@ada OK. Guess we should have an other look then, but on a copy of part of our photos.

Last year I noticed that Digikam had written to our photo library when manually updating the external backups.
Jacqueline thinks she had checked all config settings.

Thanks for the reply.

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social We had a look at Digikam last year, but then noticed that it had written to our original files when photos were rotated, etc
Which for me was totally unacceptable. Obviously it wasn’t used again after that.

Did we do something wrong, or is that the way it works?

@Gigameister Well, it started with Mastodon, then you mention to be moving to Lemmy and Bluesky, followed by nuking Meta.
Well, I 'm really sorry if understanding that “followed by” didn’t mean that leaving Mastodon was next on the list.
Quite a few have a look around here, and are gone again within a week. Obviously thinking Mastodon isn’t good enough as they don’t get the instant gratification of engagement. Well, thatyou have to build yourself by finding people you think post interesting >2

@Gigameister “and mastodon and pixelfy will surely follow” after exit Meta as you just arrived here simply states that this is not the space you’re planning to stay.
Was that not what you wanted to say?

If you plan on Making Mastodon a permanent (everything is relative) place to stay, then welcome!

@Gigameister @vesi You’re planning to leave Mastodon?
Well, don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

@vesi @Gigameister Definitely a good choice.
LOL, just last week had a message there from someone that while everyone was moving to Signal I was already at the next stage. Well, obviously he and family members also were. I’ve had Threema for many years already without any contacts.

But, Signal is still my first choice, and actually this is the only US based organisation I very well trust.
Also, if they get some issue in the US, they could very well relocate the foundation and servers.

@Vivaldi@vivaldi.net I’ve been using Vivaldi as my second browser for a few years now.

@ajsadauskas @pluralistic @technology BTW, enough media will be lost in the future due to DRM versions that will no longer be supported at a certain moment.

@AlexanderKingsbury @ajsadauskas @pluralistic @technology 2) as they also didn’t have a good feeling at TransIP, they decided to cancel the free storage option.

I just thought “You knew there would be no backup, so lost, was lost… You accepted that. Tough luck!”

@AlexanderKingsbury @ajsadauskas @pluralistic @technology With TransIP in NL there was once a free 1000GB of cloud storage on HDDs when they moved the paid accounts to SSDs.
The agreement was Best effort, but for lost data they were not responsible as there would be no backups, unlike the paid accounts.

Yes, there came a time when a disk crashed in the RAID, and then while rebuilding a 2nd disk crashed…
Yes, bye data.
Apparently some people were upset that their data was lost…
So, >2

@ajsadauskas @pluralistic @technology Well, Google will tell you to download your material before a certain date, and then just clear their servers…
