How might private storage compete with corporate super hardrives for websites? There is the darkweb Wikipedia and internet archive and a decent amount of data on the0 fediverse. There may be a point where megacorps have eyes in the terminal of computers what is the logistics of open source computers with all the components and what would it be like?

Btw When I was very young the megacorps were something cool and I am poor so if I’m the product then it’s fine. Your money went towards better products like the Mac, Imovie and more (at least in perception). but I have an irrational feeling that what was once free in the mid 2010s is now a bucket load of money that since the Russian disinformation campaign and the turn of many companies towards sucking every last penny by charging for what was once taken for granted out of their users innovation has stifled and what was once free is captive.

    My main issue with Nextcloud is that the photos app still doesn’t have any way to properly sync on mobile sadly :/ Photoprism at least has a PWA but it’s still not ideal. That’s the main thing keeping me on iCloud personally.

        I think they’re talking about having an app that ties into the photos-related APIs on the mobile OSes, so, for example, when you click “attach photo” in some other android/iOS app, the photos would show up there. Or have a tie in to the camera to automatically upload photos, etc.

        It works in a sense that it shows you a list of all your media in the app and syncs photos from your phone to the cloud. But it doesn’t make the features from within the photos app (albums, people, places) available in the app. That doesn’t really compare to Apple / Google Photos sadly.
