1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,120
All right, let's, uh, let's dive in today.

2
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:07,360
We are taking a deep dive into image, which is a self-hosted way to

3
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:08,840
manage all those photos and videos.

4
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:09,160
Yeah.

5
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:13,240
You know, it's like taking back control of your memories and storing them

6
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:18,120
securely, you know, instead of giving them to Google or Apple, especially

7
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,720
these days, you know, with all these data leaks and hacks, it's like,

8
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,200
yeah, who knows where your photos end up, right?

9
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:28,080
And, you know, it's so interesting to see just how many people are,

10
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:32,160
you know, realizing this and they're switching over to self-hosting

11
00:00:32,160 --> 00:00:33,240
solutions like image.

12
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,240
It's a trend I'm really excited about and image in particular, you know,

13
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,080
they have this amazing origin story, right?

14
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:42,600
It's like that classic, uh, you know, built for love kind of story.

15
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:43,440
Yeah, definitely.

16
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:47,360
Or the creator, um, it seems Alex, he's an engineer and he basically just

17
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,560
wanted to build a better, um, photo management system for his wife because,

18
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,400
you know, she wanted a alternative to Google photos.

19
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:56,120
It's such a relatable story, isn't it?

20
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,680
I mean, so many of these great projects start from, you know, just

21
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:02,400
a personal need and then, um, blossom into something much bigger.

22
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,560
And in image case, it's really blossomed.

23
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:10,720
It's gone from this like little passion project to this thriving open source app.

24
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:10,840
Yeah.

25
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,160
They have thousands of users now.

26
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:12,920
It's amazing.

27
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,520
And they've been releasing features like crazy all throughout 2023.

28
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:20,960
They've added, um, facial recognition, partner sharing, even support

29
00:01:20,960 --> 00:01:23,240
for 360 degree photos.

30
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,240
It's incredible how quickly they're developing.

31
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:25,600
Yeah.

32
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,240
And the numbers are pretty impressive.

33
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:32,720
Millions of downloads of the server software, over 22,000 installs on Android.

34
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,920
And their discord community is just buzzing.

35
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,040
I think they have over 4,500 members now.

36
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,840
They've even been featured on some big podcasts like self hosted and the verge

37
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:41,360
cast.

38
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,160
Yeah, they're definitely getting a lot of attention for good reason.

39
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,520
And it seems like the perfect time for their new partnership with FUTO.

40
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,560
Can you tell us a little bit about, um, what FUTO is and why this

41
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:52,920
is such a big deal for image?

42
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:53,200
Sure.

43
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,720
So FUTO is all about, you know, empowering users.

44
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:02,040
By building open source software alternatives to, uh, the big tech companies.

45
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,000
So it aligns perfectly with image values then.

46
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:04,880
Absolutely.

47
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:11,040
And this partnership is huge for image because it allows the core developers to

48
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:12,240
work on the project full time.

49
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:13,920
So no more side hustle.

50
00:02:13,920 --> 00:02:15,400
They can really focus on image.

51
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:16,120
Exactly.

52
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:21,640
And that means faster development, more features, you know, plus FUTO is

53
00:02:21,640 --> 00:02:25,920
committed to keeping image open source under the AGPL license.

54
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:27,760
So it stays free to use.

55
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:28,120
Yeah.

56
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:28,960
That's the beauty of it.

57
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:29,880
That's fantastic.

58
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:34,120
And it's interesting because they're also changing their funding model.

59
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:35,680
They're moving away from donations.

60
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:35,800
Yeah.

61
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:36,880
That was a pretty big announcement.

62
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:37,960
I don't see that very often.

63
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,280
You know, open source projects moving away from donations.

64
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:44,440
Well, the image team believes that, you know, if users truly value the software,

65
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:49,600
they should be willing to, um, to pay for it, to support its development.

66
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:50,200
Exactly.

67
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:51,480
And it makes sense, right?

68
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,720
I mean, these developers are putting in a lot of work.

69
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,600
It's not about being greedy or anything.

70
00:02:55,640 --> 00:02:56,400
No, not at all.

71
00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:00,040
It's about building a sustainable ecosystem where developers can actually

72
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:00,600
make a living.

73
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:05,400
So instead of relying on donations, they're creating a way for users to directly

74
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:06,880
invest in the product.

