I can often see thumbnails for avif pics and when I click to view it I just get a black screen. If I long press the pic and click on the link it loads in the browser fine. I've gotten used to this and I can detect it pretty fast now since there's no loading bar at the bottom for these. But is there anything that can be done to get these to load with a single click like other image files?

Ran across this on reddit and thought it should come over here

I know AI/LLM hate is strong here, so this is going to get some blow back. But there's a lot of Linux folk on here, so let me frame it this way....

My understand of the Linux/unix design philosophy is building small, efficient programs that do a limited set of tasks very well and that can be strung together with other programs that do other tasks very well. This is in opposition to the " be everything" program concept of Windows and Microsoft Office Suite. At least this is how would describe the difference to non technical friends: Nothing you think of as your OS in windows is actually what Linux is replacing. You're getting the Linux kernel packaged up in a distro that combines a bunch of smaller pieces (file explorer, window manager, etc) that you can still customize from there.

When I look at the approach to AI, I see the same thing. I've dabbled enough in ML/LLMs to know that LLMs are effectively very fancy next word predictors or for the case of image/video GenAI, next pixel predictors. As others have said countless times, there's no consciousness or understanding of the context, but you can ask it things in natural language and it will try to produce whatever you asked for in the same app regardless of context.

From a science project standpoint, this is cool, but it doesn't seem scalable or consistently reproducable and the energy use and easily found blunders seem to support that thought.

So, my question is why is no one building AI with a Linux philosophy? Small purpose built ML models with a language processing/triage model on top? Oh this person has a question about history, send them to the history module. This person wants to edit a photo, send them to the photo editing module. Then let those modules dig deeper from there. That's how we do customer service with real people after all. With this way we could refine each specialization individually instead of having a giant model that consumes tons of resources and is error prone.

Short question: Is there a way to print a list after an upload through the browser of what files were ignored as duplicates and possibly what file they were deemed a duplicate of?

Background: I'm new to Immich. I have a hard drive full of photos that I want to pull into my library. I've always been pretty meticulous about pulling pics off my phone and storing them on this drive. I create a new folder when I pull them and I dump everything currently on the phone into the folder. I'm usually really good about deleting the pics off the phone at this point. I don't have a database to manage it or anything, so it's possible there are duplicates between the folders, but I suspect the numbers to be low. I use Google photos too to back up the phone, but I do this with a lower resolution to save space. So, I consider the hard drive pictures to be the originals and what I want in Immich.

I've been uploading my photos in batches (1 folder at a time). I'm uploading through the browser from the localhost and during the upload Immich is saying sometimes as many as half the files in a folder are duplicates. I get the pop-up toast list of duplicate warnings in the browser, but this isn't useful for more than a handful of duplicates. I'm getting notices that hundreds or even thousands of pics were ignored. I can't find a log anywhere. I have looked at the duplicate tool in utilities, but this seems to be trying to use ML to detect similarities in the photos after they were uploaded. There are only 5 photos in there to review.

I've been having this debate with someone who is a bit of a germaphobe in my view.

Say I have a paper cut on my finger. It's deep enough to bleed initially, but it stops within a couple minutes. Maybe I need a bandaid at first, but after a day or 2, it is past the point where it starts bleeding again if I accidentally hit it or rub it on something. A couple days on, it still has the little flap of skin on it. Later, that goes away, but you can still see where it was. Finally, there is no trace. At what point in this process is the wound effectively closed?

When can you resume normal activities (dish washing, food prep, go in a pool/hot tub, have a dog lick your hand) and not worry about infection?

I've tried using the link option when posting comments and the links never come out right. If i try making the display text different than the link, it seems to be unusable Ex:

If I make the display text the same as the link, then it is clickable, but not highlighted and underlined Ex:

I don't know if it's just me, but I've seen a few product videos like this that are using a variant of the TC Tuggers theme and I always fucking loose it. Starts at the 1:30 mark.
