Very well I would say (20gb and counting). More importantly: Zotero is the only one that does Web scraping correctly. If you are looking at a paywalled article, it will capture your DOM from the browser, so you get what you are looking at. DevonThink and many others choke at paywalled content because they try to access the content independently.

Last but not least: thanks to the developers for the latest updates that bring zotero to a more modern experience. The iOS app specifically is awesome!


One point that makes this important for me: this is not a random guy with a questionable business trying to smear paypal, as far as I can tell, these are the real developers of LittleSnitch, a well known, established development team in the EU.


Paypal is also registered as a bank in the EU (in Luxembourg), and as such is liable as a bank for such things. I just don't think someone bothered to take them to court over it.


AFAIK, using these images for training without proper consent makes the resulting dataset and model legally problematic.


It has nothing to do with training. The only part that copyright would protect against is transmitting your photos' information to Adobe.

There's probably a clause in there about Adobe being able to do exactly that for reasons.


I disagree (but also, IANAL). They use the private images to train their models. Means the image is part of a data set, and this is subject to licensing. The image is however part of your private collection, so the license, besides the wording in the privacy page, is sketchy at best. Also, it will collide with GDPR and CCPA rules on data processing. Data models are subject to licensing too, and using images without proper licenses “poisons the well”.


Usually the copyright on a data set is held by the person who accumulated the data, but mere compilation is not enough to bestow copyright. The arrangement and selection itself needs to be sufficiently creative or original.

Putting all your photos in a folder does create a dataset, but doesn't meet the threshold of creative input for that dataset to be copyrightable as a compilation.

Now, you do hold the copyright on all of your photos. This means that you can restrict their transmission to others. You can even transmit them to someone as part of a contract that they not engage in a particular activity, like training an AI.

But if they proceed to train an AI using them, they've committed a breach of contract, not copyright. And I'll tell you, I'm not a lawyer myself, but instead a SME who works with a lawyer, and in order to receive relief for breach of contract, a judge is going to look to said contract in order to calculate damages. If you have a contract that says that something is a breach, but no language that assists a judge in calculating damages, you shouldn't assume you're going to get any relief in excess of, perhaps, an injunction.

And I'm afraid my knowledge is very US-specific.


You can try DAViCal https://www.davical.org/


Tried it when I played with WSL. Like with radicale [1], I don't remember what specifically wasn't working properly but it didn't.

Any chance to add OneDrive in the future?


Absolutely. Will be available in next month


If you are in the EU, you have the right to take the data with you. Thanks, GDPR.
