Honestly I'm done with Google Photos, I mean I get that it was free and that I shouldn't complain about that, but I already pay with my privacy, so why pay money and have my data abused everywhere I go?

I now have a home server (second hand mac mini m2) with PhotoPrism installed

I've tried them a long time ago, before moving to another OS because they had some features that VanillaOS was still developing. I'm going to give it another shot now that the stable v2 is out!

Found it! This was the irl pic we had it based on. The artist made it quite different but we felt it had the same vibe, so we kept it as it was!

Thanks! I dont know how I can upload the pic it was based on, but it was of us in the forest, similar place to the art

I actually like Flatpaks... I use dpkg/apt-get for system packages that cannot be installed in userspace, and flatpaks for desktop apps / games. Many distro's have unified ways to update them anyway (at least VanillaOS has)

I did the same thing. I still am on social media such as lemmy and discord but its mostly to talk to people. And I havent watched the news since I was a child. Important things come your way eventually and I dont see it as being ignorant. Now I only receive information I can actually do something about if I want to.

Yeah moving items across games would be impossible at the moment. But I feel that with nft's, you at least get to own the item. That, and people get to make their own. It's not easy to add your own skin to Fortnite, for example.

I don't want to sound like I'm for NFT's, but I think if done right, it has a usecase.

True, I've been using DeviantArt and Patreon myself. But when it comes to gaming, there is something in people and wanting to collect. I think that where NFTs might make a difference is in gaming (assuming games won't be the profit-focussed, web3 "X to earn" kind of game and actually focus on storytelling, gameplay and land well with the masses).

For example, Fortnite uses all kinds of psychological tactics to get people to buy more stuff, folding ideas explains it well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPHPNgIihR0

I don't play the game myself, but I feel that this is where NFT might make a better alternative. You keep that ability to make things collectable without all the nasty bussines tactics (IF implemented that way, ofcourse).
