Patreon?

Looks like it’s not really designed to be self hosted yet. So, if you’re self hosting, Immich is still probably the way.

People keep saying it performs miles better than Nextcloud (which performs like shit in my experience, even on capable hardware). But I haven’t tried OwnCloud yet.

Isn’t OpenOffice deprecated or mostly abandoned? I’m sure it will works, though.

Do you need smaller words? OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE IS OLDER THAN THE OSI.

You speak very confidently of things that happened long before you were born. If you actually read the article, I wouldn’t have to spell this out for you. OSI was founded in 1998, and “open source” was a term coined in the 1980s.

I could form the Spaghetti Source Initiative tomorrow and claim that all open source code is now called Spaghetti Source, and you wouldn’t give a shit about that, would you?

Stallman was a champion of open source software and free software (which were always two different things) long before OSI formed.

The difference between “open source” and “FOSS” has already been discussed to death: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.en.html

Don’t equate the two terms; they’re not the same. You can argue that they should be the same, but unfortunately it’s too late. Words are all made up and they mean what people decide they mean. In this case, “open source” means that the source is open, and nothing more.

Uhhhhh I also disagree with @[email protected], but I want to make clear that it’s for different reasons and I’m not associated with this moron.

That is a definition proposed in 2006 by one organization (The Open Source Initiative) that has little authority on the matter. Open source software in various forms existed LONG before 2006, so unfortunately they can’t retcon what it has always meant. Here’s some light reading on the subject, courtesy of Richard Stallman: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.en.html

tl;dr: Don’t say “open source” if you really mean FOSS.

This is the “Open Source” community, not the “FOSS” community. If you’re going to hang around here, you should familiarize yourself with the difference between the two.

It is absolutely open source, simply because the definition of “open source” is vague and poorly defined. That’s why we have stricter definitions, like FOSS, and this is definitely not FOSS. They’re pretty transparent about that, and they made their reasons clear, whether you like them or not. But GrayJay’s source is open; you can audit it, download it, and even compile it yourself if you want. So please don’t say it’s “not really open source” because that’s false.

Holy shit this is great. So it’s not FOSS, but it is OSS. And they’re not forcing you to pay, they’re just asking, without DRM or anything.

I installed it, hooked up my YouTube and Nebula accounts, and it works fine. It’s a LOT more stable than I expected. Odyssee works too, and no crashes yet. I immediately paid the $10 for a license. I love the stuff Louis does, and I’m absolutely willing to fund it.

Calibre is how people do this. Install it on a PC or Mac, and it can easily send books to your Kindle and convert to the right format automatically.

But yes, you can also drag and drop to USB like you’re asking. You just gotta make sure you drop on the right format (or use Calibre).

I just started using it an hour ago and I already paid the $3.50 for ad free (one time purchase, by the way) and I’m uninstalling all other apps I was trying. Liftoff, Jerboa, Thunder, Connect… All dead to me. 😆
