Don't store your photos on other people's computers. Store them on your computer.
Hope this helps.
and what about off site backup?
If you're willing to self-host, Immich is a fantastic replacement.
Remember BACKUPS!
Absolutely. One of the really nice things about Immich is it stores your files in a normal folder structure. Nothing obscured, very easy to backup.
Encrypted or your own device.
Thanks family who insisted on digital copies.
I have Fossify Gallery as my default image viewer but I'm still using the pre-installed Google camera app. Am I affected by this scanning? I haven't gotten around to checking out other camera apps.

They weren't already doing this? I'm so glad that I downloaded all my photos and deleted them from Google Photos a few months ago with great hassle, I figured they would abuse them somehow if they hadn't already so decided to de-google.
Fuck all this shit.
