I was writing a lot of letters to sponsors this week and I should really thank the Google guys for all the years they allowed me to use my G Suite subscription for free. It started when it was a beta product (and called Google Apps if I'm not mistaken) and I applied for a free licence for a non-profit I worked with at the time (a local spelunking society if you can believe I ever was involved in that - I actually had dived into some really cool caves when I was young). The website I built for them never took off but I grandfathered a licence and used it for organizing my files for countless non-profit and for-fun-and-profit startup ventures since 2008 (or since when I have that subscription, it was way before my pro career and before many things).
I currently use it to have space for my decentralized hacker collective and Web3 community support army in training, and it comes so very handy. I don't have any funding other than what my dear friends and colleagues at Inference Labs have graciously provided (beer and pizza hackathon money) and having a free subscription for Google helps a great lot.
Thank you, Google, I really appreciate it and especially your not removing my account during all the years despite not understanding what I'm actually doing here. ♥️💫🫶
