Face Groups sounds okay to me. What’s the issue here?
AI face recognition groups.
It’s not going to stop using your face, it’s just going to delete the groupings the AI came up with for your data.
The worst part being that I can’t do anything about it.
Depends on how much effort you want to put in! You can self host Immich which is a clone of Google photos. The demo they host here https://demo.immich.app/auth/login is very impressive.
Yes, a warning that something’s data is going to be deleted due to inactivity and a brief blurb on what the thing is in case you forgot because the inactive period is 2 years. How horrible.
AI is great when it’s self hosted. https://immich.app/
I use photoprism. Its great but it is not fully open source.
It looks like it does the same thing. Immich just has that familiar feel from Google Photos.
I’m.thinking to move to immich because it is fully open source and it allows multiuser where photoprism requires $ between you and multiple users. Probably not much money but I’m too cheap ass. And I don’t like to be corralled by software.
Multi-user yes, but those users better trust you the provider. It only stores images unencrypted in order for the AI features to work.
