notice the lack of the word 'free'

[–] ProgrammingSocks@pawb.social 0 points 4 months ago

Google Docs is free because they use your data for advertising and AI training.

Get started by creating a free Proton Drive account today (if you don’t already have one). We are rolling out Docs starting today, and the feature will be available to all users over the next couple of days.

You can use it for free ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

free as in freedom, doofus

Specify that, "free" means two things in English, otherwise use "libre", which means freedom in Spanish and it's sometimes used to refer to free or libre software.

You're both as bad as each other

[–] Muscar@discuss.online 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Most "free" things aren't free, you pay by them collecting your information and selling it. Anyone that automatically thinks something is bad because it isn't free is dumb as fuck.
