Any alternatives to Google Photos?

I’m starting my degoogling journey (mostly looking into the various options at hand) and I was wondering what hood alternatives to Goohle Photos is there? I’m specifically wondering about a service that would double both as a cloud storage and a gallery with a timeline and such. But currently it’s only cloud storage backup...

illi,

I saw this but not feeling much better about having it stored on Amazon. Good tip though!

illi,

Community Points represent a way for Redditors to own a piece of their favorite communities. […] They can even be used in custom tools outside of Reddit and on other platforms.

How the fuck would this work, I wonder? I tried to read through some but it makes little sense to me. It sounds like putting karma on blockchain and making it into a currency acting as reddit gold.

Rest is just regular cryptobro talk formulated so that Reddit looks like it cares about communities - or am I missing something?

illi, (edited )

Not an expert but overall yes, the technology seems like a good idea, it’s what it was/is most used that gives it bad rep. The most inhetently bad thing about it might be the environmental unfriendliness with the energy used needed for the verifications and stuff (though there are alternatives to it I think)

But I don’t know much about it beyond the basics, so might be wrong.

Maybe I get downvoted because I’m wrong. Or mayne because I wasn’t inherently negative about blockchain and since it is mostly asociated with NFTs and similar scams, people just automatically hate it. If it’s the former, I deserve it - but would love for someone to say so and explain if that’s the case.

illi,

Honestly, as I said, I knly know the basics. From what I know about it, at face value and in vacuum, it sounds usable - with the environmental negatives. So more or less, you understood me correctly I think. I may’ve not been too clear, because I only have basic understanding of it - never looked too deep into it.

Maybe (probably) there are more inherent negatives to it that I don’t know about. Maybe the environmental ones just stuck with me because I understand those.

illi,

Truly a return to the roots!

illi,

Any app for it yet?

illi,

Nice!

illi,

As far as I know (someone may prove me wrong though) this is not in Bible - this is people trying to convince themselves god is fair and good.

illi,

Tea party?

illi,

That would be nice. Personally, I was always rubbed the wrong way when bandits fought alongaide the khazra who fought alongside the fallen. Logically, they should want to rip each other appart as much as they want to rip me.

illi,

Afaik there are such fuels, but are much more expensive. From what I read it could shift and rich will be able to ride vehicless with combustion engines using eco fuel, while us plebs will drive electric

illi,

Not an expert, I just said what I heard. But how many people would be able to make fuel at home and be confident enough to pour it in their tank? I imagine there would also need to be some regulations on this.

Buy again - not an expert.

illi,

For single player games, sure. For games with co-op, sure. But I can understand multiplayer lifeservice games, MMOs/MMO-lites and similar to have in game stores (with reasonable pricing).

illi,

You are right, totally. There is monetization, and there is monetization. Not all systems are equal. Maybe because I didn’t play any games with lootboxes lately I could moarly forget about them.

illi,

I agree games should pick between subs and in game stores. But i can see why buy to play could not be enough for live service games.

illi,

I most definitely did not need to know this…

illi,

Happy to see game-specific communities pop up!

illi,

The Ukrainian fencer did offer her weapon for tapping it, which is pretty much an equivalent of a handshake - much less cordial, sure but still. It was the Russian who then threw a tantrum to fuck with her oponent.

illi,

Wonder what the thing that would be tipping point for them would look like.

Either way - shame. I really enjoyed that sub.

illi,

hate to see it, especially since they’re both otherwise smart people.

I hate to say it… but they are not really that smart based on that. Amd I’m saying this as someone who’s mom who is “otherwise really smart”, but pretty fucking stupid.

illi,

The only thing could make us drop “us versus them” mentality is a giant alien force more violent and sick than anything you can imagine.

Even if this’d unite humanity, it would in the end still be us vs. them (us being humanity).

Arotrios, to fediverse

I hereby triple dog dare Elon Musk to get a Fediverse account. Lemmy, Mastodon, I don't care. I just want more popcorn.

illi,

Oh, well it makes much more sense this way. I like seeing people shitting on Elon as much as anyone but I’d prefer him to just fade into obscurity.

illi,

If this is the case, they might as well not included. But it gives incentive to buy more platinum to actually buy something.

illi,

PC games do this for years already too…
