Proton’s CEO Cancels AI ‘Re-Interviews’
(www.404media.co)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
What even is the alternative, I don’t see any other privacy focused company that is directly trying to tackle the g suite with an email+storage+office combo.
Sure we have mailbox.org, cryptpad, and other specific privacy cloud providers, but none of them have them all in combination.
IDK, I configured my own email with a cheap VPS when google made me mad so I didn't depend on anyone, but yeah that is not for everyone.
There's an argument to not have an all-in-one provider though: it increases vendor lock-in. If a company turns into a direction you don't like, you'd have to find a suitable alternative to replace all of your services, and that takes a lot of time and effort. If you spread it between multiple companies however, you'll only need to switch a few, maybe even have less work if you use a domain (for example for custom aliases).
Plus, something about Proton I disliked is that their products are missing key features you just expect from your products. For example, every mail provider offers you the option to add todo-lists or even journals, because WebDAV just has it, however Proton still lacks that to my knowledge. Other password safe programs have a folder system to better organise your entries. Proton Pass does not. I'd rather use many companies that each does one thing well than one that does everything rather mediocre.
