I already escaped everything big tech related except for my iPhone, but i will get myself a GrapheneOS pixel at some point. My biggest problem right now is my photos being stored on icloud. What can i do to prevent that?

There's also hosted and encrypted Ente at ente.io.

True but if you're gonna do that, might as well use Immich.

When I switched immich had incompatible changes every time I opened the app on my phone. I hear it's gotten a lot better about that.

I'm using immich as a daily driver for a year and some change now. The only breaking update was from beta to stable.

Immich is fantastic!

[-] JettuhGlowie@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 days ago

Yeah... i need to invest in that

While I do recommend this, it doesn't answer OP's question of preventing images from going to iCloud

[-] artyom@piefed.social 11 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

The obvious answer is "stop using iCloud and use Immich instead".

[-] StumblingWasabi@lemmy.today 1 points 6 days ago

My take is that OP is asking how to disable iCloud, not for alternatives to it

[-] mortalic@lemmy.world 0 points 5 days ago

Uhh... Yeah it does. Don't use iCloud. Host your own Immich server and move on with your life
