If you're following along and can't/don't want to remember the SQL syntax, use the examples from the post for LLM text-to-SQL context:

  Q: Which photo has the highest number of faces?
  A: SELECT SourceFile
  FROM photos
  WHERE RegionType IS NOT ''
  ORDER BY length(RegionType) DESC
  LIMIT 1;
  
  Q: ...
You can also fetch and use the table schema with `sqlite3 exif.db .schema`

I requested, but gave up and requested deletion after. I still haven’t received the requested data.

Still, I figure I have a few trillion backup copies… albeit in very raw format

Just want to send my thanks. I’ve been a regular user since the early testflights and it’s been great seeing the iterations and improvements, particularly for me the scheduled-but-no-show ghost buses.

Congrats to the team!

Yeah it must have been later than I remember. Even if it was a bootleg beta I found, it would have been 2000 at the earliest.

Oh that was the holy grail. I also never got there… had to settle for the lower levels of Gentoo purity.

Never knew so many levels of parody and irony could be encapsulated in one flash animation!

Lindows was my first Linux distro c. 1999. It was my first year at college, majoring in Business Administration, living on campus with internet speeds above 56kbps for the first time. Trawling through the internet at that time, I stumbled on a (likely bootleg) Lindows installer somewhere and fell down the rabbit hole.

Looking back, I realize now I’d been a self-denying computer geek before then but for whatever reason Lindows, it’s wacky installer, dual boot support, and fortunate hardware compatibility gave me the right nudge at the right time to send me on a lifetime of hacking.

Almost 25 years later, most as a professional software engineer, I have a completely biased affection for this strange OS.

Thanks for sharing!
