I know it's bad to say but MS office is a real barrier. That and done other compatibility issues with Windows apps made me abandon Ubuntu for Windows after several months where I otherwise loved it.

That generational improvement is not the natural order of the universe. It's the result of individuals putting themselves in harms way to push for change. It's hard-fought legislation moving the cause forward. It's constitutional amendments. It's legal cases won against the odds. It's corporations jumping on the bandwagon not wanting to be seen to oppose respectable society.

But those who have always fought against the process are racking up wins. That generational change you've observed that looked inevitable is under severe threat. You cannot count on it happening by itself.

So it's an end to financially strapped customers being squeezed by exorbitant late/overdraft fees to fund free accounts for everyone else.

Sounds like that was always a screwed up business model.

Also, when the CEO announces price increases and says "expects other banks will follow suit" that is designed to give cover to the other banks. JP Morgan takes the reputational hit for being first, to make it easy for the rest to raise prices also. Collusion in the open, so that JPM doesn't lose customers to competitors.

For every proton post, can we please get a bot that auto posts these, to save everyone the effort:

  • proton isn't private / yes it is / they never claimed to be
  • wasnt there a case when they shared that activist account / you have the facts wrong, here's what actually happened
  • [insert proton app name] for Linux when? / Linux is only x% of user base
  • proton needs to finish [insert proton app name] before starting something new / they are different teams so not relevant
  • proton needs to make X / no they don't
  • people shouldn't put all their eggs in one basket / don't use the service then

Thanks!

They said in the announcement that this came out of the standard notes collaboration

"We built docs in Proton Drive as a joint project with the team from Standard Notes, who share our core values around privacy and security. "

I'm a visionary user of 5 years and am all in on proton. Waiting patiently to replace Dropbox with Drive. But the implementation of drive photos phone sync makes no sense to me. It syncs photos from the phone to drive, yes, but on a PC you can only access them via the web interface, not Windows explorer. So you can't organize them in any way and have them accessible as regular files.
