Does everything Google photos does. Their app looks/feels exactly Google’s app, including sharing links. Assuming you’re running it on reasonably powerful hardware, it does all the same face recognition and ML based search that Google photos does.

TBH, I’ve never used any of those features. I just used it locally and plugged it into home assistant.

But I just reinstalled their app and can confirm I can watch the feed and get push notifications without a cloud account. Haven’t tried email tho

Oh wow their front page doesn’t mention at all that their products run locally and don’t require subscriptions.

It doesn’t seem like a very “walled” garden if they were able to migrate all their data including issues and comments

Pretty sure they can. Or at least, they can deny you entry into the country if you decline to unlock it for them.

You’ve never been to rural Japan if you think they primarily use public transport.

Hell, even in the outskirts of Tokyo most people have cars and drive.

That said tho, there’s no excuse for urban city centers to not be walkable.

IIRC it wasn’t legal action from Nvidia, but rather AMD pulling the funding that killed ZLUDA.
