Immich: FUTO — 2 years later (immich.app)

When Immich originally joined FUTO two years ago, the news was received with a healthy level of skepticism. Who was FUTO? Why did they want to "acquire" Immich? Did this mean the beginning of the end for the product? Well, it's been almost two years now and we thought it would be fun to have a little retrospective on how things have played out since then.

I agree, but I'm still glad some rich people are spending tons of money to make some free and very useful apps for me.

Ideally they should be doing it like the millionaire that partially funds KDE though.

Are you talking about gaming's lord and savior who casually drops dough on FOSS people and doesn't talk about it everywhere on the internet?

Gaben is great!

But I was thinking of the founder of Blue Systems https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Systems

According to Blue Systems employee Aurélien Gâteau, "Blue Systems does not have a business model, at least for now".

Nice

The guy (Clemens tönnies) is an asshole nonetheless.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Systems

Biggest meat manufacture in Europe, bad conditions for animals, rotten meat, very tightly knitt family with strange mafia like structure.

Yes he is funding development and that is great but fo r him it is nothing more that saving some pennies on taxes.

I am not trying to defend him or anything, I know nothing about this guy.

But, according to the Wikipedia article, he stepped down from tönnies, he only inherited the wealth from his father, his brother now runs the business.

So he doesn't have that much to do with the tönnies business.

Interesting, I'll read up on that.

Edit: yeah no. He stepped down but holds a significant share in tonnies. And just for kicks: if you speak German read the controversy section on Wikipedia. Atrocious.