75
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:07,480
Exactly.

76
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,640
But don't worry, all the features will still be free.

77
00:03:09,640 --> 00:03:10,680
Oh, that's good to hear.

78
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,440
They're just introducing a lifetime license option for those who want to, you

79
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,400
know, really support the project.

80
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:17,400
That makes a lot of sense.

81
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,880
So you still get all the benefits of image, but you have the option to

82
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:22,480
contribute if you want to precisely.

83
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:23,160
I like that a lot.

84
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:28,920
So before we move on to all the amazing features of image, let's just take a

85
00:03:28,920 --> 00:03:31,080
moment to think about what we've covered.

86
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:35,400
We talked about image journey, you know, from a personal project to this

87
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:40,840
thriving open source app, the explosive growth they've seen and this innovative

88
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,240
approach to funding, what stands out to you the most?

89
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:48,440
I think for me, it's the emphasis on privacy and control image is really

90
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,520
putting users back in charge of their data.

91
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:51,120
Absolutely.

92
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:55,280
And we're going to delve even deeper into some of those key features and explore

93
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,720
the impact image could have on the future of photo management.

94
00:03:58,720 --> 00:03:59,720
So stay tuned.

95
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:01,040
Welcome back.

96
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,200
Did you have a chance to, you know, process all that?

97
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:04,080
It's a lot to think about.

98
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:05,400
Yeah, it really is.

99
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:10,120
But speaking of a lot to think about, let's, uh, let's dive into some of those

100
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:17,120
features that make image such a, you know, compelling alternative to, uh, those

101
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:18,080
big photo services.

102
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,920
One thing that's always been a pain point for me is speed.

103
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:26,000
You know, especially with a huge photo library, how does image handle, uh, you

104
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,480
know, large libraries?

105
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,800
They've actually put a lot of work into optimization.

106
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,280
Remember all those weekly releases?

107
00:04:31,280 --> 00:04:31,840
Oh, right.

108
00:04:31,840 --> 00:04:32,080
Yeah.

109
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:36,280
A lot of those were focused on performance, especially for large libraries.

110
00:04:36,280 --> 00:04:40,240
So it's not all just, um, you know, bells and whistles.

111
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:41,800
They're really focused on the foundation.

112
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:41,920
Yeah.

113
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:43,160
They want to make sure it runs smoothly.

114
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:43,840
Makes sense.

115
00:04:43,840 --> 00:04:45,920
Well, kind of, you know, technical stuff are they doing?

116
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,560
Well, for example, they use video hardware transcoding.

117
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:48,880
Okay.

118
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:49,280
What's that?

119
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:54,480
So basically it offloads the heavy lifting of video processing to your

120
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:55,320
device's hardware.

121
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:56,560
So it's faster.

122
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:57,480
Much faster.

123
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:01,440
So you can scroll through thousands of photos and videos without any lag.

124
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:02,520
That's what I like to hear.

125
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:06,240
But, um, performance isn't everything, right?

126
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:07,280
What about search?

127
00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:11,760
Can it handle, you know, those kind of vague searches, like beach

128
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:13,800
vacation or dog playing fetch?

129
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:14,320
Absolutely.

130
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,880
They use CLIP technology, CLIP technology.

131
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:17,080
Yeah.

132
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:21,080
That's pretty advanced that basically allows the app to actually

133
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,560
understand what's in your photos.

134
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:24,000
Whoa.

135
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:24,640
That's cool.

136
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:24,880
Yeah.

137
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:30,640
So you can search for like sunset or mountains and get really accurate results.

138
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,720
It's like having an AI assistant that knows my photos better than I do.

139
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,280
What about facial recognition?

140
00:05:36,280 --> 00:05:37,840
Is that a thing?

141
00:05:37,840 --> 00:05:38,320
It is.

142
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,000
And it's not just basic facial recognition either.

143
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:45,760
You can cluster photos based on recognized individuals, rename faces,

144
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:47,360
manage person information.

145
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,480
You can even search your entire library for photos of specific people.

146
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:51,480
That's super useful.

147
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,360
I'm always trying to find those old photos of Tamella.

148
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,440
If I was like my childhood dog, you know.

149
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:56,000
Exactly.

150
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,800
And speaking of sharing memories, they have this really cool partner sharing feature.

