    crazy how as soon as mozilla does good stuff nobody is there

    We’re all glad to see Mozilla have a win, at least I assume so. But there’s been a lot of other much bigger decisions that have gone on recently that make us (at least me) hesitant to celebrate at the first good thing.

        i downloaded it after the news the other day. Presently uploading >200gb of pictures.

        Android App has a few quirks, not very snappy, but it looks pretty polished.

        The on device ML seems to be pretty accurate once you start tagging people.

        We’ll see how it handles me throwing the 200gb at it because it was already stuttering a bit when scrolling through ~15gb of pics.

        I havent had the chance to spin up an immich instance yet to compare the two.

        All in all, we might need to wait for a longer term user to chime in, but as of now to me it seems good enough.

        Edit: 2 weeks later. I installed immich on a proxmox node with a rtx 2060 super passed through. it flies compared to ente, which is to be expected as immich isnt e2ee. I will most likely maintain both libraries for now, but Immich is definitely a more complete product.

        Very happy Ente user here! It’s a great alternative to Google Photos and Immich (since I think photos are too important to self-host).

        They have an easy guide for migrating from Google Photos (basically they can import a Takeout export directly).

        https://ente.io/faq/migration/from-google-photos/

        I’ve got it installed on my phone with automatic backups enabled. It had no issues with duplicates from both Takeout and the existing photos on my phone. (I even did the upload twice due to running out of space the first time, and there were no dupes). The app has a pretty similar design to Google Photos, so it feels familiar. It also supports Google’s version of “live photos”.

        You can create links to share albums or individual photos, and you can also add people to your plan.

        I enabled the local machine learning analysis and, while it’s not perfect, it does make for a pretty nice searching experience.

    Perhaps if they made decisions like this more often in recent times there would be more people there when they do good stuff.

    Edit: Cool to see someone botting this thread as well. I have now watched on three separate occasions someone vote up on mine and others comments only for a vote down to be applied within 10 seconds - 5 minutes in lockstep each time. This was in the first 15 minutes of the comment being posted.

    2nd Edit. I’ve watched it happen 8 times now actually. I wonder what the odds are that over the course of ~2 hours there is exactly 8 people who agree and exactly 8 who don’t who keep showing up within moments of one another.

    One good thing will not outweigh ten bad ones.

    Also, is this post on Mastodon? How’s Mozilla’s instance doing? I hope well. /s

      One good thing doesn’t even outweigh one bad one. What do you call someone who tells 99 truths and one lie?

      A liar.

      It’s the same here; there’s an asymmetry between doing what’s right and betraying someone’s trust. When Mozilla can demonstrate consistent integrity, maybe I’ll stop using a fork.

            Im glad you decided to copy-paste an overly padded ream of text instead of forming your own opinion, but sure.

            P.2 All ai models used in firefox currently are fully open source.

            P.4 Those models are also ran completely locally. That linked blog refers to an OPT-IN experiment that lets you choose what model you want to use, including non-privacy respecting ones, but this is left up to the user.

            P.10 The two ai features currently in firefox are alt-text generation for blind people and privacy-respecting page translation, i think youd have a hard time justifying why those arent useful.

                the comment is going “grrr ai” i was pointing out that the ai features currently in firefox (translation and alt-text) are local and privacy respecting. You cant just ignore things that dont fit your opinion.

                second, that chatbot thing you’re crying about is OPT IN AND only in nightly, let you choose any chatbot available online, not just the ones they named, and on top of that it most likely will never make it into a non-nightly release, because theyve decided to make that kind of ai feature an extension instead.

                Also, when i say that a model is open source, i am referring to the binary being downloadable and the model weights being freely available.

                You clearly saw the word “ai” and decided that mozilla was as bad as google, without looking into it at all.
