Too late, I already had the first interdimensional handshake.

Is a line really the shortest distance between two points if I can fold the paper and punch a pencil through it?

PWAs are cool af and widely used for publishing apps on the App/Play stores. It’s a shame they haven’t been adopted more widely for their original purpose of installing apps outside of those stores, but you can’t get everything you want.

I prefer face to face communication, speaking in code and whispering in eachother’s ears so nobody else can hear.

That’s not the bet. It’s a frivolous lawsuit with no chance at succeeding.

They’re either betting that defending it would cost more than $25M, that a bribe will bring them favor, or, more likely, accepting that the cost of doing business in Mein Dönald’s America is to periodically pay large baseless “fines” at the whim of a dementia patient.

It’s not a legal issue. They’d just shut down any accounts doing this. They already detect and shut down account sharing and this is just a variant of that. No law or government intervention necessary.

It’s certainly breaking TOS, so the country you’re in doesn’t matter.

If you’re fine with self hosting, you can just self host it and backup your local drives to a remote location. That’s what I do.

For backup software, I use Duplicacy. But Veeam, Borg, etc… would work just fine. For images, since they’re just static files and you don’t really need a version history, you could get away with a scheduled rsync job. Though, technically that leaves you more at risk of ransomeware or something that overwrites your data.

For remote storage, I’d first consider a Hetzner storage box since they are flat-rate pricing and pretty dang cheap at $13/mo for 5TB. You might also consider StorJ, B2, S3, etc… I’d just stay away from any lesser known ultra-cheap storage providers.

I hate this move and love my sideloaded apps. However, there are plenty of self hosted apps on the play store. It’s just putting in a unique address at setup, not compiling a whole unique app for each server.

And Samsung just got rid of ads in their apps, like Samsung Health, a few years ago. One step forward, two sprints back.
