I'm sort of stuck now.

I want to use #Tutanata, but with no IMAP and having to rely on an app that hasn't yet been optimized for mobile screens is kind of frustrating. Mobile sort of becomes second class then.

But the alternative? #Proton. The point was to get away from big tech companies that pose a threat to the user, not end up in the same boat.

Proton is positioning itself as an alternative to #GoogleWorkspace though...

📰 Brasil e big techs: do servidor à servidão
É a lógica do “aluguel perpétuo”. País investe bilhões para armazenar dados públicos em corporações estrangeiras. Em uma cadeia opaca, intermediários invisíveis impedem auditorias e blindam big techs. Setor educacional é um dos mais capturados.
[...] A situação é ainda mais grave quando olhamos para o setor educacional. Universidades públicas, que poderiam ser polos de inovação em tecnologias abertas e autônomas, estão cada vez mais capturadas por pacotes corporativos fechados. O uso de suites educacionais da Google, a contratação de servidores Microsoft e a migração para nuvens proprietárias estão destruindo a possibilidade de formação crítica e soberana em tecnologia. Em vez de formar desenvolvedores, formamos consumidores. Em vez de ensinar código, ensinamos login. Em vez de liberdade, cultivamos dependência. [...]

Fediverse, I have a rant I need to get off my chest. Groups in Google Workspace is a security nightmare and has been for years! Why has Google STILL not fixed the glaring problems!?

I've had admin powers at 5+ companies' Google Workspace/G Suite over the past decade or so. Every single one had groups which were misconfigured, often so anyone in the whole company could join without approval or see the message history at https://groups.google.com without being a member at all.

This is because for any sensible configuration of Google Groups when using it for email groups you have to use the "Custom" permissions mode. The default Public mode doesn't allow external people to email the group, but does allow the whole company to see all the messages. The default Team mode, has the same problem of everyone being able to see all the messages.

Also let's not forget that dangerous little "Anyone in the organisation can join" toggle at the bottom which is on by default. So any random new starter can join your confidential company directors group and get all the emails sent to it.

Giving Google the benefit of the doubt here, I think the reasoning might be that Google Groups is intended as a kind of company forum, not for private email groups. However that isn't how anyone uses it in my experience...

Fuck your AI bullshit, Google. I don't use it and I don't want to pay for it either.
