Can confirm, seen it live. As soon as LogSeq was open on both devices it threw an error.

I'm not familiar with such solutions, but I wouldn't get your hopes high, as Google Docs is not a collection of publicly available files (like YouTube), rather files closed behind different accesses.

Based on this, depending on how a file is shared with you, you could be asked to authenticate yourself somehow. Without the deeper understanding of your situation, I can only think of one solution: downloading these files with manipulating the links, like this for example (if they are public): https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9045392/getting-the-download-link-for-a-public-google-docs-file?rq=1

If they are not public, I think you still have the chance to do this, but I can't see any steps around authenticating with Google in their own site. And then download the file.

Just from Google Photos or IRL? 😀

I'm mostly on board with this, but even with using only trusted, vetted... apps (which is already a huge challenge for some) I wouldn't go for sure that none of those are going rouge (as we saw before: some adv company buying a decent SW and making it a bloatware).

Getting back to my first point: I just had a situation where I had to install Viber for example, and I can't stress enough how grateful I was for the Storage and Contact scopes features.

I feel like their goal is more close to providing a privacy-minded alternative to Google's G-suite to "regular" users, so for me it totally makes sense. But yeah, I'm also really waiting for the Linux drive app.

Do you have any smart home setup as of now? Asking because if you have a Hue Bridge or Home assistant running at homefor example, that could narrow the results.

300 searches/month feels tight for my use case. How do you manage? Are you using something else for search?

I'm using DDG and I'm ok with it, every one out two time a month I check Google results for some topic, and DDG seems to do well.

None of these feel like essential feature for me, I'll be still more happy using a custom ROM.

Unless OP is a gardener :D But totally agree, if it's an office job, doing some physical work can do wonders.

That's the only good thing in this story. It usually gets ugly when guns are also involved.

Do you see where I'm going here, or do I have to involve it in my story for you to see?

Totally get your point, and this is the logical way to think about it, but I'm not sure what decision I would make when I don't have the time to think through.

Also, I don't think we can be sure that this store policy is not about guns, at least in part. I'm not from the States, but when there's the implication of more people seriously hurt in public, in the USA, that's where my mind is.

I feel like OP did the right thing by heart, and this story would have had a different ending in a country with different gun laws and history of gun violence. Also if the case really is OP was let go to show others that they should not engage in this "reckless behaviour" I feel it at least it should have been communicated as such when fired.
