iCloud deleted Disneyland

In 2019 we went to Disneyland, a place that I am incredibly fond of, and it was an emotional rollercoaster on a personal level. Not only could I show my daughter and my wife the place, it was a step back into my childhood.

We made memories as a family, mostly good ones, with some incredible images to look back on.

The other day I was looking for an image, to find that the 300 - 400 or more images of Disneyland had been reduced to a mere handful.

Just gone. And yeah, I checked everywhere β€” every device.

That tore me apart.

Thankfully I have an offsite backup from a year ago... although I wonder what the fuck else that piece of garbage crap managed to delete.

Screw shitty software. Screw Apple.

At least I know what my little personal summer project will be now. Can’t deal with the incompetence anymore. Gotta do it myself because I seem to be able to write better software for my own needs on a budget of zero than some rotten fruit.

For now I have paid Google to hold my photos. I’ve got plans to get my Family OS project off the ground soon so I can use it with my family.
