Yeah, but a physical backup service in critical areas like fax could remain too.
In the context of current events, it seems a practical and smart crisis planning step. Especially useful for hospitals and institutions to secure a necessary data flow.
I think I’ve read somewhere today that Germans did the same.
I think, this is especially relevant in Europe. The open source / European tech services could be used as a backup at least. It’s very shortsighted to rely just on one service provider. Such service disruptions like the recent one make one wonder about when Europe finally gets a wake up call and we truly look at how we can build own tech properly.

I hear Astermail is nice. Free? I’m not sure about this either.
Thanks for highlighting this. I also hear similar arguments. Something like “if nobody is using these alternatives, then why make a switch from the secure and blah bleh blah big tech giant?”. It’s annyoing for sure. Also, some could migrate to Proton, some to mailbox etc. The diversity would be potentially beneficial.
Germans: Oldschool, praktisch, gut. Jaaa…
Proton Meet is nice. It’s like Teams, but less complicated. Also, more private.
There’s a catch. Companies that have made a switch are still in the minority. We can enjoy the working systems and yet there will be no communication with quite many organisations.

Cats! There are some pretty solid dog videos too.
Here you go, mate. Cheers.
