Literal Hostage Situation (feddit.org)

Alt Text:

Google photos on ios is literally a hostage situation. Remove key functionalities like copying an image or editing an image unless you give them full unrestricted access to your entire photo library. (The holy grail of surveillance capitalism data). Data extortion masquerading as a service.

Yeah, I've set up an Immich server last week using an old spare 250gb HDD and transfered my google photos to it..so far so good. I had been using nextcloud for a year to new pictures but the UI is not that great and I missed my old photos. Immich is great! Oh I'm also using lineage..with microg, a pihole and some obter awesome self hosting programs

I am running Syncthing between my devices, which is enough for me. I wondered if I should in a Synology, but now that they went full enshittification that's not a question anymore.
