Very strange. I've got roughly 40k photos and Immich runs just fine on i5-6xxx old minipc with 8 gigs of ram. Migrated to Immich a couple of years ago from Photoprism (which was fine as well, I just prefer the UI of Immich).

Yeah, and it feels like we’re sliding back the same way.

>but it felt like they didn't value it enough to give

I still feel like this.

>It doesn't feel rude if somebody breaks out their phone mid-conversation and starts scrolling for a little bit.

And I do not agree about this either. Also, I think most of the people I spend my time with would also agree. But perhaps I'm (unfortunately) an outlier.

Computers definitely do not seem that important for young people of today. They can get quite far by using phone with a few apps (social media, browser, etc.) Not that I think this is a good thing, but simply my observation.

Probably just got used to it. It was IMO very good plugin 5 years ago or so before all the ads etc.

Yeah, but they paid a vastly lower percentage of their paycheck than people nowadays do (at least here in western EU)

>absolutely worse from a security perspective than passwords

Is it though? Majority (if not all) services I frequently use have email as recovery option for forgotten passwords.

Does not really matter as long as they offer it in EU countries.
