    It took me years to get over the fact that I can’t simply copy and paste stuff from folder to folder anymore. Most phones these days won’t even let you do it, and some computers won’t either.

    Everything wants you to sync everything instead, and gives you these awful file managers like the photo apps that make you five different stupid albums that you didn’t ask for and can’t turn off, but makes you have to search around to find the basic albums that just hold your photos…

    Apple and Google are the worst, but even Microsoft tries to be more like them. I just don’t use a computer anymore, haven’t in years. When I do again, I’m definitely switching to Linux…

      Google Photos be like bet you certainly don’t want pictures you’ve recently taken or downloaded on the front page. Like what the hell if you don’t give me folders at least offer me the most likely things I’d want to do things with up front.

        "Here’s this embarrassing photo you forgot you took of yourself a year ago instead, and we went ahead and made a slideshow of random photos you took throughout the year with the data that we appropriated from your device. Oh, and here’s a map with pinpoints of all the locations where you’ve taken a photo.

        Oh, what’s that, you thought you turned off location permissions? Well, not since your last update you didn’t!"
