Russian parliament bans gender reassignment surgery for trans people

Reply in thread

I googled it after reading your comment cause I realized I didn't actually know what it meant.

There were a few definitions but I'm guessing this is the one the person you're replying to meant:

"deliberately attempt to conceal unpleasant or incriminating facts about (someone or something)."

Idk why they thought someone calling out Nazis for spending resources on the Holocaust up until the very end meant that people are whitewashing Nazis though.

Is it ok to go "all in" into Apple ecosystem?

I try to find cross platform options for any software. I moved from Android to iOS a few years ago and always think I may move back so it's nice to keep options open. That being said though, the apple ecosystem works so well with everything within it I sometimes double pay for services just to also have the convenience that comes with the ecosystem.

Google raising price of YouTube Premium to $13.99 per month

Reply in thread

Yeah, got YouTube music after they shut down Google play music. All my friends dog on me for not having Spotify but not having ads on iOS is so nice. I tried it once without youtube premium subscription and idk how people can sit through advertisment hell for every video.

Also having the creators I watch get a larger share of the YouTube money pie cause I watch them as a YouTube premium sub is a nice feeling too.

That being said though, I'm on a family plan and not this specific plan that got its price raised (although I'm pretty sure the family plan prices have also gone up recently if I remember right).

Immich and storage location

Reply in thread

Yeah the only thing I'll need to backup will just be the photos. This machine is just gonna run Ubuntu server so I can try out a bunch of other self hostable services for fun. I'll take a look into Borg though! Always appreciate any suggestions.

[Self Promo] ‎GameButler: Game Tracker

Is there an import/export backup feature of the data? One of the biggest hold backs for me when installing an app that'll take me some time to set up is the fear I might have to restart if it gets abandoned.

Also, $8 one time payment is totally fine in my opinion. It's a one time payment and probably a useful app.
