I don’t really understand how, but there’s some misunderstanding happening here. You can still backup non-analog photos that don’t come from a phone. I have a Nikon Z6-II. I take the memory card out, I stick it in a reader, I back it up. None of it requires a network connection or an untrusted computer. Asking about backing up your photos has nothing to do with analog or digital, spying governments or not.

Stock market value isn’t how much money a company has. And Google “only” made 132 billion in 2025, revenue isn’t income. So 1 billion is almost 1% of their global income for the entire year. It’s not a small amount. On top of that they only made 33 billion in revenue (not income!) in the European market, so it’s an even higher percentage, more like 12% of their income for the entire year.

It’s a fucking huge amount for any market to be fining Google. Yeah it’s nothing in comparison to their global worth, but you’re acting like they’re going to get fined out of existence which will never happen.

High triple digits means 500 million-1 billion (-1). That’s not a small amount.

The link you provided even said it’s satire.

What are you talking about? Both China and North Korea have tried taking over their neighbors numerous times. North Korea routinely launches missiles at SK, while China literally attacks Philippine and Taiwan boats in the straight of Taiwan. Azerbaijan has been attacking Armenia since 2021.

Wikipedia has a massive list. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ongoing_armed_conflicts

There are very few countries that aren’t hostile. Switzerland is the only one I can think if right now, but I know there are more neutral countries.

You can take photos with regular cameras you know… ones without any network connection at all.

Huh? Your comment doesn’t make any sense. What does a phone os have to do with backing up your photos? And what does encryption or network have anything to do with backing up your photos either? You can run Immich on Linux.

Very clear you didn’t read the article.

You can just host your own. Like Immich.

This explains political affiliations a lot

Fantastic photos of the meanest bird!

Not really. LLMs are still completely unable to manage even medium scale architectures. At a corporate scale they’re literally just spending on trying to have the most context they can in the LLM. There’s no getting around it.
