From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This pisses me off a lot
They designed their photos app to always ask "y u no backup" and scare you "you gonna lose all your photos if u no backup" and ask to enable backup with the "no thanks" button under the fold
Enable backup = Gmail blocked within one hour because of all the photos we all have in our phones nowadays
So you have to pay or delete that pictures from their servers
Pay Google: unacceptable
Delete the pics from web: they get deleted from phone automatically and there isn't an option to only delete from web but keep in phone
Disable the photos app on the phone: the (Google) camera app doesn't show shot preview anymore because it says photos app is missing
They clearly had multiple meetings to make it harder as possible
