'Morale is at an all-time low': Ex-Googler writes scathing latter slamming layoffs and 'eroded' culture
(www.businessinsider.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I am probably the perfect google customer. I used google search when it still had an exclamation point. I got my gmail account by invite in ‘04. Downloaded chrome on day one. I used nexus/pixel phones almost exclusively
Today, ddg search on Firefox. I am using an iPhone. I still have the gmail account but I am slowly migrating away from it. I am done with google. They don’t produce anything that has any value for me anymore.
I'm doing all the same as you
What I'm not moving away from though is Google Maps and Photos. No good alternatives exist
For photos, I have been using Immich, and have been very impressed. It has pretty much all the features I want (automatic backup, chronological timeline, mobile/web app, face tagging, semantic search, albums, sharing, etc). It's a server you self-host though, so setting it up might be a pain if you've never done something like that before.
This looks good as a self hosted option, but I want something hosted.
Pay for a cloud server and install it? There's a hosted option 😀
Lol I've been a software developer for 20 years, I'm well aware of what it takes to maintain a server. Which is exactly why I would rather pay someone else to do it
Amazon photos?
This is super neat
