That would be a correct assessment, but that would not stop people from calling it that if that does happen.

UBI may sound like a worthwhile endeavor to a great many people, but I can't help but think of what we give up with such a system.

If I politicaly dissent from the majority (whomsoever that is or whatever they believe) what stops them—the government as often described—from stopping UBI from those that are deemed "unfit."

The eff had an interesting article[1] about this issue (and others) as well as some alternative ways solve the issue, not that I agree with all of them.

Ultimately, this is the wrong approach. The internet should be "open," and people or companies should be free to link to whatever they want without penalty.

Yes, github status says all is operational but hacker news is faster. Go figure.

I agree, perhaps I should have emphasized that my point of view is that anyone should back up anything stored on the cloud.

Which I'm glad to know you can at least do with Keychain [1], although I use Bitwarden myself.

Unless Apple ever starts following Google's lead to ban accounts for any infraction and you don't store backups...

Not saying Apple is doing that now, but I imagine it's not outside the realm of possibility.

Only on the web version for now[1]. Will definitely switch to this when all clients are supported.

If you put an asterisk between two words, it really confuses it.

Really neat app! I like the differences in outcomes each time.

There are many other products especially privacy focused, ente.io[1], PhotoPrism[2] that look interesting but as of this writing they can't touch Google Photos in many respects, which is why my wife and other family members still use it heavily. It's probably the only reason I'm still holding on to my google account.

> NOTE: The printer only works with original HP toner refill kits. If original HP toner is not installed in the printer, the printer will not work as expected.

Still vendor locked. Rather just stick with something you can refill yourself.
