A small privacy win for this week:
For the collaboration with a team, Iāve chosen to make a Proton Docs document instead of the usual Google Docs document. This is for a āgame jamā, which is a challenge to make a game within a certain amount of time with a pre-chosen theme. These people are complete strangers to me, but weāve been using it for a few days now and everyone got on board with it with no pushback. It shows to me it has passed the smell test for being āa good enough alternativeā.
Rant: Iām really glad it just worked out. I think since Proton as a company has gotten bigger it really has been making waves, slowly disrupting the age-old landscape of Microsoft v.s. Google. What Iām about to say might be controversial, but in a way Iām glad they speak the notoriously marketing-first corpo language. Because this is the old tongue of the economy that unfortunately seems to make most people take them more seriously. The slice of the population that listens more to grass-roots vibes and authenticity-first marketing would still be classified as āearly adoptersā (as of now, because cultures arenāt static). By the way, on the topic of early adopters, itās so wild that in Finland 1 in 4 desktop computers uses Linux (servers not included, this page includes everything). Ever since I saw it Iāve been loving Finland based on this fact alone.
