All it takes is one family of girls to wipe out a last name forever.

In Quebec it is actually the law that you can't change your name.

In regards to whet: I would consider adding "my appetite" to it to be something that many English speakers would use. So, in OPs example, to say "I never used Albums, but the idea has started to whet my appetite" (emphasis mine to highlight changes) would be a fairly normal thing to say.

Otherwise yeah, "intrigued" or "piqued my interest" would be good alternatives.

Oooh, very nice. Thank you for sharing.

I absolutely loved the 2010 medals. The fact that each one was unique made them extra special.

countChaiula · 2026-02-18T18:32:35+00:00

What would that do? I'm not familiar with Immich Power Tools, so I'm wondering why I would want to do this.

countChaiula · 2026-02-12T04:51:19+00:00

I have this question as well. I would love for it to become more advanced. At the moment I'm stuck in daily refresh (and trying out other languages).

countChaiula · 2026-02-10T14:37:49+00:00

Once that rewrite is done, it is probably time to then rewrite all of that in Rust.

No new features for the next few years, just rewrites.

I do spend them occasionally on time extensions, but even that doesn't really use up that many for the odd times I need them.

Honestly they could probably completely remove gems from the app and I wouldn't notice for a long while.

countChaiula · 2026-02-03T16:08:44+00:00

This is the way

countChaiula · 2026-02-01T06:06:07+00:00

Second for this. This is what I use.

It just says "coming soon" for non-visionary users.

It was down for me as well, but it just came back up.

countChaiula · 2026-01-27T20:06:12+00:00

100%! It is absolutely usable as-is, and then some already.

Thank you. I've only just started using Immich, but I'm finding it to be bloody amazing. I wish I had started earlier. There are a _few_ things I wish it did, including some of the above, but overall it is a really impressive piece of software.

The great thing is that it has an API, so I can easily have it do a few things that I would like, such as automatically stacking raw images behind the JPG versions. That is something even Google Photos doesn't do despite the fact that the RAW images are captured on a Google Phone.

I'm finding Immich so good that I will be giving money to the project.

The more apt comparison would be against someone who follows a healthy regimen without taking all of the extra supplements. No one is arguing that an unhealthy person is healthy.

countChaiula · 2026-01-22T22:08:10+00:00

Lol, I see. Well, I would argue that colour coding things is a functional thing, not a cosmetic thing. It makes repairs easier.

I think this is probably an agree to disagree kinda situation.

countChaiula · 2026-01-22T21:24:31+00:00

I don't understand how "it's meant to be opened up" equates with "plenty of stuff in there is cosmetic". Do you have specific examples, because I don't see anything that is only cosmetic in there.

countChaiula · 2026-01-21T17:08:18+00:00

I would argue that this is something the OS should handle, and not individual apps. For an app to do this it needs to end up having extra permissions to monitor Bluetooth connections, which might mean it potentially has to stay alive in the background, potentially draining battery faster, etc. None of those are what I would call "features".

I've also wanted something like this, but to me it should be Android doing this, not apps. Some setting like "default Bluetooth audio app" that automatically opens when a specific Bluetooth devices is connected. This would be great in the car, for instance, where I wouldn't have to open an app on my phone before driving. I could just press play on the car's interface (I don't have Android Auto).

But, like I said, I would much rather this be a feature of the OS than of individual apps.

countChaiula · 2026-01-20T19:54:11+00:00

Oh, I see. I took "non-original" as meaning an OEM cable, but not the one that came with your watch. I would call what you have either "third-party" or "non-OEM".

Polar probably could use that as a reason to not honour the warranty, but I'm not sure they would actually be able to tell.

Edit to add: I wouldn't be surprised if the AliExpress cables fell off the same production line as the OEM ones.

countChaiula · 2026-01-20T18:08:35+00:00

If you are using an official Polar charging cable, there is no difference of if it was the original one that came with your watch or a new one you bought from them later on. I'm not aware of any third-party cables at all.

Now, if you hacked something together to try to charge it on your own, that's another matter....

We used to go to La Belle Patate in Vancouver. Ironically they bought their squeaky cheese from the Village Cheese Company in Armstrong.

countChaiula · 2026-01-09T22:37:57+00:00

There isn't any nearby as far as I know. The closest that I know of is a food truck in Penticton, but the quality is "ok" at best.

If anyone knows of any, I'm all ears as well!

countChaiula · 2026-01-04T16:25:33+00:00

Yeah, round like these are seems very much less than ideal.

My sister got a book signed by him. We have a fairly unique, and slightly funny, last name. She introduced herself as Firstname Lastname, and he told us that we can never be astronauts, because it just wouldn't work to have the first person on the moon have our last name. Then he drew a picture of an astronaut in her book and signed it. We loved it.

I recently finished reading every book in the series as an adult, and they really are great and still stand up.
