Privacy extremists are always very vocal but most people do not care at all about this.

Maybe people have pornography production streams they want to manage using Immmich?

Though, that is a steep price.

My most likely one that I would take is this one: https://jezailfunder.jp

I need a split wireless mechanical keyboard to use with my phone on the go. Anybody have something good?

I realized long ago that this is a complete waste of time and now I'll usually only argue with people for (blood) sport and love of the game but only if I feel like it.

I have a fairly beefy M4/48G but I haven't been able to get any local model to behave anywhere near satisfactorily.

At least the guys got fired. In Germany they probably wouldn't.

Were they ever "special"?

The inbound stuff we get through the vulnerability e-mail is pretty much exclusively spam. Then they start e-mailing random people of the company they can find to get through, and in the end it's still spam.

It's unbelievable what lengths people will go to to hate on this. The article is good, I learned a bunch of stuff and was putting off verb conjugation for a while now.

> Rules for thee but not for me

This pretty accurately describes lots of stuff going on here in Germany as well and well the state of most of our "liberal democracies".

If you're going to go into this direction, it seems like this would become sort of a "Letterboxd list visualizer" which honestly could be pretty cool.

Github should be treated as a toxic waste site. I don't see it ever being secured by Microsoft.

I'm in Berlin where there's a glut of offices which are all sitting empty. I'm living next to a top line historic renovation/office space and it took them 8-9 years to complete the renovation at probably an astronomical cost and now it's been sitting empty for a year or so.

This financial model is also the main reason why it's so hard to convert these buildings to residential. Somebody has to eat the markdown.

> lowering the rent would force a revaluation

Commercial leases are often for say 5+5 years, so once you lock it in, you know for sure what the property revenue is going to be for the next so many years. Your uncertainty equation has collapsed.

I think the main insight here is that commercial real estate is an entirely different animal than the residences that you may be used to.

You can apply this same reasoning to the "back to the office" pushes done on behalf of the institutional investors who have exposure to large commercial properties in inner cities. That too is a financial house of cards built on assumptions and vibes.

> much harder road

Given that we have 2+ in each high street in Berlin, it seems it's not that difficult.

> a larger number of people than we thought are participating in the same delusion

Congratulations, you have just described high finance.
