Water might be wet
i assumed they already did that as they listen to us and obvs track everything we click or pause n look at
if they scan racey photos, it will be porn ads?
They are, by they also might, but they are.
This has the same energy as “I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to, too”
LMAO. No they won’t.
I mean, Apple already scans my photos for “memories.” This is definitely probable.
It isn’t possible unless there’s a major update to Android. I don’t use Google photos.
All they would need to do is update google play services to scan your photos without your consent and 99% of Android devices would be affected.
That’s what I meant by a major update to Android, though you’re of course more correct. I cannot wait for a proper FOSS mobile phone OS.
Well there’s your problem. On Android phones you can disable the Google Photos app (or remove it all together, or never have it to begin with) and replace it with a Free and Open Source Software version that doesn’t do any of that crap.
Notice how you forgot to mention play services, your entire device is now Googles as it was before and yet you still feel smug about it, womp womp
“might”
corporate dystopian move #7368945 aside, I have to wonder what the ROI on this would actually be
I think they don’t care. At this point, it seems they’re injecting ads like AI, basically hand-in-hand.
And that’s why we self host.
Remember to back up regularly!
In Kramer voice: Oh, I backup.
On a RAID.
Backed up nightly to Backblaze in US and OVH in Germany. Recovery exercise once every year.
Backed up every 6 months to offline storage, for worm protection.
It takes an asteroid killer before I’m at risk.
I hope.
FUTO is in the progress of offering built in backup in immich. Very neat idea.
Google won’t scan my private photos. Neither do I have Android (nor iOS) on my phone, nor do I use Gmail and certainly not Google Photos.
What do you use for your phone, out of curiosity?
Sailfish OS on my Jolla Phone 2026, fully natively. It is as “Nokia” as you can go today, given it is the successor of Meego, the last in-house Nokia OS, which was fully gesture based before iOS and Android. Nowadays it feels IMHO refreshingly clean, certainly different from the duopoly but also from other Linux phones.
How are the cell/4g/5g and standby times? Those are items that have kept me from going sailfish on my sony since forever.
Are they alright yet? I can live with things like subpar (or even no) camera, but not those 2
My phone is on 4G Volte all the time, it supposedly is capable of 5G but I have never seen it, others have. Not sure if that has something to do with my provider which is a budget one. I really don’t care enough about 5G to figure that out. What I have heard is that some phones show 5G even when they are currently actually using 4G because there is no need for the bandwith, while sailfish OS only showd it when it is actually used.
Regarding battery life, I cant really tell how long it survives on idle. I never have that phone idling for that long. The most recent system update did improve power consumption though, by fixing some background process cpu waste. At medium use battery holds 2 days.
Water is wet.
I would have to be crazy enough to use google photos for them to scan mine.
Always assume Google will scan whatever you store or access through them for advertisement targeting.
They aren’t already?
One word: Immich
Who can afford hard drive space in this economy
Moved the whole family to immich, deleted all our photos on Google. Not missed Google photos at all
photoprism is another option.
Do it now while you can still buy a Pi and a hard drive for less than $500 each.
At this point ditch the PI and go straight to any used Mini-PC with 12th gen intel or 5000/7000 ryzen…
