Comment on Google tipped off authorities to illicit images in Canadian doctor's account, search warrants say
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 hours agoOh gods now you have me worried. 20 years ago I was a hundred pounds lighter and just a bag of skin holding a skeleton. There are some photos of me on my Google account that skinny. (also in your medical textbooks but anyways) and I also have photos of me now. We look like completely different people.

never too late to use another service to back up your photos! ente is a good alternative, i personally use proton drive (it’s kind of a crappy interface and not nearly as good as google, but it works). if you’re at all curious about self hosting, immich is basically a 1:1 google photos replacement.

google is our offsite backup. i’ve got a decent onsite already.

i feel you, i still have all my old photos from 2020 and before on google photos. the google takeout function didn’t even work for me, nearly half my photos were missing, so i have to manually download them i suppose. i get anxious still having so much stuff on there, but it’s so hard to migrate off especially after using it for a decade!

i’ve still got to ensure all my photos are off my last phone and on both backups (and that’s important because my dad died when i had that phone) and then make sure all the current phones and photos are backed up, and then make sure the current compy’s documents are backed up and i can try installing mint!
