Too much advertising, it just feels off.

Haven't seen a single bit of toxic stuff yet, my feed is all cute art and photography.

It didn't shatter, it broke. So technically they lived up to their claims.

I don't like that google selectively chooses to show certain businesses over others.

But at the same time the lower screenshot is just pure information overload, it has way too much going on for a casual map to use while walking around and that sort of thing.

Firefox with uBlock Origin also works nicely.

I'm always conflicted on this kind of thing, because for every person annoyed that it's asking there's a bunch that are complaining that they lost all their photos because their phone was stolen or something like that, and had no idea that they need to backup their stuff.

One reason may be that they're not actually off when the ignition is off, they're just asleep like your phone is when the screen is off but it's still powered on.

I imagine the overlap of people who use Snapchat and people who use Firefox is pretty small, they probably see such a small amount of users with Firefox and they just decided not to support it.

Syncthing keeps folders in sync between multiple devices, it doesn't have any concept of users since it's not designed for that.

You want Nextcloud or similar 'google drive' replacement if you want to share individual files and folders with specific users easily.

A Pi 5 8GB is very expensive once you buy the power supply, case, cooling, adapters, etc.. And you're stuck with ARM64 stuff which doesn't support some things.

Personally in your shoes I would spend $80 or so on a USFF PC with an 8th or 9th gen Intel CPU off ebay.

They're also useful because they're easy to deploy, contain all the dependencies needed, portable, and isolate things breaking from affecting the host or other containers.

I'm not picking up any new Google products, they kill everything off so often.
