  • Alright, I know nothing about this person or the song, but I went to read the article to see where it says she is an “anti-vaxxer” and a “musk fan”, as well as “against Israel’s genocide”:

    In the song, May rails against “big pharma,” a “man-made virus,” “cancel culture,” and a war that she brands “genocide.”

    This is the only passage I could find that remotely hints about her stance about those things and I see the controversial “man-made virus” line, but that just means she believes the virus was man-made, e.g. it came from Wuhan’s lab, which is a hypothesis that was seriously considered, though still found less likely than the zoonotic one.

    Nothing there says she’s against vaccines. It does say she’s against Israel’s genocide though, assuming that’s the war being referred here (lyrics seem to confirm that).

    Searching for “vax” or “vaccine” in the entire article yields nothing.

    Searching for “musk” yields this verse in the lyrics:

    Mr. Musk, he said some s***, the lefts are angry

    Which… doesn’t seem to imply she’s a fan either (she might be, mind you, but one can’t conclude that from this article).

    So, when reading an article, let’s not extrapolate beyond what’s reasonable.




  • From the article:

    It’s unclear whether that will change under Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee to run the US Department of Health and Human Services. Kennedy has called for getting rid of dyes and other ingredients linked to cancer that can be found in food and has said the US needs tougher regulators that aren’t as close to the industries they police.

    I guess even a broken clock is right twice a day … hopefully he makes that happens.


  • And you don’t have your notification bar on the phone full of upload errors?

    I get a bunch of upload errors for photos that I delete or move before nextcloud has a chance to upload them, those are safe to ignore. Not sure which errors you’re getting…

    Can you get to older photos in under an hour, while Nextcloud slowly loads one thumbnail per second?

    Forget about the plain nextcloud photos app, use the Memories app (incl. the android app).

    Not as good as immich, from what I understand, but if you already have nextcloud, or need more than just photos, it works well.

    It is really unbeleviable how there are some people for whom Nextcloud just works, and the rest of us.

    It’s definitely not perfect, but since I was able to set it up to work well for me, I’m keeping it, at least until I have time to install immich and figure out how to sync the two (and maybe get a more powerful server to use its ML features). I’m currently running it off of a decade old chromebox …


  • I have years worth of photos backed up from my phone (android) on Nextcloud, it’s working pretty well… but it matters how you set up the auto upload and a few other things, and I’mnot claiming it’s without issues.

    For example, I set it to move files into Nextcloud’s folder after uploading, so they appear as locally synced, and can be deleted to free up space if needed (maybe even automatically, not sure). Also, I set it to also upload existing files, because since they get moved, anything that’s still there clearly needs to be uploaded.

    There are a few issues viewing media from the app, sometimes, but I use the Memories app :)

    I’ve been meaning to try immich, looks pretty good, but I use Nextcloud for much more than just photos, so I’d have to keep both and have them sync somehow, and I’m not sure how to do that.





  • after doctors made sure he wasn’t in a life-threatening condition, he was moved to the waiting room, where he sat for six hours before deciding to pack up and go home.

    I don’t know why they’re trying to spin it as a difference from the US system.

    I had the same exact experience in the US. multiple times. You go to the ER, for whatever reason, they look at you and, unless you’re literally bleeding to death you’re gonna be told to wait many many hours.

    So, I guess Canada is the same on this, but at least they won’t send you a huge bill to pay.
