I don't have any pics there I'd mind losing, but for those who do, how is this not extortion?
This is why I don't trust photo hosting sites
Nowadays if I have to use them, I'll use archive.org to save that hosted photo

How does archive.org work?
The "Simple" app collection the FOSS community loves did the same thing with their play store version calendar, which is why I dislike them. Their FDroid versions may not do this, but like... comes off the wrong way.
Isn't calendar info stored in android itself ? 🤨
That's not the claim made by a ton of reviews on Simple's play store calendar listing
I think I'd rather believe official documented android behavior.
I can access my calendars from any app on android... maybe they couldn't access it from the app, that I can believe ; but then that's not at all like "pay us or lose your photos".
I've tried simple calendar you can't it's clearly not using the android calendar system but it's own one stored in the apps data so it doesn't share to other apps
I'm using it as my main calendar app, all my events are accessible from other apps.
At the bottom of the "add event" menu, you have the option of choosing where it's stored ("event types" in the settings, rather confusingly). I guess that choosing "locally" could prevent other apps from seeing the event, maybe, but I don't use that option because I sync my calendars.
All Play Store releases of Simple are paid.
They weren't in the past, and the transition was problematic
Oh man, my 2000s forum signatures are in danger!
Wow, I haven't thought about those in years.
I've had apps do this. One was the old white pages app that changed their name to something... I think it was Hiya? They had the app free for years and users would add in call data (names to numbers). Essentially it was a community data pool. One day, they shut the gate and the only way the app would function is via a subscription every month. Eat my ass. I'm not doing that and you're a dick.
they have been warning me for at least five years now and not actually done anything lmao
first flickr, now this
“Hurry up asshole!!”
dystopia is when no free stuff :(
