@denshirenji @asklemmy On photos, does NextCloud Photos or Memories play nice with Digikam or any other desktop photo gallery applications? And what about Immich?

@tokenwizard @asklemmy I’m thinking of eventually doing three websites.
One that’s a '90s pastiche (that one), a minimalist personal website that takes some elements of the '90s web but tones them down a notch, and a blog.
@HobbitFoot I’m not yet, but if there’s a good one then I’d be happy to add it…
@neidu2 Done :)
@joannaholman @degoogle Good point.
If it were run as a private company, I think the solution might be just to pay actual humans as employees.
If it’s a community-run project, the challenge would be to come up with a robust moderation system…
@bsammon And this Archive.org capture of Lycos.com from 1998 contradicts your memory: https://web.archive.org/web/19980109165410/http://lycos.com/
See those links under “WEB GUIDES: Pick a guide, then explore the Web!”?
See the links below that say Autos/Business/Money/Careers/News/Computers/People/Education /Shopping/Entertainment /Space/Sci-Fi/Fashion /Sports/Games/Government/Travel/Health/Kids
That’s exactly what I’m referring to.
Here’s the page where you submitted your website to Lycos: https://web.archive.org/web/19980131124504/http://lycos.com/addasite.html
As far as the early search engines went, some were more sophisticated than others, and they improved over time. Some simply crawled the webpages on the sites in the directory, others
But yes, Lycos definitely was definitely an example of the type of web directory I described.
@Sina @Blaubarschmann Google is more like a restaurant that has a large chalk board covered with specials. The kind that has a soup of the day, and a fish of the day, and a chef’s special.
There are a few core menu items that are perennials on its printed menu. Search, maps, photos, ads, Gmail, Google Docs, Chrome, Android, Chromebook, YouTube…
Then there’s the messaging app of the day, the TV platform of the day, the flavour-of-the-month device selection…
@geillescas @jajabor @asklemmy That, and also making files/emails/calendar events synced across your computer and your phone.
