Yeah, probably that was too much work to take on for one person. I hope there will be a better alternative to Google Docs soon :)

  but if there is not, why force the schools and kids to go through a set of tools that really isn't helping? It is a disservice to our community. We should be thinking how can we still use the best tool for the job but with the necessary layer of security and privacy. I privately use Protonmail and Protonvpn, but that's not about me but the educational system in Germany, having to support 10 million children. This rhetoric, IMO should go away.

    Why do you think that that's not a goal and possible outcome of GDPR? The article says that > Google has indicated that it plans to fix the privacy concerns by August 2023 to me that seems rather slow, as they've known about GDPR for years, but perhaps these kinds of measures are exactly what's required to get Google to act. And then, if by August 2023 the privacy of Google's services is improved, then GDPR will have achieved something valuable, I think. (Separately, I think it would still be valuable to have some alternatives, but the two are not mutually exclusive.)

      I absolute agree that we should have more alternatives. But to try to sell a solution to the education system in a country, we should be sure that it works flawless in all different setups out there. For you and me, we can hack around and accept some weakness in name of open source or alternative. We do that as Linux desktop users since.. forever? :)
