    I think clickable links in the markdown would be great, at least as an option. Even if they would break when the original file is moved.

    I’m not sure how exactly timelinize stores photos, but you could sync photos as you take them to timelinize, and then, if they are accessible, point immich to the timelinize photos…

    I want to be able to do all these same kinds of searches too. Especially layering on searches, like what you said about how the search ideally could be bookmarked and searched on. …

    What’s this updatable BitTorrent protocol? I wished for something like this years ago as an auto-updating torrent for downloading Wikipedia with live (or daily or whatever) changes…

    One more update: it’s a UZ801, with the Qualcomm MSM8916 chipset (according to `adb shell getprop ro.product.model` etc, and the fact that openstick works). I got it running Debian…

    Just wanted to update that I got this in the mail today. Not bad—6 days from order to delivery, all for just over a dollar. I haven’t tried to hack it at all yet. Here are photos: …

    I think this is a joke but it’s interesting to note that Amish people have essentially this. https://www.newarkadvocate.com/story/news/2022/09/30/ohios-a...

    This is a good critique, and I’ve been wondering the same ever since watching that TED talk. Still. I’m not sure it’s much worse (or worse at all) than what we have right now, at l…

    I just bought one for $1.07 US with free shipping. I was buying with a new account so I probably got that discount. But even so, before buying I got $2.99 the first time I loaded t…

    Sorry, I wasn’t very clear. I didn’t mean the overthrow of the government was democratic. I was referring to the people in the discord server choosing a new leader.
