Yeah, but the astroturfing botfarms are only activated to foment “oohh aahh yeah gotta be responsible with our children’s debt” opinions when it’s the other way around. And of course all big “news” entertainment papers and shows are in on it because of access and money. I mean, they’re all doing what they’re paid for and the general public can’t be arsed to be smart about it, call bullshit and cut off the value extraction because of perceived inconveniences (data harvesting = ability to manipulate/steer public opinion = value to sell to those seeking power & control). the populace is the commodity being sold here.

Was trying this, but I’ve had issues with the app not properly synchronizing with the server. Does that work for you and if so, what’s your setup?

Was supposed to replace “Bring” and due to the issues, currently using grocy, where sync works, but is otherwise very tedious to manage inventory.

Thanks for clarifying, haven’t messed with iPhones since 2015

What’s this photos app (is it multiplatform?) and are there requirements for the computer in terms of software it needs to run?

Otherwise Localsend or KDEConnect are friends for transferring files.
