  • If you had a Samsung fridge, and you willingly put a bomb in the fridge, would you blame Samsung when your fridge explodes?

    Microsoft gives you the freedom to install software that runs with the same level of privilege as the kernel itself. You’re the one that chose to install defective software, and then give it kernel level permissions. You put a bomb in your computer and now you’re blaming Microsoft after the bomb exploded.

    Microsoft didn’t make the decision to allow the faulty input, the person who installed the software did, when they gave it permission to run in kernel mode.

    However, because of the fast dev cycle, it has a lot of breaking changes, and needs regular maintenance (most notably for me, postgres docker changes. Especially if you are not giving it it’s own postgres instance and using their provided docker compose.)

    You could stay pegged to a single version, but the mobile app also doesn’t have full backwards compatibility with server versions, which results in a slew of other problems (how do I do a fresh install of an older app version on a new device?)

    But if you are willing to keep up and perform semi-regular maintenance, immich is great, and the rapid dev cycle means more new features faster!
