run exiftool on them to automatically divide them to folders based on any metadata field you like.Ĥ. run jdupes on the dump and deduplicate them.ģ. get all image files with "find", considering they are with a known extensionĢ. By moving to a paying model, the field is more level, and there is more of an opportunity for smaller players to come up with similar pricing but a better product.Ĭonsidering you're using Linux, I'd do something of sorts:ġ. Free shit from big cos is a major reason no smaller players can come up with potentially better offerings, because they will need to charge money to be a sustainable business, while big cos can cross-subsidize it. Industry-serving reason: Big cos can keep offering free shit for way longer than any new player can afford to. Self-serving reason: If the product is free, it's more likely to be killed if it doesn't get that much usage or gets a lot of usage and consumes resources but does not synergize with money-making parts of the company.

This is not the usual "Google kills product", it's the type of thing that HN loves to say they would be happy to pay for ("Just give me something that does A B C and doesn't show me ads and I would be happy to pay for it!!!", well I guess until you are actually asked to pay for it).Īlso, as a general rule, people should welcome big cos moving away from the "free shit" product model for two reasons. Surprised to see the level of anger here about this.