151
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:00,320
Oh yeah.

152
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:01,120
I was reading about that.

153
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:05,240
So partners can seamlessly share photos and videos, but here's the cool part.

154
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,080
It merges their timelines.

155
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:08,240
What do you mean?

156
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:12,000
So you get a unified chronological view of their shared memories.

157
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:13,240
That's amazing.

158
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:18,280
No more separate albums or like trying to figure out whose photo came first.

159
00:06:18,280 --> 00:06:18,560
Right.

160
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,280
It's a much more natural way to experience memories together.

161
00:06:21,280 --> 00:06:22,480
I like that a lot.

162
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:23,040
Okay.

163
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,800
But what about the more, um, you know, techie stuff?

164
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,640
Do they have like custom storage labels or support for raw files?

165
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:31,120
They do.

166
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:35,040
They've got all that custom storage labels, support for XMP sidecar files,

167
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,680
compatibility with all the popular raw formats.

168
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:42,120
Sounds like they're catering to both, you know, casual users and serious photographers.

169
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:42,280
Yeah.

170
00:06:42,280 --> 00:06:43,200
They're trying to strike a balance.

171
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:48,080
They even have this feature that automatically creates slideshows based on

172
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,760
events, locations, or people.

173
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,760
It's like having your own personal photo curator.

174
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:53,240
Okay.

175
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,680
But now for the big question, security.

176
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,280
We're talking about storing our photos on our own servers.

177
00:06:59,280 --> 00:07:01,240
How secure is that?

178
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:02,120
That's a great question.

179
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:06,200
Security is obviously paramount and Emic takes it very seriously.

180
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:12,600
Now a deep dive into their security measures is probably, um, a bit beyond the

181
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,120
scope of our conversation today, but they've implemented robust authentication

182
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,320
systems and they offer things like two factor authentication.

183
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:19,640
Okay.

184
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,040
So they've got all the bases covered.

185
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:21,400
They do.

186
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:26,400
And they're constantly updating things to stay ahead of any potential threats.

187
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:27,400
That's good to hear.

188
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,160
So where does image go from here?

189
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,440
Well, they actually have a public roadmap.

190
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,440
Ooh, a roadmap.

191
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:35,720
I love that transparency.

192
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:36,240
Me too.

193
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:40,560
So on the roadmap, they've got things like auto stacking, burst photos, basic

194
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,080
photo editing, even more automated workflows, you know?

195
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:44,520
Wow.

196
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:45,760
They're not slowing down.

197
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:46,400
Not at all.

198
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:51,840
They're also exploring fine-grained access controls for users and API keys.

199
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:52,480
Okay.

200
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:53,920
Getting a bit technical there.

201
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,720
Yeah, but it shows they're thinking about advanced customization.

202
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:57,400
Ambitious.

203
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:01,440
But before we move on, I think it's important to acknowledge that, you know,

204
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,080
self-hosting isn't for everyone.

205
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:03,560
Right.

206
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:08,160
It definitely takes a certain level of technical comfort.

207
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,040
You got to be willing to manage your own server.

208
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:10,640
Exactly.

209
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,720
So for those who aren't ready for that, what are some alternatives?

210
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:18,920
Well, there are a number of, you know, cloud-based services that prioritize privacy.

211
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:20,640
Any specific ones you'd recommend.

212
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:25,440
I don't want to endorse any specific ones, but it's crucial to do your research.

213
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:26,440
Good point.

214
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,640
Look into those terms of service and privacy policies.

215
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:30,120
Absolutely.

216
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:30,360
Yeah.

217
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:31,680
But let's bring it back to image.

218
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:32,000
Yeah.

219
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,360
What's the key takeaway here?

220
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:37,760
I think image represents a shift in how we think about our photos and videos.

221
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,040
It's not just about storage or sharing anymore.

222
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:46,240
It's about ownership control, taking back control of our digital lives.

223
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:46,960
Exactly.

224
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:48,200
It's a powerful message.

225
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:48,840
It is.

226
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,040
And that brings us to another fascinating aspect.

227
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,440
It makes open source nature.

228
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,840
Let's dive into that after we take a moment to gather our thoughts.

229
00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:59,400
You know what I was thinking during the break?

230
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,440
Image isn't just like a piece of software.

