my university is getting rid of their "free email for lifetime!" addresses which sucks cause I use it for a lot of things still. turns out late last year google decided just to squeeze public education by charging out the wazoo for what was mostly free storage space suddenly. it's 2024, space is basically free. nice, thank you google

is "actual inflation" the index that removes food, gas, and other more volatile prices?

Pretty much every SaaS firm increased their prices by 100-2000% percent in the last two years, so the new education/nonprofit price is just the old standard price in most cases. At the same time most software with a self-hosted option has nuked it and forced customers into their per-user priced cloud option.

Still funny that they keep removing things from the inflation index to try to get a better number and it still is bad.

Fast food prices have gone up way more quickly than fast casual or just casual places so at this point they are riding on inertia and having drive throughs.
