Do you know Robbie? 📖🐝 @Alamantus@cybre.space

I wrote a detailed guide about how to #export your #GooglePhotos before its free unlimited storage goes away & how to make make your export usable!

It also includes a link to a tool I made with #React to help skip the hard work if you want! 😊

It's very early days, and I have a lot of design work to do, but #Readlebee is on its way to becoming a reality!

If you'd like to #contribute to making this #Goodreads alternative as good as possible, check out the project on GitLab. Ideas and designs will help just as much as code:

📖🐝 #openSource

I just uploaded new features and bug fixes for #Lexiconga (https://lexicon.ga)! There's custom alphabetical order, custom CSS, and more!

Check out the release notes for all the details:

(Hey, custom CSS means you can use #conscript fonts in your dictionary! Check this blog post to learn how to set it up: https://blog.lexicon.ga/post/186302976725/how-to-use-custom-fonts-on-lexiconga)

Oh how about a link? It's been a hot minute since I posted it:

#GooglePhotos #degoogle

The Google Photos Export Organizer has been updated to version 1.1.0 and now correctly updates the created/modified dates of your files after moving them! It can also insert what little metadata is provided by Google Takeout back into JPEGs!

#GooglePhotos #degoogle

Bleh I apparently added a dependency to my Google Photos Export Organizer that now makes it so I have to compile each separate operating system version /using/ the OS in question... I'm a very lucky man to have hand-me-down PCs with each OS available to me!

Ok! Not all hope is lost—I'm learning how to use what little metadata Google Takeout provides to give at least a /little/ bit of Exif data back to JPEGs for my export organizer program!

Google Takeout is absolute garbage. I can't fucking believe that they strip all the metadata from your photos and videos and don't even provide it all, even when they DO HAVE THE ORIGINAL PHOTOS WITH THE DATA ON GOOGLE PHOTOS!

This is a disgrace.

Okay, REALLY?!

No wonder there's a cardboard shortage!

I completely understand why it's so tempting to just use Disqus. All this extra setup just so people can comment on a website is exhausting

I've decided that for the sake of my #webdev career's future, every project I start from now on will be made with #React, whether it needs to or not.

Flu shot time 😖
