@tekphloyd Yeah, that's a pickle! I suppose it depends on how she's using it as an everything database. But search in Photos is fantastic. And if it's must be accessible from mobile devices it's even trickier.

I reverted to my pre-cloud photo process. Everything is on a hard drive and I use digiKam which is free/libre software. It's an excellent app but does not provide anything close to Photos search.

@bryan That's fantastic. Keep sharing your progress. I think the more we talk about it and share our steps taken the more we can help one another. Just as they "gameify" their shit to keep is using it, we should gameify our progress in getting off out of their nightmarish profit machines.

GitLab CFO, Brian Robins, says they are “aligned with the goals of DOGE, because the company’s software tools aim to help people do more with less. What the Department of Government Efficiency is trying to do is what GitLab does.”

You either support fascism or you don’t. It’s binary. There’s no gray area or “aligning.”

Considering GitLab? Don’t. Use @Codeberg.

@marcoarment I'd been using Apple hardware since 1993 and made the decision to exit the Apple ecosystem back in February and I'm glad I did. Anyone can do it. Same for Google and Amazon. Didn't use Microsoft.

Computing is entirely possible without them. It takes a bit of effort to detangle from iCloud, etc but it's well worth it.

GNU/Linux is much better than I'd previously thought. It's actually been fantastic.

Tim Cook is another fascist white gay man; but, unlike Gay Hitler, he’s a fascist out of pure greed.

Yesterday I visited the city I was born and raised in. One notable place is "La Base." A gigantic piece of reinforced concrete that was set up by the Nazis to launch their submarines during WWII.

It was too expensive to dismantle. Instead of blowing it up, locals turned it into an affordable art center, and subsidized music studios.

The city I was born in took Nazi bases and filled them with joy, creativity, and social equality.

Fascism doesn't last.

From the article:

"“What we're learning is that two of the country's most popular home improvement stores are contributing to the massive surveillance dragnet coordinated by Flock Safety,” Dave Maass, director of investigations at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, told 404 Media. “Do customers know that these stores are collecting their data and sharing indiscriminately? Probably not. Have these companies given thought about how this data might put their customers in danger, whether it's cops stalking their exes or aggressive ICE agents targeting yard workers? Probably not. If these companies want customers to feel safe in their homes, then they should make sure they're also safe where they buy their supplies.""

Hmm, have any countries start to think about an LA Olympics boycott yet? Will we be seeing a complete choreographed opening ceremony celebrating Dear Leader? Will they be renditioning and probing the gender of athletes at the events, or at the border?
