  All theses tech giants are either firing employees or increasing price and adding more subscriptions.

      Hahah I was about to say, seems like literally every single one of them are doing both versus one of the other.

    Dont worry though, it’ll be approximately a decade before the general public realizes this is not ‘innovation’ and is basically stagnant monopoly/oligopoly behavior.

  They’ve been advertising this price hike for a while now. We’ve cancelled ours. Got the last “Hey, are you super duper sure you want to cancel?” email yesterday. Fuck 'em.

  I wish salaries everywhere went up with inflation and so we wouldn’t have to feel the pinch…

  I know, I’m saying trivialities…

  I wish this would cause my company to move away from Google. Google Workspace is terrible.

  'unwelcome'. of course. but this is no surprise. they jacked-up rates for new subs nearly a year ago, while leaving existing ones alone. that reprieve is now over.

  What's a good FOSS replacement?

    Nextcloud as a Drive replacement? Libreoffice for documents? There’s a ton of options for hosting email yourself. But IMO you’re not just paying Google (or other services) for the software but rather for them to host it for you. I use FOSS for almost everything and self-host many of my own services, but I pay a company to host my email and it’s money well spent.

    You can also self host libre or only office via next cloud

  Anyone got a suggestion for storage? I’d been using drive through workspace for unlimited, and they killed off unlimited a while back. I kinda just left it as it was, but 5TB storage isn’t worth this price.

  Ideally with decent download speeds and direct linking to files, but I can likely make anything work.

    1fichier. Rclone knows it, however 1fichier have sick “anti spam” measures, around 1 transaction per sec, so its better for big files, and not so fast for many small files.

      Nice, big files is actually what I’m mostly dealing in actually. And that 15/30 day restriction looks easy enough to bypass by touching the downloads once a week. And it’s free? ~whistles~

      Much appreciated.
