All it should be is a goddamn mailbox. Instead it's now an ad-fueling chunk of spyware that has fucking social media bullshit built into it. I started paying for Proton and have been emptying my Google crap

What have Google developed inhouse that’s good since Gmail?

Android and YouTube were both acquisitions.

Hm, 8.8.8.8? That was 5 years after Gmail.

Docs, Sheets, and Slides were all acquisitions. I guess Drive and Forms are good.

Google has one of the biggest data/ad empires on the planet and is doing just fine lol

[-] Venator@lemmy.nz 12 points 6 months ago

I think that's part of the reason they tend to fail in other areas: it's just not important enough to them except for the data it generates for thier ads.

I don't feel like Chromebooks are all that bad. Especially if the other option is limited capacity computer rooms. I imagine the restrictions of a Chromebook would be similar to the limitations imposed by the IT department.

It's good if you need to protect and restrict a large group of computer illiterate people with low needs for applications or power.
