As a counterexample, thanks to LLMs many long-form articles that get posted with clickbaity (but devoid of content) headlines that I would have ignored otherwise now get "read" (albeit indirectly, with the prompt "Summarize the insights of the article $ARTICLE_URL in an academic, dry, technical and information-dense way")
I'd argue it's not only not inconvenient, but also a great way of keeping your system clean of all the random system-wide dependencies you'll end up accumulating over the years.
Say you have to pick a flight and you take the train to the airport. You can bet your train will be delayed, so if it ever happens at least you'll get a payout.
I'm like you, and a big fan of Pigallery2 precisely for its simplicity. But it turns out that Immich does support external libraries, so you can keep your manual file management in your filesystem and still use Immich for efficient indexing, face recognition, quick picture retrieval by year, location, people etc...
I'd recommend you try Immich (there's a docker compose version) and if you don't like it, you can just remove it and move on.
> If there's one that I really need to be on, I'm going to spin up a VM on my computer so that it has no idea of the other files laying around, such as my ~/passcodes.csv. If you are such a negligent bullhead as to get me onto your call, you'll be unable to see me because my VM cannot access my camera! By design! Same for my microphone, so I'll plug in a USB mic if I really need to speak up. More likely than not though, I'm exhausted by now. I'll spend the full duration of the call eeking a small echo of pleasure from the continuation of this rambling alarm, for your sheepish audience to rub their enablist shame in.
This is written in an edgy tone but it's pretty much SOP with QubesOS. Why would you install _anything_ in your main VM? Not just Zoom, but anything you import in a deep dependency graph can access your figurative ~/passcodes.csv anyway.
I agree with Dijkstra on this one: “The question of whether a computer can think is no more interesting than the question of whether a submarine can swim.”
Serious question: can you point out some serious complaints? They seem to have an exhaustive justification for their reasons to only support Pixels, see https://grapheneos.org/faq#future-devices
