DO NOT back up! Disgusted by Google
by disk_bearing from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6MH0P)
I have always selected "Do not back up." and "Do not sync." on my Android phone. When I routinely reset my phone, they ask too much and try to trick me. I patiently select "Do not back up." and "Do not Sync".
Google Photos, it seems, has been doing it anyway for years. There is no way to easily manually delete all of the photos they've backed up. They will only direct me to pages saying "Google respects your privacy and safety". I am so disgusted.
I need to get a pinephone and a standalone gps device or something. I'm studying self hosting but I'm not nearly that skilled yet.
If I knew I were capable, I would absolutely sue Google for this.
I am so disgusted.
