Whoever decided to use dark patterns at @googlepixel to trick users into activating backup on photos while just trying to browse their Pixel just added to my chaos pile today.
Oh, yeah, I turned off the backup feature a year ago when I decided to go crazy with videos and one little push of the backup button would shut down my quota instantly.
Hand phone to child to view photos. Miss them hitting the backup all button. Quota destroyed.
@krupo @googlepixel Aves Gallery is also worth checking. https://github.com/deckerst/aves
@clergyman @googlepixel thank you for the suggestion, just installed
Now I have a competition between Fossify and Aves happening :)
@krupo @googlepixel I have Aves and https://ente.io which is open source Google Photos replacement. *(I’m currently in the process of moving from Google Photos to Ente) *
