Are you sure this isn’t minor YouTube celebrity Ray William Johnson? =]
Would unlikely do YT content unless I needed a cheap video CDN or RTMP service. Do people still make actual money competing with Slop clips? I wonder how often Alphabet actually cuts a meaningful check for long-tail content. =3

What’s that have to do with my stupid joke about your emoticon and Ray William Johnson’s =3?

Don't worry about it... =3
The answer is: as many times as it crosses their view threshold for payments lol
Than that is approximately 100k to 12.5k views to see even $100.
That exposure incurs around a 1% psychopathy rate for approximately 125 to 1000 users that would have no problem stealing your stuff.
I find it unbelievable people would actually sign up for that experience. =3

No, but it's incredibly convenient? Same way I don't carry a camera because my phone has one
If I leave the house, I need my ID, which is in my wallet, which also contains my debit cards. Perhaps your workflow is different, but I would gain nothing from using a wallet app, so I don't.

This was even more annoying when they started including whatsapp backups in your quota and sent a load of people over quota. And as far as I know there's no alternative for whatsapp backups apart from plugging in a USB cable and hoping Whatsapp don't change the method between now and when you need to restore it
It is possible to back up the WhatsApp folder if using Android, with the likes of total commander or any other file browser. It can then be decrypted with a simple access to the _sim card_, i.e. a way to receive a message, meaning that anything backed up to Google drive should not considered safe from a dedicated state actor (even if the other party did it). It is quite easy to demonstrate with a new phone or an emul…

While this is a great idea to tell people to self host and I self host myself. I think it needs to also be mentioned how laborious backups are. Photos aren’t something that is only inconvenient like movies to lose WHEN your drives die. They can be devastating because you will likely not get them back. Backups are a lot of work to maintain, it’s not just simply copying the data to another array but also testing the ba…
> the web applications like Google Photos are annoying but they take away all of this They minimize it but don't take it away. A content creator must personally place their creation into multiple storage solutions, regardless of whether those solutions are cloud apps or local disks or anything else. In a world where disk failure is the only failure mode, sure, you can outsource the work of disk redundancy to a compan…

I moved my 565GB photo library to immich about a year ago and haven't looked back. Unfortunately, convincing my wife has been a bit harder, as she has real network effects of many shared albums across a large family (30+) that all aren't going to switch the immich app so they can join her album and sync the photos. Nonetheless, a positive move in the right direction!
> my 565GB photo library I always wonder what people do with these photos. For me photos are utilitarian. I take a photo and immediately send it to my wife or friend, or upload it to my website for an article, or post it on Instagram or whatever, and then I no longer have any use for the photo on my devices. Once a year or so whenever my storage gets full, I just bulk-delete anything older than 6 months and if it has…
Reminisce when you get old(er). Especially if you have children.

Eventually all those valuable pics they take will be lost if GP is disabled and phone is lost or screen damaged. And someone will complain - you can't even have sensible defaults. I understand you perhaps have hatred for google but hosting immich or ente is not for everyone. It is far easier for average Jose to pay for GP or some cloud. Unless you plan to setup at least some free cloud don't bother to lecture others
I've said "no" to this popup at least 100 times. Under what notion of obtaining consent would it be considered acceptable to ask me again the 101st time?
Never it asked.
My guess is this happens to overzealous privacy people that often clean cache etc.
If you are that ana l then why not
press and hold app. Disable.
Or even leave Google and install something like lineageOS
