    –––––

    Hello everybody,

    Alex from Immich here. What a controversy that we caused with the choice of wording, right? My personal apology to you all.

    On behalf of the team, we would like everyone to know that we hear your concerns and we appreciate the love and care that you all have expressed for the project. At the end of the day, what we want most is to make sure you are all happy using the app.

    With that said, we are working on a change to the word license: we will not call it licensed or unlicensed anymore. What will it be called?

    We are still thinking of different options to make the wording less confusing. The new wording will hopefully showcase our intentions properly going forward.

    We’re also working on updating the FAQ with more information to clarify those intentions. We just want to provide good software that people will want to pay for whilst not limiting your usage in any way if you can’t.

    So expect these changes over the next week. We’re pushing this out now to let you know our appreciation for the feedback you’ve given us.

    The amount of purchases in the first 24 hours has been overwhelming. Thanks everyone for the great support!

    Have a great weekend!

    Immich team.














  • Ahh, I see how it could be interpreted that way. I’ll just pretend this is asked in good faith, despite it being just an off-topic rhetorical jab at the state of the US government.


    Why can’t they regulate capitalism when it comes to important shit.

    The US government can do this (as opposed to your favored issues) for two reasons: 1) This is executive action by the Biden administration, not requiring Congress. 2) This is inherently uncontroversial, even popular. 81% of Americans have an unfavorable view of China. It is one of the few things Americans agree on with such strong bi-partisan support, thereby making China an easy punching-bag for campaign season.

    Further, I would contest the assertion that the Biden administration isn’t also doing those other things, to the extent that is feasible, given the currently widely divided state of our government.
