Breeders will always exist, and so will their customers, as they always have. If it's only financially viable for breeders to be held accountable for their actions, that's another way of keeping dogs out of shelters. I'd rather live in a world where breeders always adopt their dogs back, always ensure they find a home instead of overwhelming shelters, charities and communities work together to make owning dogs more affordable so they don't get relinquished during financial stress, AND shelters exist. In a world where shelters are the only hope for dogs, dogs are left behind.

Nobody posted any slogans until you did. It's perfectly reasonable to reply with civilized discourse.

Unilaterally proposing a single solution to a complex societal issue while insulting dog owners is problematic and does more harm than good. "Adopt and shop responsibly" doesn't offend anyone who bought a dog and might make someone ask, "What does it mean to shop responsibly?" instead of buying a dog on Craigslist. Dogs deserve more respect from people, which requires treating all people with more respect.

"Adopt, don't shop" can lead to more animal abuse. It doesn't teach anyone about what a responsible breeder is if they are determined to buy, nor does it educate people on how to find a responsible shelter. Responsible breeders ensure none of the dogs go to a shelter. The message is disrespectful to responsible breeders and owners, and does nothing but alienate people who have had a dog or work to improve their health.

Please say Adopt and shop responsibly instead.

Agreed.

"Prequel armor" is like super plot armor because you know the character will never die. At least with plot armor you might wonder if it will eventually get removed.

I'm never worried for them when Galadriel or Elrond are on screen because I know they'll be just fine and live happily ever after.

I feel the same for Spock in strange new worlds.

Immich is not stable yet. But as soon as it is, I'm using it to replace all of my galleries.

It doesn't use OCR but it uses CLIP which accidentally unreliably does tag text like you would want once the images are server side.

There is discussion on GitHub about adding OCR so I imagine sometime after a stable it could be a feature.

Immich appears to have the most active development of all the FOSS gallery and backup apps.

So don't use it now, but keep an eye on it for the future.

Too many cooks is the best wrong answer. Must resisted watching this again.

Why should these things be free? The other things we get for free on the web are either supported by donations or they harvest something from you that's valuable and sell it, that's not free either.

I'm into the idea of paying for higher quality services and have enjoyed my kagi trial. Might see if I can find someone to split an account with.
