  1. So, went to standalone #Gemini to see if there's a workaround. Initially, it suggested I scroll through all my albums to find the ones I want. After I pointed out that the target albums were created over a nearly decade-long span and are a handful of albums out of literally hundreds of albums, it provided guidance on how to turn off the Gemini features in Photos.

    On the plus side, I have legacy "dumb" search back. On the minus side, even dumb search has been updated to block certain terms — like "sex" — from indexing ...and as an embedded feature, there's no way to turn off "safe mode".

    So, when I responded that these safety features mean that accessing specific sets of photos is broken, it suggested that self-hosting (specifically via
    #Immich) or using a service like Ente Photos might solve my problem (it even cited others' experiences similar to my frustrations as a contributing factor to why others have hopped on the "de-Google your life" movement).

    So, Google's "AI" is (whatever the
    #AI equivalent of) "aware" (is) that Google's #enshittification of their products is causing people to abandon Google.

  14. In my country, terawatt globes are reserved for police helicopter chases and warning sailors of hazardous shoals. This is despite the fact that practically every living creature there can kill you in under three minutes. Our primary spoken language is screaming.
