I understand the frustration; almost nowhere does agile “right”. However, this is a gross misrepresentation of the philosophy.

Specifically it leaves out and ignores this very important part:

That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.

As seen on agilemanifesto.org

The base philosophy is meant to remind us what we are here to do: make software (or whatever project we’re working on), not become dogmatic about processes or tools or get bogged down in peripheral documentation.

Immich will be funded by an optional purchase in the near future. Since I can’t find anything else, my best guess is some portion of that goes to FUTO. But it is just a guess. I also couldn’t find any specifics on FUTO’s funding.

I’ve never heard of FUTO before and it sounds a little too good to be true. It looks like they have made some grants to other big projects. I like what they’re saying to the point that it seems too good to be true.

Does anyone know if this is a legit organization and if it has staying power?

Either way getting further progress on Immich, hopefully moving towards real stability, is very exciting!

Nice very solid answer. I didn’t understand it was a replacement OS. Do you have a browser?

I’d love an e-reader with a browser. Nothing fancy, just something for looking up lore or related topics while reading.

So the obvious question, how does this compare to KOReader? That’s had a long, stable life and, at first glance, seems to have the same goals. I didn’t see any kind of acknowledgement or comparison in the wiki.

Also, “What to Expect in the First Year” (or something close to that). We found it very helpful as a reference text when we were freaking out about something as new parents do lol.

Well not sure what was different this time but it fired right up after install.

I didn’t test extensively but the controller support seemed to work reasonably well. I just played through Mos Eisley and nearly got gold even with a little delay on figuring out controls.

There are definitely some tweaks to the control scheme I’ll want to make - it doesn’t follow modern conventions very well (e.g. the fire button isn’t any of the trigger/shoulder buttons). The only issue I noticed is if I accelerated, the camera didnt always keep up. I’m not sure what exactly is causing that. I’ll have to play with settings later to see if I can get it right.

IMO, much better than keyboard though, for my preference anyway.

Unrelated to the controller, it doesn’t want to use the right sound output and I can’t figure out how to control that. In my setup a fairly minor inconvenience. I might be able to figure that out when I get more time to mess with it.

I know I’m a little off-topic but I’ve been trying on and off to get this game to work for years. Are you playing on Windows? I can’t get it to start up properly. Any tips?

If I can get it working, I do have an xbox controller for my PC and would be happy to share my experience!

I tried to avoid Calibre for as long as I could. In my opinion, it’s way too opinionated about how everything is organized. Instead of working with you, the user, it forces you into line with how the developer thinks it should work. The developer is also kind of an ass to his community and, as a dev myself, I have some concerns over some of their choices.

All that said, I finally gave in recently and converted to Calibre because there’s nothing else that works as well. It’s too niche of a space for there to be much competition. To use it remotely - or, more accurately for my use, headless - the docker image I use sets up a VNC viewer to work with the application.

For actually browsing the content that Calibre organizes, I settled on Kavita. There’s no competition for Calibre’s organization but Kavita is easily the best content browser I’ve tried. If you’ve organized and tagged your ebooks with Calibre, it does a great job of making them available on the web and offers an OPDS server as well as the web viewer. I am more into ebooks than comics or manga but I have a few that Kavita also manages well.

Oh! I didn’t know audiobookshelf could do ebooks. It doesn’t look like it has an OPDS server which is my primary use case.

Does it require a particular folder structure? That might explain why I have trouble finding books sometimes. Kavita knows about them but search can’t always find them.

I don’t like this but it seems like it is an accurate application of law (IANAL), right?

The right place to fix this is in the company’s policies and in the laws in the first place.

Of course, making those company policies more clear and available is important too. Even by TOS standards, I can’t imagine many people have read it for their car.

Gitea is FOSS under the MIT license. Is the title just phrased oddly? They do offer hosting for profit but I thought the software met the definition of FOSS.

It’s not even a dual boot. You can enable a linux access from ChromeOS that is essentially the full install. Shell access as well as GUI apps.

I have used it with a lot of success. The initial startup of the sandbox is a bit slow and I seemed to run out of space quickly on mine but for light work it’s definitely usable.

Ah gotcha, thanks!

Sorry if this is a dumb question but what does reproducible mean in this context? I’m a little confused by the discussion here.
