    Hasn't this been around for a while? I've had the option on my phone since last year. And while Google isn't exactly trustworthy, it's better than some of the shadier free options out there.

    It's fast and it's accessible for non-techy people. Certainly better than using an unsecured network with no protection at all.

    Would anyone be interested in adding some Yakuza pixel art to the lemmy canvas? Some suggestions: - [Post-0 Majima in this piece](https://art.ngfiles.com/images/1501000/1501142_cyansquare_yakuza-0-pixelart-fan-art.png?f1605100966) from [cyansquare](https://cyansquare.newgrounds.com/) - [Friday Night](https://www.pixelworldsgame.com/uploads/db6026/original/3X/f/c/fcaa658dc7e702ac7231cff9af12273efedded73.png) from [Bogdaneeh](https://www.pixelworldsgame.com/t/yakuza-0-world-pixel-art/17752) - [Ichiban (and the squad)](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/7d11c24e-db9b-44c3-9cf1-effa3639ee17.png) from the game itself I believe

    On mastodon, someone created a bot that can mirror anyone's tweets. Just take their Twitter handle and append "@bird.makeup". There's a little jank, but it made the switch a lot easier for me.

    There's another one that does specific sports-related accounts under sportsbots.xyz and works very well.

    I have a hard time taking anyone seriously who uses "cucked" in a tagline. This "article" is unreadable with embedded posts every other sentence

    What I could make out says that someone owns a mastodon instance and another site attempted to link users who came from the same IP address. Is there anything more to this?

    I like B personally, but the choices aren't adaptable icons on Android 🥲 if anyone knows a good way of forcing that on Nova launcher let me know

    That's a good point, thanks for explaining. Something I try to remember is that you not only have to trust the company who's managing your data, but you also have to trust them to protect it from bad actors.

    I'm trusting Bitwarden for now, but eventually I'd like to move to a self-hosted option like Vaultwarden. I think that's the best way to go if you're confident in administering it.

    I use random passwords for every account and using a password manager is the best way I've found to manage that. Is there another method that you prefer?

    I'm a recent Immich adopter, but one thing that seems to be missing compared to Google photos is the ability to manually backup by picking and choosing individual photos. Am I missing something or can you only do "all or nothing" with folder backups?
