Google photos is one of the worst among the lot. It is Apple of photo apps. Very little user control. No way to manually tag stuff or name stuff. The only reason I use it is for the free storage. The design philosophy treats users as dumbfuks. I'm looking to move everything out.

On a related note, how do I block Google from showing me the Answer blurb when I search for something, especially on desktop browsers?

Chill everyone. Ammon didn't mean to betray anyone's trust. He just executed public profiles feature very poorly and compared them to profiles on anonymous platforms which was naive. Before a lot of people see this and delete their profile if I were him I'd do this>

+Continue keeping it an opt-out feature. But give a long lead time. A month or two. Regular emails warning that profile will go public and a personalized screenshot of what exactly would be included. +If users want to approve the public profile, they will stop receiving these emails. They should also be able to choose who to show in their profiles. +If users forget to approve or deny, make an extremely minimalist profile public with only initials of the name listed.

# of users of Duo calling app is small and tending to zero. It is laughable to think that MS would name it Duo for this negligible benefit.

Facebook sure as hell won't create such a tool. If you do, open source it and I shall use it for sure.

Purely from a search quality and end user experience stand, I'd choose Google or Bing over ddg. I have given ddg a shot for over a couple of months. But I found myself using other search engines more often than not for the lack be quality results.

The Fellowship of the Ring. JRR Tolkein

"Frodo: I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened. Gandalf: So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us."

Resonates with me in real life a lot.

What's missing in most of the weather services is the recent history forecast vs observation.