231
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:06,000
It's more like a, a philosophy, you know, right.

232
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,520
It's about saying, Hey, I want to own my data.

233
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:10,680
I want to do things differently.

234
00:09:10,680 --> 00:09:11,280
Exactly.

235
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,320
And speaking of doing things differently, let's talk about that open source thing.

236
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:14,600
Yeah.

237
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:15,160
Open source.

238
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:19,640
Those who don't know basically means the code behind image is like totally open.

239
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:20,600
Anyone can see it.

240
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:20,880
Yeah.

241
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,040
Anyone can see it, change it, even distribute it.

242
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:23,360
Right.

243
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:24,440
That's the beauty of it.

244
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:28,560
It's like they're saying, Hey, come on in, see how we built this and feel

245
00:09:28,560 --> 00:09:30,640
free to, you know, make it better.

246
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:31,760
It's all about transparency.

247
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:33,160
Which is huge.

248
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:33,520
Yeah.

249
00:09:33,560 --> 00:09:37,920
Especially when it comes to like our personal photos, you know, it

250
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,400
builds trust, you know, you can actually see how your data is being handled.

251
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:45,000
No more like secret algorithms or shady stuff.

252
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:45,840
Exactly.

253
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:52,160
And it also, um, fuels innovation, you know, how so well, because

254
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:53,160
anyone can contribute.

255
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:53,840
Oh, right.

256
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:54,160
Yeah.

257
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,400
So you have developers from all over the world working together

258
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:58,560
to make the software better.

259
00:09:58,560 --> 00:10:00,160
It's like a global brain, right?

260
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:00,760
Kind of.

261
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:02,120
It's the power of the community.

262
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:06,280
And Immick wouldn't be where it is today without that community.

263
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:07,000
Definitely not.

264
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,280
So many new features, so much progress.

265
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:10,920
All thanks to those contributors.

266
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:11,480
It's amazing.

267
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,240
So if someone's listening to this and they're thinking, Hey, I

268
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,840
want to get involved, where do they start?

269
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,240
The best place to start is their GitHub repository.

270
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:20,880
GitHub.

271
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:21,160
Yeah.

272
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:22,000
That's where all the code is.

273
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:22,280
Okay.

274
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,480
And what about like actually talking to people?

275
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:25,800
They have a great discord server.

276
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:26,640
Discord, right?

277
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:27,600
Very active community.

278
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:28,040
Awesome.

279
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:28,360
Okay.

280
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,520
Before we wrap up, I want to touch on that funding model one last time.

281
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,120
Moving away from donations is a bold move.

282
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:39,280
It is, but it shows how committed they are to, you know, building a sustainable

283
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:40,600
future for open source.

284
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,680
It's like they're saying, Hey, if you love this, put your money where your

285
00:10:43,680 --> 00:10:48,000
mouth is exactly support the developers, help them keep building amazing

286
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,000
software and all the features are still free, right?

287
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:50,680
Absolutely.

288
00:10:50,680 --> 00:10:54,760
The lifetime license is just an option for those who really want to go all in.

289
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:55,400
Exactly.

290
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:59,640
It's inspiring to see a project like this, you know, in a world where it's all

291
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:03,480
about like big tech and their own agendas.

292
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:04,120
I know what you mean.

293
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,280
Image is like a breath of fresh air.

294
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:06,960
It really is.

295
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:08,360
It shows that we have a choice.

296
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,680
We don't have to settle for the status quo.

297
00:11:10,680 --> 00:11:12,200
We can build a better digital world.

298
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:13,000
Absolutely.

299
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:14,640
And that's what image is all about.

300
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,360
It's about empowerment.

301
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:17,800
It's about privacy.

302
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:19,080
It's about taking control.

303
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:19,960
Well said.

304
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:25,040
So to everyone listening, I hope you've learned something new today.

305
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:29,080
Maybe you're even inspired to, you know, give them it a try.

306
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:29,840
Check it out.

307
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:34,000
Or maybe you're just excited about the future, a future where technology serves

308
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,640
us, not the other way around.

309
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:36,640
That's the dream.

310
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,760
Thanks for joining us on this deep dive into image.

311
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:40,600
It's been a pleasure.

312
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:41,280
Absolutely.

313
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:42,360
Until next time.
