Wow, I just tried searching for random objects. It works. I don’t know how if it detects everything but I got some good results.

I forgot to mention. You can obviously self host it. Server and client are open source.

I personally switched to Ente.io for shared photo albums. Works great. Encrypted, cheap and you don’t have to make an account as a guest user. I highly recommend that you give it a try. Also if you want to (opt-in). It got on device AI/ML for face and object recognition.

On Linux you can use https://libimobiledevice.org/ for backups and management.

Very specific…… sus

You can encrypt your /home separate with another password.

I use portmaster on my fedora instance. I disabled blocking all from LAN and made a custom rule set to allow some devices and block all others.

Chrome was not always based on chromeium. Chrome was based on Apple WebKit until 2013 when they forked WebKit and made the Blink engine.

You don’t have to self host it. It works like TeamViewer. You install it on both the client and host and with the ID and Password you can then access your remote client. But if you want more control/privacy you can host your own relay server.

RustDesk. Also possible with selfhost servers.

Beeper is maybe an alternative. It is basically a matrix bridge. But not only for WhatsApp, also for signal and iMessage and many more. (Now in Beta, later 10$ a month subscription) https://www.beeper.com

But when Apple ships the replacement battery with the Apple self service tools that they have today. Would that even change something for the iPhone? The amount of expertise is questionable.

The same problem is in politics in Germany. They vote only for the big politicians who have already a big group of supporters and so a high chance to win. Like „ I don’t vote for xyz because they have only 0.5% of voters in Germany and can’t change anything by that“ . With this attitude they also grow very slowly.
