I am more looking into BTRF for backup due to I run Linux and not BSD ZFS requires more RAM I only have one disk I want to benefit from snapshots, compression and deduplication.

I can in Thunderbird but I don’t reply to companies. They have no reply email adress. Like here is your order number or there is our latest campaign. I use customer chat for help or company have internal message system like banks. In general I like to avoid using email due to the protocol design.

For me this would not work. I have my own domain and give out like me-authy@example.com So if the email is sent to that I wound just know who leaked my email adress. Change email and ban everything to to the old adress. I never get spam this way.

What is the official reason here for removing it?

I want to take all my phone calls. I very rarely get one. Maybe 1 time per 6 months on my private phone. I have meetings on teams but don’t count them as it is remote working and only for work.

Besides, Google products just dies.

Can’t they just code this like an assistant or something? Much more power efficient.

You DO get a choice. You can shift to any other operating system in the world. I did go to Fedora with KDE.

This increase competition a lot. I like it. Sure people using iPhone may not like options, but at least some can now.

As it requires going inside me, i wound never use it regardless of what it can do.

It is funny how they think this product useful to so many people. I believe they only do it because they have to use AI in any way but could not come up with something better.

That is good news - I assume they are done with the replacement as they announce this, otherwise they are just stupid. The problem is - why did it take this long time for a trillion dollar company to archive it?

Wow. Is it even legal to have it that long?

I bet a lot was of details were missing in there as well.

The different popups just show how bad design the web is today.

Ask cookie question is required.

Agreement? Read them 1 hour until you have understood everything.

Webbrowser: can I get your location? And please the mic and video too!

Finally, don’t forget the ads!

Perfect

Ok. Can someone please update https://killedbygoogle.com/ with this and increase the counter with +1?

I would be less against flatpaks if you could do everything with it. But it seems to try to slow multiple problems at the same time and failing.

I think it is time to actually come up with a better design solution.

Well, as long as you have prepared a backup system then you should be fine. Like dual booting into Linux

The idea with flatpaks are flawed by design as everything can’t be there. I want to install the latest version of these there: kde Plasma, wayland, Nvidia drivers, and the Linux kernel. It will never be available there. Better to go back to the drawing board on how to fix this in a good way.

He is just afraid of learning new things. Best way here is to show him how it works. Learning.

Yes, with Windows it is a fight about disabling all the new stuff they come up with. Here, you must use OneDrive if you save a file. Here, lots of ads in the start menu, nothing is installed. Or here, please try copilot+ or bing. Do you want to set bing as your startup page? If you say no, we will ask you again… A new windows update? Lets ask everything again.

Picasa because it had worked fine. And the replacement, Google photos, is not an option with storing everything in the cloud. Both Darktable and Digikam looks too advance. I think Gwenview will be a good fit. Will try later when she has the time to test. Just viewing the images in the folder, that is all that is needed.

It would be a good idea with the Office 365 but we don’t want things in the Cloud. If the PWA could run offline it would be a different story.
