    For those looking for some Google alternatives:

    • Qwant has a custom indexing strategy and is okay
    • Brave Search ~uses Google and Bing~ EDIT: they use a custom index too
    • Startpage uses Google and Bing and it’s prettier than Brave IMO
    • SearX is ugly but has a lot of sources
    • Perplexity AI tracks the shit out of you but it’s decent
    • Kagi is customizable but it costs you

    Feel free to add on any I missed or opinions on these; I haven’t used any extensively

    EDIT: Ecosia for trees and DDG for Bing without ads







  • More context would help. What platform do you have available? What have you already tried? How much do you have to transfer? What are you planning to transfer to? How much storage do iCloud backups use? Etc.

    A couple suggestions come to mind off the top of my head. First, you can use the web interface for photos and iCloud drive to download your files, but this may be slow. You can load your photos from the Mac Photos app, which usually has a fast export time. Be aware of third party alternatives, as many aren’t compatible with Live Photos or don’t export all the metadata.
