I’m using Proton with my own domain + calendar + proton pass and I’m quite happy!
Because I was still unsure of it at first, I was using Proton side by side with other services for a while. But I noticed it covered everything I needed with a couple of nice additions.
With email I’m using multiple custom domains plus you can set a catch-all for each. Pass also offers unlimited forwarding emails to avoid spam.
Haven’t really used drive all that much yet, so can’t say anything about it.
Also, supporting a company that depends on neither shareholders or advertisements is a nice change
The article isn’t talking about smart devices generally but corporate owned devices subject to enshittification
It’s supposed to reduce how much a company can leverage their market dominance in one market to get an unfair advantage in another one.
See how Amazon places their products (ex. Backpacks) in more prominent positions on their dominant market. Here the unfair advantage is that if a company is already using Microsoft Office and it comes bundled with Teams (for “free”) what chance would Slack or other comm systems have?
I’d say Matrix / Elements is a good alternative.
It’s based on an open and interoperable protocol, similar to the fediverse. So it doesn’t matter the client, as long as your friends are on something that support Matrix they’ll be able to join the group.
As an added bonus, if elements start going down the enshittification path you can just drop them. Also, you can host your server just like teamspeak
