I wonder if they take into account the fact that if there are no bus routes (or less of them) there is a certain population of people that won't be able to work, and those worker pay taxes and put money back into the economy. Probably impossible to know what the effect is in total and I wouldn't be surprised if its not part of the TCO formula.

SAME, what the heck. I know there's one in GUAM of all places...

Neat! Might look at this next time I need a JSON parser in C.

I've been using cJSON[0] for years now and am pretty happy with it. I had used wjelement[1] before that but ran into a few issues and eventually moved away from it (can't recall why exactly its been so long.)

> I developed a few apps for Ubuntu Touch, but it's always very far behind Ubuntu. They are about to release 24.04.

That's actually interesting and good to know. Last I looked at Ubuntu Touch they were so far behind I assumed they weren't active. I didn't realize they just lag a lot.

I thought Ubuntu Touch forked from Ubuntu and was called UbPorts?

You're not the only one Louis Rossman has a video about this very topic that I saw when I was considering placing an order.

Librem 5 looked promising but last I looked into it, the company seemed kinda sus: https://youtu.be/wKegmu0V75s?si=dyM-FP6JBP_6emm9

I haven't watched that video, but I've seen the comments from unhappy people over the years.

I don't know if we'll ever get the full story, but I imagine it was either that or go insolvent. I'm guessing they tied up all the preorder money, and the delays put them between a rock and a hard place.

They handled it poorly, but I think they're on top of everything now.

As far as Linux phones go there's not many options left and so they're still on the table. If they'd have just came out and said "Sorry, we tied up all the preorder money, and the delays put us between a rock and a hard place." I'd have more respect for it but they responded to Louis Rossman's video in the weirdest way I could imagine and that _really_ turned me off from buying a device from them.

You make it sound great to be honest (I'm sure its not though.) How have you survived without income?

I keep my iPhone until it is no longer usable (Fingerprint sensor on my iPhone 6 eventually stopped working, my iPhone X had the battery swell up and bend the case) when this happens and I need a new phone, My wife gets whatever the latest one is and I take her old one (yes, my current iPhone 11 pro is rose gold... I don't care, slap a case on it.)

I give 0 shits about my phone, I actually loathe that I need one at all.

What are some good Open Source / Self Hosted alternatives to Apple Photos (Desktop)? I pretty much keep my Mac Mini around solely to import photos from our phones, free up space on the phone, and backup the Photos DB. We like to go back and look at old photos from time to time too, and the feature that shows them on a map is a big one for us.

Last time I looked (pre-COVID) there wasn't a lot of promising options, and some didn't support HEIF images

Immich.app, with their import from iCloud CLI command to seed it: https://github.com/simulot/immich-go#from-icloud-sub-command

Another commenter mentioned this and it look promising, thanks!

I'm fond of digikam https://www.digikam.org/ it's simple enough for most users and has complex features for more advanced users its open source cross platform and doesn't do some weird rearranging of files so you can still use your file browser too.

This looks pretty cool, I'll take a closer look at this one, thanks!

Immich could solve what you are looking for. It supports wireless upload to the server, everything is stored locally and it has some neat additional features.

Looks pretty cool, this might be the ticket. Thanks!

I use and enjoy PhotoPrism. It's open source and self hosted. It has the map view. It accepts imports via WebDAV, or you can manage files completely manually without using the import feature.

It's strictly for looking and exploring old photos. It doesn't do photo editing (except metadata editing), nor do I expect it to.

Thanks, I'll take a look at this one too.
