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.
I've just set up a self hosted server, with lots of useful Docker containers. Any suggestions for a good image host? I saw immich, and it sounds tempting, any thoughts?
Currently working on a better script to import all my Google Takeout images into Immich. If anyone wants to help, I can publish it on GitHub. I’ve currently got it sorting all the photos correctly, and now I need to combine the still and live versions into one photo.
I’m doing this because the current import project doesn’t work well. It goes on basically filename alone, which has a lot of problems with a big complicated library like my own. I’ve used all of iCloud, Google Photos, and Immich at different points and together, so there are tons of duplicate files.
This is a particularly hard problem because Google Takeout names files in the most convoluted way. You might have a photo called Photo1.jpg and a metadata file called Photo1.supplemental-meta.json, which is fine, but then a photo called MeAndTheWifeAtTheBeach(1).jpg and a metadata file called MeAndTheWifeAtTheBeach.supplemental-m(1).json. Then you could also have a live version that doesn’t have its own metadata file. And these might exist in different folders. The current import project doesn’t take any of this into account.
IIRC, Ente has a working Import for Google Takeout correctly joining the Live Photos. Maybe it’s with taking a look at that for some inspiration.
getting my family off of google is proving to be a years long process but it's going to be worth it and i'm not letting corpo scum fool me again
Does iOS have per file permissions? I don't think you can blame Google for something the OS can't do.
Google photos masquerading as service.
There, FTFY 🤌🏼
Don't use Google.
Who do you think you are ? You're just extension of their machine. It's their photos.
And their cameras. I can't even use my nest camera anymore. Because once Google took over they requested 24/7 access to my living room camera. That's an absurd ask. Not while it's on, but 24/7. Fuck you Google. Keep your grimey paws off my data
Am now shopping for home camera system with external hard drive
