If GrapheneOS stops supporting future Pixels, and Motorola is only targeting the flagship market for their compatible phones, we’re looking at truly dark days ahead.
I didn’t mean to imply that I recommend Google Photos (I was hoping the emoji would make that clear), only that OP may want to consider an off-site backup as part of their backup solution. Everyone should. Self-hosting Immich is great, easy, free, etc., but it also shifts the failure point of your potentially irreplaceable photos to single hard drive in your possession, subject to the whims of a house fire, earthquake, etc.
Proton Drive for photo storage is a horrible experience, though.
Realistically, are you sure you want to ditch iCloud? I know this is a privacy and not a data hoarding community, but even though I self-host Immich, Google Photos (🤮) is still the off-site part of my 3-2-1 backup solution.
Thank you for your service 🫡
Grunge question. I’m very much a surface-level Linux user. But is Omarchy more than just a hyprland rice?
Not with that attitude.
Yooooo yes, Slay! Core memory unlocked!
Not complaining about Motorola, just about flagship phones in general. I assume (incorrectly, maybe?) that the vast majority of people use their phones for light browsing, social media, etc. and don’t need flagship features. Having to pay a flagship premium would suck… especially when all I really want is my Pixel 4a5g back lol.
Looks a lot like Antiyoy.
Every Linus AI headline for the last year: “AI is the future, adapt or die, if you hate AI leave Linux.”
Every actual Linus quotation from those articles: “AI can be a powerful tool in the hands of experienced human programmers that are still responsible for every line of code they push.”
Kurzgasagt makes a lot of cool science videos, but you can definitely predict when their ‘actually we can science our way into only 2c rise in temperature and be alright’ or ‘Africa is only poor because of overpopulation’ videos are going to end in a Gates Foundation disclosure.
It’s been about 18 months since I last tried to use Proton for photo backup, so maybe things have gotten better. Proton Calendar certainly has. But at the time, it had no support for searching, tagging, or location metadata, didn’t respect existing albums, picture previews were unusably slow (maybe because of encryption, in which case, fair I guess) it didn’t let you select what folders you wanted to update (so instead of just backing up my camera photos, it would back up downloads, screenshots, memes, etc.). It lacked the ability to select all or groups of photos, even just straight uploading would be painfully slow and fail frequently.
