It’s data privacy. You won’t save any money, google is dirt cheap when it comes to storage, because of their scale. (I’m talking storage you can use for Immich pictures)

In hindsight I am baffled that I accepted for google to have all my pictures, scan all the faces, etc. Insane.

But when everyone is doing it, it turns something off in the brain. I attended a seminar where the explanation was: We don’t have the cognitive resource to do a deep analysis (or any analysis) of every single decision every minute, which is why, evolutionary, we relied on crowd wisdom to move such decisions from CPU to ASIC, the ASIC being “is everyone else doing it?”.

I am still angry at myself that I gave them my pictures for years, the pictures of my relatives’ kids, etc.

@Immich team: pleeeeease add the horizon straightening feature.
