  • This reminds me of my experience with COVID lockdown. Obviously, a pandemic and the vulnerable being sick and losing over a million American lives (and much more globally) was horrible. But for a short time, it was incredible to see the amount of people just visiting parks in the middle of the day and enjoying the warm spring that year. Getting outside to nature was a way a lot of people coped with the isolation and it was beautiful in a way. Moms and grandmas were sewing cloth masks, distilleries switched to making hand sanitizer, people in my area began using local businesses more. There was a definite sense of community, even if it happened through FaceTime calls and social distancing. There are always silver linings to tragedy, I guess.


  • My only issue with it is that on my iphone, the app constantly freezes and says I have 3 photos left to upload. It’s almost certain to freeze for a few minutes and the upload becomes stalled as well. This behavior made it take a long time to backup my library and it makes it a pain in the ass to share photos quickly with people. Popping into the webUI has none of these issues (just no uploading of my photos). I still quite love the app




  • Becoming a parent (especially in today’s world where many older people aren’t educated on tech) is going to be a huge battle of boundaries. Thanks for your response! I realize my baby won’t be able to avoid it all but I believe (hope) there’s a difference in thousands of photos hitting advertisers/training algorithms and the few that will slip through.

    Lesser of two evils, I guess. I will definitely try to write out some simple rules and a basic explanation for it. Thanks, again!
