I'm tired of the Google Photos app constantly nagging me about backing up my photos in their cloud. Enough! Hey Lemmings, what photo gallery app do you use these days? (lemmy.world)

Android could break it, but I don't subscribe to the philosophy that an essentially bug-free, functioning piece of software needs constant updates to stay useful. If Android doesn't break it with API shenanigans, I'm perfectly happy to continue using it.

If Android does break it, all it is is a file syncing service. SyncThing could slot into the workflow with minor effort.

Modular systems rock. They have many advantages over all-in-one, monolithic systems; that they're harder for users to set up and use is almost the only way they're inferior.
