. Do they not pay themselves? I guess that's admirable, but it doesn't set a good precedent. Will any young developers read this and internalize that they shouldn't ask for money? OSS maintainers deserve to get paid for their efforts.
