    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.


  • That’s very much the expected outcome. In the US, at least, the law has long recognized that there are some things you just can’t say without expecting a beatdown. This is called the “fighting words doctrine.” Generally, it covers things like the OP example, which is very clearly a direct personal insult that a reasonable person would expect could lead to violence.

    A geo professor once took us on a road trip as a “lab”, without telling us where we were going. I actually was driving the school van, so that motherfucker had me driving for nearly 10 hours with stops at all the very best road cuts in the Midwest (one would hope.)

    I am sure I would have liked it somewhat more if I weren’t the one driving.







  • Having talked about this same questiom with a family member who was in the field of nuclear engineering, what he told me basically boiled down to this:

    It is fairly accurate, but not actually as detailed as it seems. There are several major obstacles that variously will stump you, get you killed, and/or put you on the radar of a national security apparatus.

    But yeah, although not exactly “easy,” the basics apparently aren’t that complicated to work out if you know the science.
