Google photos on ios is literally a hostage situation. Remove key functionalities like copying an image or editing an image unless you give them full unrestricted access to your entire photo library. (The holy grail of surveillance capitalism data). Data extortion masquerading as a service.

~~You~~ I can't open the app without giving full access, and the only reason I use it is it's the only way to have a personalised album on the Chromecast. I'm in the progress of degoogling, a Roku hopefully has ethical options

Spoiler: Roku doesn't either. Immich + a RaspberryPi or other SBC is the way to go...

Roku's on my eternal blacklist after something... I think it was forcing users to accept data harvesting terms to continue using their tv's. Whatever it was, I know they're dead to me for life.

They have forced ads on your homescreen on the most expensive Roku you can buy. Completely bullshit. I immediately switched to Apple TV after buying the most expensive Roku and having that happen.
