I use DuckDuckGo but say Google for this exact reason. If I'm talking to someone I actually like I usually elaborate to say "Google isn't the search engine I actually use because it's sus, but you know what I mean"
as som have mentioned. I call email, email. And I call video conferencing video conferencing and would say hop on a conference call or just call. I mean many people dial in. Video is just standard now but they used to be done with just phones. I usually say the message app used as at a workplace its whatever they use. Open some windows is talking about gui windows not ms windows. I don't get the alternative thing at all. Its like that thing with ms not being able to trademark windows because windows is a common word. you say windows don't let ms own that trump. I do say google sometimes for search and that is bad but I often say search or look it up. I just need to stop saying google sometimes.

I'm pretty sure that in this specific context, it's actually referring to the physical windows that you would crack to let in some fresh air. I'm also pretty sure that this post was a joke, LOL.
My issue with Protonmail is that, last I checked years ago, I couldn't set up email forwarding or a local client without paying for an upgrade. So there's a soft form of lock-in to prevent changing providers.

What the fuck is wrong with just saying email? It's been around for decades.
If someone said to me "Could you crack a Linux" I would walk away slowly and avoid eye contact.
Fmstrat@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 113d
Because this is a Proton Ad.
RodgeGrabTheCat@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 113d
Could be.

Picking another corporation to base your language around isn't better. Why not refer to the general privacy concepts that corporation claims to have?

hehe, yikes
between Proton moving operations and its CEO being a MAGA (or at least a Trump sycophant), the advice to adopt Proton has really curdled recently

but if enough people use google as a general verb, the word will stop being owned by alphabet (from my understanding)

Its been so hard to stop saying google it but im getting there, they really got us good with their branding brain worm
zikzak025@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 119d
At the same time, Google hates people using their name generically for web searching because it risks them losing the trademark.
So I guess I am conflicted, because I hate to acknowledge Google more than I need to, but would love to see the term become meaningless.

comfy@lemmy.ml · 4 pts · 119d
Luckily I find it pretty easy to avoid using brand names and just use the plain old verb.
Search it for me. Look it up. Message me. Send it to me, I'll send this back to you. Set up a call, a meeting, a video call.
eodur@piefed.social · 4 pts · 119d
Pretty sure "to google" means to search for something and get nothing but ads, bad answers, and frustration now. Dunno why anyone would want that.
Or maybe it means "to create a cool product then kill it while it's still popular."
mech@feddit.org · 2 pts · 119d
"Could you DuckDuckGo that for me?" just doesn't work the same.
pomegranatefern@sh.itjust.works · 12 pts · 119d
"Hey, can you Duck around and find out?"

Do we trust proton mail? Is tutamail a better alternative?
Hakuso@scribe.disroot.org · 1 pts · 119d
Tuta is much better than proton, but I'm finding Germany to be more than a bit sus lately, too.
I need to find a provider in Iceland or something, where there's still a bit of respect for actual people.

I could really go for some ice cold Linux right now.
