What doesn't fit here?

The core of the story has to be technology focused.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.


Rules

1. English onlyTitle and associated content has to be in English.
2. Use original linkPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.

4. InclusivityEveryone is welcome here regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
5. Ad hominem attacksAny kind of personal attacks are expressly forbidden. If you can't argue your position without attacking a person's character, you already lost the argument.

Google originally claimed to be privacy focused, too, until the incentives to enshittify became too great.

Use open source if you want privacy.

The open source version isn't E2E encrypted fyi

Can you provide more info on this? It looks like they built Meet with the MLS protocol, and unless I'm missing something, that should be E2EE and it should work on any client (regardless of the server)

They’ve just rebranded La Suite Meet anyway,

I was basing it off the top comment here which said "They’ve just rebranded La Suite Meet" (which isn't E2E) but it looks like that person might have just been talking out their ass anyway.

They've just rebranded La Suite Meet anyway, just use the open source version yourselves. https://github.com/suitenumerique/meet

Are we certain of that? I haven't used either, but I couldn't find any mentions of La Suite in the linked blog post

This is starting to borderline on a single company taking too many things on.
