>home NAS setups aren't realistic for most users
Citation needed. Get a Synology NAS and use their Photos app which backups Live photos on both iDevices and Androids. Buy it for life.

Where I grew up, just showing up at someone's house unannounced was a faux pas. Scheduling in advance was the only way to do shit.
I miss the days of going over to neighbors houses, ringing the doorbell and seeing if people wanted to do stuff.
That, or college just walking around dorms to find stuff going on.
There was a dream that was having a social life. You could only whisper it. Anything more than a whisper and it would vanish, it was so fragile.
-- Marcus Aurelius
It's half the reason people aren't social. They try so hard to "schedule a meetup" and the meetup becomes work so people stop hanging out.
You're just supposed to show up at someone's house and do shit.
You don't make friends by agenda. You have cool experiences , build trust and develop a bond.
While I generally agree with this sentiment - it's pretty hard to maintain friendships and relationships where both parties don't talk because they're both waiting to be spontaneous.
I don't "book/plan" things with friends, but it makes a massive difference to consistently reach out and nurture friendships.
The way you're describing meeting people seems fun, but half the time folks are busy with life or other stuff to be spontaneous.
I work from home, live far away from family, and sometimes the only social interaction I get each day is getting marketing text messages from HelloFresh. I then can take the time to go speak to my local barista for ~30 seconds and buy a drink.

This law is not about protecting us from the harms of social media, and it doesn't even literally ban TikTok; so this framing of it being whackamole is missing the point.
What we really need is strong data privacy laws and child development guided policies. But that's not the point of the law either.
I guess it depends what lens you are looking through. Most people on TikTok would happily give their SSN, DOB, and any data over to a company to watch videos, make money on silly shit that happens on TikTok.
Other folks think TikTok is legitimately a news source and the government is keeping things from them.

We should have much stricter use policies on them. Especially for the younger demographics. Between social media, pay to win gaming, phone access, and loot boxes, we're really just setting young people up for failure.
I'd take a page out of the Korean approach to gaming where your SIN is associated with your login and some activities hold time/usage requirements.
If it were up to me, I'd straight up ban social media for youth and not allow parents to upload so much content involving their kids... Basically stealing the privacy of the kids in the process.
We used to care about privacy in society, but it feels dead now.
Maybe I'm too old, but I DO NOT understand the TikTok livestreams of people sleeping, obvious pre-recorded video, etc...and people sending gifts constantly.
The "creator fund" incentivized just posting a lot, sharing, and once Tiktok shop was introduced almost every other video is someone talking about "Tiktok shop made a mistake on pricing buy this item". Shills all of them. I don't think being a "creator" on TikTok should be a "job" for people.

A lot of folks on TikTok have been speculating that Meta/Musk/etc might become owners in some way. Shou, the TikTok CEO - apparently updated his bio to not include "TikTok CEO" post-blackout.
I personally, feel that it's quite a reach for the government to ban social apps such as TikTok. It's pretty much just become endless posts of people trying to make a living off of commission/sales/views. Something will obviously replace it if it does get banned (much like Vine), but "creator culture" is just depressing.
I used to visit his personal site to see updates, but It's been awhile since I last looked.
I do however frequently watch this interview with him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNAtbYSxzuA

Super visible with the naked eye an hour and a half east of Denver. At some points the whole sky turned colors from green/pink/blue.
Some photos if anyone is interested
Nextcloud has some neural network integrations so implementing something like that might be possible. The Memories app can already use the Recognize app for the smart tags for Photos.
Combining it with "The Search Page" app makes it a quite comfortable experience as is.
How easy are these integrations to setup? I use straight up Nextcloud sync and while it works most of the time sometimes it's a little finnicky (when I don't have cell service or something like that)
As I said on irc:
He brought many people into the community, and encouraged their growth (like me)
I popped into the scene by sending a few Moose patches and then coming onto irc displaying an utter lack of understanding of anything
Matt set me straight, and encouraged me to send more patches and I ended up as the manager for Moose
and then inherited the ownership of literally hundreds (perhaps thousands by now) distributions
that work helped me move from being mediocre at my job to being stellar, and enabled me to move on to much better jobs
